Why we built it

My daughter has type 1 diabetes. We wanted to stop opening a phone every five minutes just to check her glucose.

As easy as a clock

So we hung screens around the apartment. Checking her number is now no harder than glancing at a clock, and it takes a lot off my mind.

Read more than the number

See the current reading, its direction and the change since the previous reading together.

Trouble stands out

The number turns orange when it’s high or low, and the whole card turns red when it’s urgent, so you notice from across the room. As a reading gets older, the card fades, so an old number never passes for a current one.

Fit your dashboard

The card adapts to the space you give it: a row in a wide slot, a column in a tall or square one, with the number scaled to fill it.

Use readings you already have

SugarTV works with supported glucose sources already connected to Home Assistant, including Dexcom, Nightscout, Libre and Medtronic services. The setup guide lists supported connections.
