Love this! Thank you for sharing! My backend is also in Go so this is a godsend. Will see how I can incorporate and let you know if I do!

> not having sanctioned access to real-time blood sugar values (the APIs are all one hour behind)

Ah, I didn't know this. One of the prospective tools I had in mind was real time alerting in case of drastic drops eg ping doctor or relative. I think will have to be limited to the apps/tools that do support realtime.

Technically there is unsanctioned access (someone reverse engineered the real-time APIs [1] which I ported to Go). I think the FDA does not want easy access to real-time values so that folks can't easily recommend insulin dosing without oversight. I am personally of the opinion that it is our right to have programmatic access to the real-time data and do with it what we please.

Would love to get in touch to hear more about your long-term vision for the project!

Is there genuinely a consideration here beyond not allowing activity without paying money to the hegemony?

Insulin is lethal at higher dosages, so there is definitely an argument. My counter would be that someone who has to self administer this drug 5+ times a day should have the right to make determinations about dosing
