The same primary author just recently published a novel as well. If you enjoy the writing style of the readme/faq you may enjoy it too. Feels like it might be a good vacation read.
For anyone new to it, the words you’re looking for are “continuous glucose monitor” (GCM), and “flash glucose monitor”.
Popular brands of it in the US are Freestyle Libre and Dexcom.
Their final cost to you will vary hugely by your insurance provider. Some with little to no cost, and others several dollars per day.
If you like data and are analytical by nature, and since you’re on HN that’s fairly likely, I’d highly recommend using them for a little while if you can afford it. They’re great for newly diagnosed people to understand in near real time without repeated finger pricking. But those are no terrible either and much better than not managing and monitoring! Slightly annoying at first but it is something that most people can get used to fairly easily.
It likely has more to do with the “data” team being different than the “application” team at a lot of big companies. It leads to many handoffs and inefficiencies and so people do a lot of things to route around it.

He’ll be missed. I’m a (relatively) young fan of his and been to several shows over the last 20 years.
He’s of course best known for Margaritaville and Come Monday. But theres a wealth of great storytelling and sing-along type songs in his catalog.
A few of my favorites if you’re interested in exploring:
The same could be said for nearly every sales call that I’ve been on the receiving end of.
It doesn’t make it “right”, but (nearly?) everyone who is involved in these conversations on both the buyer and seller sides of it knows that at best it’s aspirational capabilities that are being pitched and purchased. Usually it’s pretty far from that.
Im going to join the mini-appreciate session here and add that there’s still lines from Geeks in Space that give me a smile and chuckle when they pop into my mind well on 20 years later.
Part of one of my merit badges back in my youthful boy scouting days was being able to demonstrate how to turn a pair of pants (jeans iirc) into a temporary life jacket.
But it looks like they’ve change their stance to have the source code be closed since I last looked at it.
