The technology is rather simple: your Dexcom receiver continues to work as it always has by reading the glucose level of the T1D who is wearing the sensor/transmitter. The following chart offers an overview of (many of) the paths available to setting up CGM remote monitoring using Nightscout. What phone will the T1D carry? (All solutions require the T1D to have a phone used as the “uploader.”).How Do You Get Your CGM in the Cloudĭetermining the best way for you to approach setting up Nightscout depends first and foremost on the following: The goal of the project is to allow remote monitoring of a T1D’s glucose level using existing monitoring devices. Nightscout also provides browser-based visualization for #openAPS users and Loop users. Today, there are Nightscout solutions available for Dexcom G4, Dexcom Share with Android, Dexcom Share/G5 with iOS, and Medtronic. When first implemented, Nightscout was a solution specifically for remote monitoring of Dexcom G4 CGM data. Nightscout was developed by parents of children with Type 1 Diabetes and has continued to be developed, maintained, and supported by volunteers. Nightscout (CGM in the Cloud) is an open source, DIY project that allows real time access to a CGM data via personal website, smartwatch viewers, or apps and widgets available for smartphones.
