#WeAreNotWaiting

Nightscout-Vertical#WeAreNotWaiting is a social media hashtag about people with Type 1 Diabetes, or their parents, who are not waiting for the insulin pump and CGM companies to give them remote access to their own/child’s CGM data. This movement has created Nightscout, a full end-to-end solution for allowing someone to remotely monitor CGM data.

We are not waiting…
…for our child to be safe during sports
…for our child to safely have a sleepover at a friend’s house
…for a peace of mind that our children are safe
…to give our children a better chance to succeed at school
…for endocrinologists to assemble disjointed pieces of the data puzzle
…for the regulators to regulate
…for a cure

Here’s a list of all my posts related to We Are Not Waiting, Nightscout, xDrip and CGM-in-the-Cloud.

Recently introduced into the mix is xDrip, a self made device which reads data direct from Dexcom’s CGM. Here’s my blogs about xDrip: introduction, components, building it, how it fits in

Maybe this will help with the Why?

 

 
If you’ve got 14 minutes spare watching the first part of Lane Desborough’s presentation video will help explain things
