get only the latest glucose value

[charlesGLP1]

Thank you very much for sharing this fantastic program. I have a project to use part of the code for grabbing only the last glucose value. The idea was to use this value for a further labview processing. Unfortunately, while labview is capable to call python nodes, I have difficulties to extract only the last glucose value.

Could you help ? I need only a python command to send via the terminal to display in the same terminal window the last glucose value

Thanks in advance

Here's a brief program which might suffice. It's hard for me to test because I "upgraded" to a G7 system, which no longer works with Dexctrack. Dexcom now encrypts all of their data, just to make it difficult for us.

# Support python3 print syntax in python2
from __future__ import print_function

import readReceiver

receiverInstance = None

#---------------------------------------------------------
def getReceiverInstance():
    rsni = None
    rdi = None

    my_dport = readReceiver.readReceiverBase.FindDevice()   # a port descriptor string
    if receiverInstance:
        rsni = receiverInstance
        devType = rsni.GetDeviceType()
    else:
        devType = None
        if my_dport is not None:
            rsni = readReceiver.readReceiver(my_dport, dbg=False)
            if rsni:
                devType = rsni.GetDeviceType()

    if my_dport:
        if rsni and devType:
            if devType == 'g4':
                rdi = readReceiver.readReceiver(my_dport, rsni.port, dbg=False)
            elif devType == 'g5':
                rdi = readReceiver.readReceiverG5(my_dport, rsni.port, dbg=False)
            elif devType == 'g6':
                rdi = readReceiver.readReceiverG6(my_dport, rsni.port, dbg=False)
            else:
                print('getReceiverInstance() : Unrecognized firmware version', devType)
        else:
            rdi = readReceiver.readReceiver(my_dport, dbg=False)

    return rdi

#---------------------------------------------------------

receiverInstance = getReceiverInstance()

if receiverInstance is not None:
    gluc, trend, read_status = receiverInstance.GetCurrentGlucoseAndTrend()
    if gluc:
        print('CurrentGlucose =', gluc, ' trend =', trend, ' status =', read_status)

When I run this with my old G6 Receiver, I get ...

$ python3 dexcGluc.py CurrentGlucose = 1 trend = 88 status = 0

which looks odd. Maybe the glucose and trend values got swapped? Not sure. It's hard to debug because I don't have a paired transmitter anymore.

Thank you so much for your fast answer.

I keep you informed of the ongoing work

Sincerlely

It works beautifully. Again many thanks. I have to remove the Global mention in the line Global receiverInstance = None. My knowledge on python is far too small to understand the reason. The essential part is that's it is working

Fantastic program and super help.
