Nightscout Service

Nightscout makes it possible to store blood glucose in the cloud.

We care about diabetes care and the future of the community.

Nightscout was developed by parents of children with type 1 diabetes and is still developed, maintained and supported by volunteers. When Nightscout was first implemented, it was a solution specifically for remotely monitoring Dexcom G4 CGM data. Today, Nightscout solutions are available for many of the CGM (continuous glucose monitoring) devices on the global market. Nightscout also provides browser-based visualization for #openAPS users and Loop users. The aim of the project is to enable remote monitoring of the glucose level of a T1D using existing monitoring equipment.
