First of all -- awesome!

Second, if you aren't aware or in case others are interested, the main dev from the xdrip project released a custom watch as well: https://bluejay.website/ There are some posts on reddit from the dev. (for others -- the watch is available for purchase, and allows integration w/ xdrip).

Third --> we've come a long way in a short time. When I was diagnosed I had to collect urine samples and drop chemical tablets in them to see how much glucose was present. And now you are building an custom solution tailored to your and your son's needs...wow. I really applaud you.

Fourth --> I'm hoping the new discoveries in the synthetic signaling w/ insulin will finally give us a biological solution and the tech will no longer be necessary. Here's to hoping!

Yes! The BlueJay watch project is amazing, very encouraging to see that he was able to connect directly to the sensor from the watch with the latest version. Totally agree with you - one of the biggest sources of hope for us in those first few weeks after he was diagnosed was knowing how far the tech had come, and how many huge advancements were in the pipeline.
