Gluco-Status

 Gluco-Status

Gluco-Status is an application that runs on your Mac. It visualizes blood glucose data that is coming from a nightscout server.

So you need to have your own nightscout server to be able to use Gluco-Status!

You can setup your own nightscout server by following this instructions.

Issues:

If you encounter problems running Gluco-Status, feel free to file an issue over at github.

In the meantime I've also created a Java/JavaFX application that offers the same functionality and which also runs on Windows and Linux.

Please find more info here.

Here are some screenshots of the applications.

In the settings you need to set the address of your nightscout server (e.g. https://nightscout.herokuapp.com).

"Server unit mg/dl":

When setting up a nightscout server, you have to define the unit that the server should use. The standard of nightscout is mg/dl but you can change that to mmol/l. If you have choosen mg/dl for your nightscout server, please enable the switch "Server unit mg/dl".

In case you have choosen mmol/l for your nightscout server, please disable this switch.

"Unit mg/dl":

Whatever unit you have defined on your nightscout server you can change the display to either mg/dl or mmol/l. In case you would like to see the values in mg/dl, please enable the switch "Unit mg/dl". If you disable this switch the values will be shown in mmol/l.

"Low value notification":

Enable the switch if you would like to receive notifications for low values (in Gluco-Status acceptable low means values between min acceptable and 55 mg/dl which is min critical).

"Acceptable low value notification":

Enable the switch if you would like to receive notifications for acceptable low values (in Gluco-Status acceptable low means values between min normal and min acceptable values).

"Acceptable high value notification":

Enable the switch if you would like to receive notifications for acceptable high values (in Gluco-Status acceptable high means values between max normal and max acceptable values).

"High value notification":

Enable the switch if you would like to receive notifications for high values (in Gluco-Status high means values between max acceptable and 350 mg/dl which is max critical).

"Too low notification interval":

You can define the interval for notifications of too low values in a range of 5-10 minutes. In case of too low values you will receive notifications in the given interval.

"Too high notification interval":

You can define the interval for notifications of too high values in a range of 5-30 minutes. In case of too high values you will receive notifications in the given interval.

"Min acceptable":

The min acceptable value can be defined in the range of 60-70 mg/dl. 

"Min normal":

The min normal value can be defined in the range of 70-80 mg/dl. 

"Max normal":

The max normal value can be defined in the range of 120-160 mg/dl. 

"Max acceptable":

The max acceptable value can be defined in the range of 120-250 mg/dl. 

ATTENTION:

Too high and too low notifications will always be send.

In case the value is too high but the direction is either down or double down there won't be notifications. The same is true for values that are too low but the direction is up or double up.
