75% of children fail to achieve
recommended blood sugar goals in Type 1 Diabetes
Who is at fault? The patient or the design?
Which cord? PC desktop? No cloud connectivity?
Really?

Some people wonder why almost no one uploads their pump data…
I think I know why: because getting it to work can be like
CRAWLING. THROUGH. BROKEN. GLASS.
@HowardLook
Healthcare: “Fax us your numbers!” Kid: “Mom, what’s a fax? Is it compatible with Snapchat?”
What is his BS???
#mhealth to the rescue!
Hard to find Too many
Uncertain Quality Uncertain Benefit
Lack of link to provider Lack information on security/data
Too much burden
The promise of mobile health has yet to be realized
Hacking Commands
Getting the data I wanted Byte Array decoding

“This led up to an email from the wonderful Lane Desborough. We got talking, I shared my simple Windows uploader with him, and he began working on “Nightscout” – a glance-able BG chart that could be viewed throughout a home”
“We continued to work on our apps and tools, more folks on twitter began to notice – and it became very clear that people really wanted this tool. It was life changing for us, and other parent’s immediately saw the value, the hope for a less complex, safer, healthier life it can bring.”
“Freedom!”
“The “CGM in the Cloud” Facebook group started from these early twitter interactions and helping just a few other d-parents looking for a better way. We have wonderful tools, but they can do more! JC, JA, & TC deserve the credit for scaling this system. JA started the group, because he knew that we were not the only ones tired of waiting.”
