NEW Feature: Manual blood measures entry #7229

Open hanoii opened 2 years ago

hanoii commented 2 years ago

I thought it might be good to be able to manually add the accurate blood leves as measures from the blood lanced in the fingertip to be able to grasp how offset are the values from the cgm sensors

It depends on your way to upload data to nightscout. Medtronic pumps with cgm sensors using the android uploader do also upload blood glucose values. What is your exact setup?

psit commented 2 years ago

You can also do that manually using the careportal plugin. That allows you to add events manually in nightscout. These events also allow setting a blood glucose level. There is also a BG reading event.

Edit: The docs about how to enable plugins is here: https://nightscout.github.io/nightscout/setup_variables/

So, I am helping a friend of mine with his kid. He's tech savvy enough but not a dev and this is what I do on a daily basis so trying to help getting proper insight.

His setup (as far as I could understand it not being the parent) is Freestyle Libre + MiaoMiao + Xdrip+ (now, previously tomato) uploading to a nightscout hosted on heroku.

Today he come up with a few examples of inconsistencies, like nightscout showing 220, but reading straight off the NFC value of miaomiao was 140. I went to look at mongo and the I didn't see the 140 anywhere, so one thing that I like (which is not this issue but if you can give me insight about it will really help me help him more) is why I don't have the raw value of the reader on nightscout.

Then at some other point if the day, nightscout was showing 151, NFC value was 109 and manual blood reading was 146. So I like them to have all of this values on nigthscout graphed out, like the calibrated value from xdrip, the raw value from the miaomiao and potentially the blood measures they manually .

I will look into the careportal plugin.

careportal actually works really good for this so I'd close this issue, but if you can maybe share some insights into the above, it might help.

This was partially mentioned in NightscoutFoundation/xDrip#514 but it was closed without much feedback

psit commented 2 years ago

So your friend uses xdrip to upload the data and xdrip shows the correct values? If not, what app or device uploads the data?

I'm sorry, thats beyond my knowledge (my boy has Medtronic), I'm just trying to ask the right question so someone else can help you better.

I think xdrip uploads the calibrated value, the real value is obtained by some other app, the one from libre probably.
