Serious Low #579

Open doc77 opened 6 years ago

doc77 commented 6 years ago

Could there be a stat for serious lows, like below 55 mg/dl? There is now % in, % low, % hi, but not the very important statistic of serious low.

I agree with Doc77. I set xDrip+ Lows at 100, because I wish to have the possibility to correct it-before-reaching dangerous low values, but sometimes it happens anyway. So my MD is interested to know the exact percentage of -real- Lows in my statistics. Thanks. Andrea :-)

@doc77 Has this or something similar been implemented, or is this still missing? If not, would you please close this issue?

Closing due to inactivity

@doc77 Does this exist in Dexcom app? Does this capability exist in any app currently?

This sounds like something we could fairly easily incorporate into the statistics page of xDrip. I think Dexcom's usual definition of "serious low" is 55 mg/dl -- that's the point at which my Tandem pump doesn't allow you to disable CGM alarms.

However, I wonder what value having a "percentage of serious lows" would provide compared to, e.g., number of occurrences of serious lows, which could be a better metric potentially. It's also a good question of how much functionality we realistically want to provide in the statistics views -- since we're definitely limited by a certain amount of space on a phone like screen that we can fill with data, and we probably don't want to add yet even more indecipherable options for controlling what gets displayed in the statistics.

The first line of the statistics details page shows Range and has three values of in, high and low. Now, it will have two additional values of very low and very high. But, the values for low and high are specified by the user under Settings -> Glucose Units. There will be two new entries on that page called very low and very high.

The value is that a report, for the doctor, can be much more representative of how the control is. For example if you have 5% lower than 4 but only 1% lower than 3.9 versus if you have 5% lower than 4 and 4.5% lower than 3.9, the first case is a much better control, which currently cannot be represented.

But, it's pointless to open a PR, no matter how easy it is to incorporate, if it is going to just sit there as an open PR for years and never be merged. I'd like to know if the capability exists in other apps. Then, we may have a better chance of convincing the others why we should have this.
