paulsparkn··on Show HN: Spark'n – Unique 15m online experiences to energize dull team meetings
Aye that was some broken stuff. Thx for pointing it out.

Will work on static / visual messaging further too.

Really interesting. Thanks for sharing your experience!

In Australia we only have access to the Libre 1. Which is both frustrating as I’d like my girlfriend to have the ease of the Libre 2/3 (bluetooth etc) but it’s tolerable given the more open nature of the first iteration where we double the function life - essentially halving the high cost.

I’m looking at grabbing a Bubble glucose monitor (https://www.bubblan.org/) that adds bluetooth functionality to the Libre 1 amongst other monitoring etc.

Have you looked into OpenAPS / AndroidAPS to move away from the Dexcom? Still learning so this may be an overly simplistic question.

Thx! I’ll definitely sub up to the channel and follow along.

I’m in Australia we unfortunately mimic the US when it comes to many health ailments - my girlfriend has T1 diabetes.

I am offended with the intentionally slow roll when it comes to artificial pancreas solution development... moreso, the regulatory hurdles these products are being held up in.

That said, there is a willing hacker community around CGM solutions that can be dove into that yields pretty awesome results in function and hip pocket savings.

paulsparkn··on Ask HN: What is the worst product you still use?
Fair to say with my distribution of calendars in multiple google and ms calendars I find all calendar solutions horrendously inadequate on a daily basis.

Have tried Woven of recent times but it doesn’t cut it. I miss Sunrise (MS bought them).
