Adventures in APIs: A tiny lil’ weather app
This is my second app (huzzah!) – and I made it purely for learning purposes. I needed to figure out how to access online data, and weather data is a decent place to start since it’s familiar and there are a lot of well-documented options to choose from. The image above shows the main weather… Read more

Insulin, Carbs, and a bit of Minecraft: Creating my First Mobile App
Hi everyone – I’m excited to share my first mobile app! It’s really more of a mini-app that is a step along the way to building something better, but it’s still a big deal to me ❤️ It’s extra fun because it let’s me mush together my absolute dorky love of coding, my appreciation for… Read more

Loop data, part 6: Day 3 Highs – are they real?

For anyone who’s less familiar with insulin pumps and how they work, Alma wears an Omnipod Dash pump. It’s a little plastic pod that sticks to her body for three… Read more

This time I covered a couple of things – daily statistics calculations and also some really really basic time series plotting. I like daily statistics – and copied most of the code from my older project (older post on daily stats). I like the quick interactive plotting with hvplot but those plots don’t render in… Read more

Loop data, Part 3: Figuring out time zones
The time zone thing is sort of a detail I could have skipped for the time being – I was already converting CGM times from “UTC” to “US/Eastern”, and it would have been fine for the foreseeable future… until we decided to travel someplace that is in a different time zone, and then it would… Read more

Extract loop settings at specific times – part 2
I should probably explain what I’m even trying to do here. I mean, my main goal is, of course, to improve the way I’m treating my daughter’s type 1 diabetes. But the question is – how? One of the amazing benefits of the loop system is that you have control over so many variables. With… Read more

Exploring Loop data in a Mongo database – Part 1
Now that we have Alma up and running with a DIY Loop system, all of her data live on a MongoDB database. Everything is in there – blood sugar (readings every 5 minutes!) and pump data (boluses, corrections, carb ratios, insulin sensitivities, basal settings, etc). This data could really help to figure out her settings… Read more
