Monitor your blood glucose levels on the Hammerhead Karoo

Hi, I have developed an app that allows you to monitor your blood glucose levels while you ride your bike. It runs on the Hammerhead Karoo bike computer. GluKaMon is now out of beta and it's free.  Full description of it on the web site: glukamon.com

Highlights:

  • K2 and K3 Support — Works on both Karoo 2 and Karoo 3 and works over any network connection available (internal SIM chip or tethered to phone) 
  • 48 customizable data tiles across eleven categories — Visualize your data how you prefer 
  • Four CGM providers supported — Dexcom Share, FreeStyle Libre (via LibreLinkUp), Nightscout, and xDrip/Juggluco (local connection). Nighscout/xDrip support means it works with pretty much any CGM on the market
  • Three time periods — most tile families come in 1-minute, 5-minute, and 15-minute variations
  • Configurable glucose zones — set your own Very Low / Low / Target / High / Very High thresholds
  • Visual and audible notices — when your glucose enters a new zone, with tones tuned to both Karoo 2 and Karoo 3 speakers
  • Dark and light mode — follows your Karoo's system theme automatically
  • mg/dL or mmol/L — pick your preferred unit
  • FIT-file recording — glucose values embedded in your ride file for post-ride analysis in tools like Intervals.icu
  • 10 languages — All 10 Karoo supported languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese
  • Battery-aware design — three polling modes (1 minute5 minutes, or Dynamic, which dynamically adjusts based on the rate at which glucose readings are seen) 
  • Robust Recovery — Designed to detect and recover common CGM and network errors 
  • "Local" Support — GluKaMon can connect to xDrip and/or Juggluco running either locally on your Android phone (via WiFi hotspot) or sideloaded (i.e. sideload xDrip on your Karoo) so you can monitor your glucose even where there is no internet connection

I built a free, server-free Nightscout that anyone can set up in minutes.

Hi everyone,
I built a completely serverless way to deploy Nightscout. It costs nothing, and takes maybe a few minutes to set up, even if you have zero tech background.

https://github.com/sid-luo/nightscout-for-cloudflare

Ten years ago, my wife was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. She was 33 weeks pregnant, went into DKA, and was admitted to the hospital. She spent 3 days in the ICU, and we lost our baby girl. The aftermath was really rough on us.
It was something we struggled with for a long time, until 5 years ago when she got pregnant again. I started building little devices to monitor her blood sugar, all relying on Nightscout. Over time, I basically became a Nightscout "expert" and started hosting it on my own servers for other T1Ds for free.
I love the Nightscout project, but let's be honest, setting it up isn't exactly friendly for non-tech folks (and yeah, I know commercial options exist). I wanted to build this on Cloudflare because their free tier is super generous. The problem? It doesn't support MongoDB, and rewriting the core architecture was way above my paygrade. Thanks codex, I spent a lot of time (and burned through a massive amount of tokens) and finally got it working.
I’ve tested it a bunch, but this is my very first open-source project, so there will probably be some bugs.
BTW, my older son is 4 now, and my youngest is almost 2. Both are perfectly healthy.

Connect your glucose and meal data to ChatGPT or Claude?

Hey all, I'm Nico, co-founder and CTO of SNAQ (diabetes food tracking app)

We're exploring building an MCP server for SNAQ, essentially a secure way to let AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude read your data (meals, glucose, carbs, insulin etc.) directly. The idea is you could chat with your data, or build your own tools on top of it.

Before we build more of it I'm curious whether it's actually useful, or if we're just building a solution nobody asked for. Would love your honest takes:

  1. Would you connect your diabetes data (glucose, meals, activity) to an AI? Does that sound useful, or does it make you uneasy?
  2. If you had access to your data via Claude Code, Codex etc., would you actually build something with it? What would that even look like for you?
  3. Already doing something like this yourself? Would love to learn more; how it's set up and what's actually been useful vs. gimmicky.

Really appreciate any thoughts, also skeptical ones.
