All types. The sugar dashboard allows import of data from different glucose apps, so its goal is to allow you visualize and analyze your data. I hope to integrate with cgms directly if I get some that allow it, and also source from Health connect. Sharing with specific people eg doctor is also a big ask that I'm working on. The other WIP tools will be fore general health, not just diabetes, like carb counting from a photo via AI

Also recently diagnosed and just open sourced how I'm using AI to count carbs + get insulin doses [1]. Biggest issues I've seen to starting a legit business is not having sanctioned access to real-time blood sugar values (the APIs are all one hour behind), and dealing with the FDA. Love the idea of more tech-enabled diabetes management, good luck! [1] https://github.com/kennedyjustin/BolusGPT https://github.com/kennedyjustin/BolusGPT

  Love this! Thank you for sharing! My backend is also in Go so this is a godsend. Will see how I can incorporate and let you know if I do! > not having sanctioned access to real-time blood sugar values (the APIs are all one hour behind) Ah, I didn't know this. One of the prospective tools I had in mind was real time alerting in case of drastic drops eg ping doctor or relative. I think will have to be limited to the apps/tools that do support realtime.

    Technically there is unsanctioned access (someone reverse engineered the real-time APIs [1] which I ported to Go). I think the FDA does not want easy access to real-time values so that folks can't easily recommend insulin dosing without oversight. I am personally of the opinion that it is our right to have programmatic access to the real-time data and do with it what we please. Would love to get in touch to hear more about your long-term vision for the project! [1] https://github.com/gagebenne/pydexcom https://github.com/gagebenne/pydexcom

        Insulin is lethal at higher dosages, so there is definitely an argument. My counter would be that someone who has to self administer this drug 5+ times a day should have the right to make determinations about dosing
