r/Medtronic780g by u/Insulifting 8mo ago Update post to those that wanted the automation for logging the MiniMed values to the Health app. It's a longer post with all of the instructions typed out and screenshots included for reference. Hi everyone, it took me a while to type all of the steps in a way that I hope is as simplified as possible, not everyone is a programmer (including me) or familiar with looking at some code and Shortcuts can seem a little daunting if you've never dealt with any of that.
It turns out I can't share the Automation directly, you can only share shortcuts. These are all of the instructions, if you need further help I'll be happy to answer anyone and I've included screenshots of what I'm referring to.
Step 1. Open the "Shortcuts" app (if you don't have this you can download it on the App Store, it is an official Apple app) and tap "Automation" at the bottom.
Step 2. Tap the "+" in the top right.
Step 3. Scroll down to where it says "App" and tap it.
Step 4. Tap "Choose" and select the "MiniMed Mobile" app from the list.
Step 5. Select "Is Opened" (should be the default option) and select "Run Immediately" at the bottom, make sure to turn off "Notify When Run".
Step 6. Tap "Next" in the top right, on the next screen under the "Get Started" heading choose "Create New Shortcut".
Step 7. Tap "Search Actions", type "Wait", and select the "Wait" function (not the "Wait to Return" functi

I just switched to a **Pixel 9** from an **iPhone 12**, and I’m trying to rebuild my health tracking setup.
On iOS, I used **Apple Health** as a central hub. I'm not super active and don't use a daily smartwatch, but I **track my workouts with Strava**, and I used to log all my health data in Apple Health, including:
* Steps and distances
* Sleep
* Weight and height
* Alcohol and drug intake
* Occasional logs from apps like Zepp, Mi Fitness, Huawei Health, etc.
It was great having everything in one place.
I’ve read some older threads, but most people focus only on **fitness tracking** (workouts, heart rate, etc.).
What I’m really looking for is a **complete health hub**, like Apple Health — something that lets me:
* Log personal metrics manually
* Track lifestyle habits (alcohol, meds, etc.)
* Sync with third-party apps and services
* View everything in a structured, timeline-based dashboard
So far I’ve tried:
* **Google Fit** – nice idea, but super minimal and doesn’t even track things like alcohol or medication
* **Fitbit** – seems very fitness-oriented, not great for general health tracking
* **Samsung Health** – better than Fitbit, but doesn't import my
Open on Reddit r/healthconnect by u/statsix6 3mo ago I built an Android app to export Health Connect data to Google Sheets / CSV (no third‑party API) I tried to find a reliable way to get my Health Connect data out of Android and into something I can actually analyze (Google Sheets, CSV, etc.). Everything I found either didn’t work consistently, or required a paid/third‑party API.
So I built the **Health Data Export** android app, which reads data directly from Health Connect and exports it to:
* **Google Sheets** (pushes data into a spreadsheet)
* **CSV** (saved locally so you can import anywhere)
Since it integrates with Health Connect, **it can read and export data from virtually all wearables!** It supports per-day exports across categories like Activity, Body Measurements, Sleep, Nutrition, Cycle Tracking, and Vitals (including high-volume metrics like heart rate / HRV / SpO2 / respiratory rate).
It also includes:
* **Auto export** to sync your data to CSV files or to the cloud.
* **Manual export** to manually only export a specific date range
* **Historical data export** to export your entire historical health metrics

Open on Reddit r/esp32 by u/msdiorin 3mo ago I built an ESP32 color projection clock that shows time, weather, stock prices, and blood glucose on your ceiling — firmware is open source Hey r/esp32 👋
I want to share a project I've been working on for a few years now. It's called **Frixos** — a family of daylight projection clocks built on ESP32, running ESP-IDF, with integrations for Home Assistant, CGM devices (Dexcom, Freestyle Libre, Nightscout), OpenWeather, and [Finnhub.io](http://Finnhub.io) stock quotes. The firmware source code is available on GitHub for personal use.
**Full transparency:** I also sell these as finished devices at [buyfrixos.com](https://buyfrixos.com/). But the firmware is open source, and I genuinely want to share the project with this community, get feedback, and hopefully inspire some builds.
# How it started
A few years ago I wanted a projection clock I could actually read during the day. Tried a bunch of commercial ones — they were all dim red LEDs that vanished the moment sunlight hit the room. I stumbled across [shufps/diy-projector-clock](https://github.com/shufps/diy-projector-clock) on GitHub, which proved the concept of using an LCD + high-power LED as a projection source. That was the spark. I took the idea and ran with it in a completely different direction — full-color projection, smart home integration, health monitorin
Open on Reddit r/diabetes_t1 by u/tom-t1d 4mo ago This started as a personal CGM hack. It’s becoming something bigger... **hey everyone**👋
a few months ago, i shared a small tool i built: a way to see my CGM data overlaid on my **Strava** activities. i just wanted to understand what my glucose was doing during runs.
i posted it here. hundreds of you tried it all around the world. it was incredible.
but it was just a small piece of the puzzle.
🏃what about that weird spike after 1h run? or after sushis? the unexplained crash at 3pm? we all have these questions. our CGM apps show us what happened, but rarely why.
👨💻 so i kept building.
the vision is simple: understand what moves your glucose.
not just exercise but food, sleep, stress, menstrual cycles, all of it. one simple dashboard that connects to the apps we already use.
**what the app does now:**
✅ real-time glucose — see your current reading and trends at a glance
✅ food — log meals, snap a photo, see your glucose response
✅ sport — connect strava, see your activities with glucose overlay and stats
🔜 sleep, stress, … — coming via wearables (apple health, whoop, …)
🔜 cycle tracking — for those of us who know hormones mess with everything
the idea isn't to replace your CGM app. it's to give you context. to finally see the patterns you

Any Apple watch users have tips on how they access their Freestyle Libre data (or other glucose monitor if I switch)?
I've been using the Libre watch app, but when I asked Siri on the watch to show my blood glucose level it wanted to use Apple Health. Turns out Libre doesn't send our data to Apple Health. Looks like I need a bridge app like: Zukka, Diabeto Log, FLwatch, or GlucoWatch to do this.
Anyone have any experience with making it simple for me to just ask Siri what my blood sugar levels are and getting a quick response?
Tried posting this to the Freestylelibre sub but the mods removed it. [Sorry, this post has been removed by the moderators of r/Freestylelibre.] Grateful to anyone in this larger sub who can help.
Open on Reddit r/dexcom by u/Illustrious-Shock-82 1mo ago Apple Watch Dexcom G7 shows real-time glucose but no way to access the value outside the watch app — any workaround? I use the direct-to-watch Bluetooth pairing from my G7 sensor to my Apple Watch (without my iPhone as part of the chain). I’d like to have my data send from my watch to the Cloud (i.e. to my wife’s phone) without needing my iPhone present or powered on. This would basically make the Apple Watch a standalone uploader of CGM data.
From what I’ve gathered it seems that without an iPhone as an uploader to the cloud, CGM readings are trapped in the Dexcom watch UI and can't be decrypted or shared with other apps. It can technically get pushed to HealthKit, but only with a 3 hour delay (not practical for t1d decisions).
* Is there any private API
* that exposes live CGM values from the watch?
Any

* read complication data or Dexcom app
glucose value auto every 5 mins?
* Or is the watch face data strictly UI-only with zero programmatic access by design?

Second, if I click on that Glucose Tab, the app gets stuck, not letting me select an option to then click the grayed out "OK" button at the bottom of the page, and it won't let me back out.

Lastly, no matter how many times I restart, re-log in, or reinstall all the apps and accounts, the G7 app refuses to link with my Clarity app. I've tried everything.

Open on Reddit r/Type1Diabetes by u/CxJoe 8mo ago What features would actually make a diabetes app useful day-to-day? Hey everyone,
I’m currently going into my 4th and final year of my computer science degree, which means doing my honours project. I want to build something around Type 1 diabetes. My mum has Type 1, so this is something pretty close to home for me too.
I don’t want to just make a random app — I’d love to hear from people who actually live with it every day. What’s missing from the apps you use now? What would actually make life easier?
For example:
* Do you wish you had better meal/exercise logging linked with glucose?
* Do the constant alarms drive you mad and need to be smarter?
* Would clearer trend graphs or predictions help?
Basically, if you could wave a magic wand and add one feature that would make your diabetes management less stressful or more useful, what would it be?
Any ideas or frustrations are super appreciated.

Open on Reddit r/Type1Diabetes by u/No_Coffee_4120 8mo ago Came in yesterday! Nervous about having tubing, I’ve been using omnipod since dx for 2 years but excited for the newness and hopefully less skin issues due to smaller adhesives.
Day 0 Update (Friday 10/17): the Chleo 90 is a little finnicky to put on. The tubing is freaking me out but that was expected. Compared to running my own loop, it feels like someone put the training wheels back on (no algo experiments, no auto bolus). You cannot share to nightscout (the FSL3+ ONLY speaks to the Twiist app, so no sharing from Libre app to nightscout, etc). One unit bolus button on the pump itself is a neat feature if you use it. The app is basically the same as a DIY loop but you also control your CGM from there; however, no multiple presets - only one for "workouts" instead of presets for multiple situations incl. sick days or travel but maybe that's on the horizon. NO WIDGETS! which is annoying because I use the homescreen widget for Loop for everything, AND because you're not on a CGM's own app, no Dexcom widget on the homescreen to easily view at a glance, nor does it work with my preferred watch face but there are options for watch that do.

Open on Reddit r/diabetes by u/Few-Action-8049 4mo ago Libre 3 plus frustrations So continuous glucose monitors are pretty new to me, just started using them a few months ago, got a six pack of sensors, the last two of them caused me a real problem and I found out that I had a boulder version of a software on my phone, upgraded to the newest software.
My second pack of six sensors, and overall things have been pretty good once or twice I had a real low or real high that saved in accurate, and it turned out that it was off by a whole lot, so since I upgraded to the correct software things have overall been pretty good.
Then yesterday morning, I put on the last of my current pack, so I’m gonna have to need to get a refill and I thought maybe it felt a little bit off at first, but it seemed to be doing OK.
And then twice over the night, the alarm went off say my blood sugar drops to around 50. Both times I got up and checked my blood sugar. The first time I was 117 in the second time I was 90, but the whole time I was asleep, it said my blood sugar never went above 60, and of course get it woken up twice in the middle of the night with those alarms.
As soon as I woke up, it jumped up over the next half hour just about where it was. It was only like five points
Open on Reddit r/dexcom by u/Putertutor 7mo ago Alternate Android App to use with Dexcom G7? I am a T2 diabetic diagnosed in 2019. I have just started using a Dexcom G7 cgm within this last year after a sudden, unexplained, jump in glucose levels. My doctor put me on insulin temporarily thinking it was an autoimmune flare that caused it. I had never been diagnosed with an autoimmune issue, but this could be the catalyst for testing.
Fast forward to now, the flare seems to have subsided and my numbers are back down to acceptable range. I have successfully weaned myself off the original low dose of basal insulin (10 units per day). I am back to only taking Metformin ER (2,000 mg per day) and Ozempic. But I would like to continue using the cgm because I really like being able to track the foods that I eat and how they affect my blood glucose levels. I would like to be able to also see if another flare is coming on.
I just got a notice from Dexcom saying that the current G7 app will no longer be supported by my android phone, because the OS on my phone (OS 12) will not be able to handle the updated G7 app as of Dec. 15th. I checked to see if my OS can be updated, but my phone won't allow it. I guess my phone is too old.

Looking to hear both successes and shortcomings of different pump and CGM setups. I've only ever used Dexcom and Omnipod (been on Dexcom close to 10 years, and Omnipod around 4yrs).
I wrote up why I want to switch, what I'm looking for, & who I am below. But even if you don't necessarily have a personalized rec for me, I want to hear YOUR story. I know very little about other systems, and I definitely read here and other T1D related subs, but this gives me the chance to potentially have active back and forth convos around what people say. Thank you!!
**Why am I looking to switch?**
I tried the G7 when it first became compatible with the O5. I hated it. It has terrible connectivity to the O5, and really bad accuracy issues overall. I switched back tot he G6 immediately. I'm not interested in being a part of Dexcom forcing its customer base to switch to an inferior product just because they sank however many millions of dollars into R&D. I know some people love the G7 and I'm genuinely happy for you, but it didn't work for me at all.
For Omnipod, it's less of a single big thing and more that I've grown increasingly frustrated with their clunky algorithm over time. I can

He's going to keep his phone on the desk rather beside his bed. This way he'll have to get up to respond to it so hopefully he'll be awake enough to deal with it and not be able to unconsciously snooze it. Also, since we have the alarms going to my phone all the time now, I'll also be aware of it during the night.
His open source app may also have a way to send me the actual glucose number rather than just a low alert. We're still working on that.
Thank you so every single one of you who responded. You have no idea how much help it was to hear from others and get such great advice and support.
Side note in case this helps anyone else: he also has lupus nephritis and some of the meds can mess with blood glucose levels. The rheumatologist and endocrinologist need to talk to each other!

Won’t pretend I’m handling it well. I keep replaying the years of not-great control, the meals I didn’t think twice about, the highs I let ride because I was busy. None of that is undone now. What I can change is from here forward.
The apps haven’t been enough. They log numbers but I’m losing the bigger picture: how a specific meal hit me, what my basal was doing, my stress, my sleep, the soft context that actually explains the spikes.
I want to slow down and pay attention. Writing things by hand feels like the right pace for that. So I’m thinking about a bullet journal. Something I can flip through and see patterns over weeks, not a graph that resets every day.
Before I commit, would love to hear from other T1s who’ve tried it:
\- What does your daily spread look like? Carbs, BG, insulin, or something looser? Any photos/inspos you can share?
\- Did writing it by hand change how you ate or dosed, or just how you tracked?

It's my first post on Reddit, so please don't judge me severely :)
I’ve got t1d bit more than 5 years ago, and I wanted to share something that’s been popping out in my mind more often and ask if it relates to your case as well.
My story is this:
I have needlephobia (probably not valid anymore). No blood check in past 9 years preceding diabetes suspicion - I had a red flag when I did urine test (easy ofc :D). So when my partner said I should do blood check that was a hard pass. My background is software engineering and I love data, numbers etc, so instead of giving blood from my vein I bought Libre 2 :D as it didn't look as scary to me back then (took me 1h to install mainly due to final moment of pressing applicator 🤦♂️ ).
Sadly, data confirmed it with sugars around 17-28mmol/l after which I had to do blood work ofc and got ticket to hospital with DKA :/ and needlephobia therapy ofc - IV drip etc.
I quickly realized that the only way to survive diabetes and keep as normal a life as possible is through data and discipline. And I didn't have a problem with either, but the latter was heavily underestimated by me.

“Dear Policy Team,
I am writing to share my concerns as a person with diabetes who relies daily on continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems such as the Dexcom G7 and the Freestyle Libre 3 Plus.
While these devices are invaluable tools in managing diabetes, I am troubled by FDA-imposed requirements that force manufacturers to implement “critical alerts” in their mobile applications that cannot be silenced, customized, or adjusted by the user.
As someone living with diabetes, I understand the importance of timely glucose information and safety warnings. However, these mandatory alerts—when fixed and non-adjustable—create significant challenges for users like me:
Individual variation: What qualifies as a critical glucose level is highly personal. For example, a level flagged as dangerously low for one person may be tolerable or even normal for another, depending on their history, sensitivity, and care plan.
False readings: CGM sensors are known to occasionally give inaccurate data. Compression lows (caused by pressure on the sensor during sleep) or false highs and lows from certain foods or supplements are co

My dad has type II diabetes and dementia. Earlier in life he managed his diabetes well through diet and exercise, but since moving into a memory care unit his weight has increased and we’ve become very concerned about his blood sugar.
We were able to use two sample Dexcom G7 sensors, which I can monitor remotely through the Dexcom *Follow* app. Unfortunately, the readings confirmed his glucose is consistently at very dangerous levels. His doctor and care team have now adjusted his diet and started new medications, but my second (and last) G7 sample expires tomorrow, leaving me without a way to see if these changes are working.
His doctor wrote a prescription for the G7, but Walgreens/Medicare denied coverage because he doesn’t have a history of hypoglycemic events. Since he isn’t on insulin (not safe given his cognitive state), I just want to continue monitoring his glucose remotely to track whether the new plan is helping.
From what I’ve read, **Dexcom Stelo** might be an option, but I’ve heard it doesn’t work with the *Follow* app. Is that true? If so, is there another way to view his Stelo readings remotely?
And if Stelo isn’t a fit, what’s the most affordable wa
Open on Reddit r/diabetes by u/hayatofan 2mo ago Carb trackers that log glucose levels? I've been logging my meals in the Dexcom app for months at this point, assuming that this data would help me improve at balancing my insulin doses. I thought that, if I were to look back at a meal from a few weeks ago, I would see how the meal and my insulin dose affected my blood sugar, so I can make a more informed bolus in the moment.
Unfortunately, neither the Dexcom nor the Clarity app actually remember those kinds of details, at least as far as I can tell. I know there's a Dexcom website that tracks such things, but that's not conveniently accessible when I'm trying to make a quick insulin decision before a meal.
Any app suggestions? It would be nice if the app also has carb info for common foods, but that's not as necessary.

I am longtime type 1 diabetic. Using MiniMed 740G insulin pump with Gaurdian 4 Sensor.
Recently I bought a Garmin watch and wanted to see the glucose readings on my phone. I looked on the internet a bit and found that I can download nightscout on my Garmin (which I did successfully) and to connect it with Xdrip+ on my Android OS phone. Here is the problem - I downloaded Xdrip+ to my phone but it does not work with Minimed 740G/Gaurdian 4. I searched the web and found two possible solution: one is to use the "Companion App" data source and allow notification, and another one is to connect to the cloud's account of my sensor. The first solution did not work and I did not want to use the second the solution.
Anyone have other ideas how to connect Garmin to my CGM to show values on the watch?
Open on Reddit r/GooglePixel by u/EngineerBoy00 10mo ago Any way to get a reminder that is triggered by me getting out of bed and starting my day? I have a Pixel 8 Pro phone and a Pixel Watch 3, which I wear overnight every night. My day-to-day schedule is not fixed and I can get up and start my daily activities at times ranging from 5am (sometimes earlier) to 10am (sometimes later). Importantly, I typically decide my get-out-of-bed time in the morning, not the night before.
What would be ideal is a way to set a reminder that says, X minutes after you get up out of bed and start moving around I'll remind you about Y.
I know that Fitbit Health sends a daily summary to my watch when it thinks I've awakened for the day, but I often spend hours(s) in bed after waking up, or even go back to sleep, so that notification ain't it.
What I'm trying to solve for is that I don't want to set alarms or reminders that either a) are too early and wake me up before I decide to get up or b) are too late and I've missed my window for the subject of that reminder (example: I need to take care of household/personal task Y before I leave the house).
I've resorted to the stupid, practical-effects method of sticky notes on the inside of my closed bedroom door but that's highly inefficient. I mean, if I think of the reminder while laying in bed
