Diabetes Cockpit by Lukas Schuster

Sunday, 16 October 2022
Noon PT / 3pm ET / 10pm BST-GMT
Zoom link to be provided soon, or
YouTube LiveStream Diabetes Cockpit is a new app that displays relevant metrics with the goal of behavior change, instead of simple descriptive statistics. This app takes an interesting approach and is being featured in November at the DiabetesMine Fall 2022 Innovation Days, as the latest #WeAreNotWaiting DIY Project. It outgrew its roots as a small pet project with the support of the Looped group, and provides holistic and user-centric data analytics, primarily for loopers on iOS. Lukas’ diabetes journey started with his T1D diagnosis in 2011. While he planned his own startup, he ended up joining the early mySugr team in 2013. After cycling through many roles within the company and through the acquisition by Roche Diabetes Care, he now leads the Evidence and Data Analytics Chapter. When he is not working, he spends his time on private pet projects like Diabetes Cockpit or making music. Diabetes Cockpit is available in the app store.

Zoom or
YouTube LiveStream Happy Bob is a personal digital health companion aimed at helping you improve your diabetes management. With Bob by your side, you can reduce the stress that comes with diabetes data overload while still achieving better glycemic control. As a secondary CGM display, Happy Bob delivers your glucose values alongside messages from one of our many characters. This personalized delivery model allows you to feel more like a person than a patient, as this app is far from the everyday medical device format.
“Diabetes exacts a huge mental toll and our app is designed to alleviate the data overload involved with daily care and glycemic control. Happy Bob is here to make your day better, and this partnership with Dexcom makes Happy Bob better able to do that.”

Is your endocrinologist/healthcare team looper-friendly or even a looping expert?
Thank you to our many friends who have contributed to our list of Loop-friendly providers... we have 200 on our list already!
We are excited to share this excellent resource and encourage you to add your provider's name to the list (and tell us about them) if you have not yet.
With almost members, certainly more have providers that we can add to the list to benefit our community (as well as the providers). Please use this form to add yours today!
We update the list regularly, and post it on the Loop and Learn website … plus it lives under Files in our FB group. Click on the link below to add your provider's information and/or review the list.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING

Important Notice for Nightscout Users:
Heroku's Upcoming Changes
On August 25, Heroku announced that it is shutting down its free service level that many of us use for Nightscout hosting. Thank you to Heroku, which has allowed NS to thrive in their environment for YEARS, essentially supporting this community to the value of millions of dollars.
You can read their full posting by clicking the Heroku link below.
Users will have until November 28 to decide how they want to proceed. We will update you as more options become available, but for now, your options are:
- Azure (Free),
- Railway app ($5 or less per month),
- Pay for hosting at Heroku, (around $7 per month),
- Migrate to another hosting service such as Digital Ocean (around $5 per month),
- Subscribe to T1Pal, or
- Subscribe to ns10.be
Both of the subscription services listed in #5 and #6 above support Remote Overrides for Loop-master users. If Loop Dev's Remote Carbs and Remote Bolus features are important to you, please contact the service provider to confirm that it meets your needs before switching. And the #WeAreNotWaiting family is still evaluating options; to be added to the Nightscout Documentation later.
All NS users need a plan for November 28. Our current recommendation is to sit tight until November 1 to see what options become available. Will the LnL Team wait until November 27 to make a decision? No, we will not. By mid-November, every member of the team will be using the option that best meets their needs. And you should too.
