Setup Guide

Welcome to the GlucoseTray wiki!

Defining your settings and what they mean:

Glucose Datasource:

Dexcom - For DexCom users, you can use your DexCom username and password to get your results directly from DexCom. Nightscout - For users of Nightscout, you can pull your results from your Nightscout instance.

DexCom Specific Settings (only visible when DexCom datasource is selected):

Username and Password - Enter your DexCom username and password used to log into DexCom Clarity. DexCom Server - For most US users, select US Share 1. If you experience issues, try US Share 2. For International users, please select International.

Nightscout Specific Settings (only visible when Nightscout datasource is selected):

Nightscout Url - The URL of your Nightscouts instance homepage, i.e. https://mytestaccount.herokupapp.com Access Token - If you lockdown access to your Nightscout site/API, you can enter your access key here so the application can reach your data.

Glucose Unit:

Select whether you prefer to view your results in MG/DL or MMOL/L.

Glucose Thresholds:

These values control what we consider the limits for our different ranges. When set to MG/DL for Glucose Unit, the fields accept whole numbers. When set to MMOL/L for Glucose Unit, the fields accept up to one decimal place. High values are shown in RED when displaying. Warning High values are shown in YELLOW when displaying. Warning Low values are shown in YELLOW when displaying. LOW values are shown in RED when displaying. Critically Low values are shown in RED when displaying. Values between Warning Low and Warning High are considered within the desired range and are shown in white.

Alerts

Tick the box to get a windows alert when your glucose readings cross the stated threshold. Critically Low Alerts show a message box, while the others show a notification.

Polling Rate:

The number of seconds we wait between querying for a new result.

Results Stale After:

The number of minutes we will for a new result before considering the data stale. If we cannot contact and datasource server and get a new result, the last result will keep showing. Once that result is older than our Stale period, it will be displayed with a strikethrough effect.

Inverse Server Data Source

The application assumes data will come from Nightscout/DexCom as MG/DL. If it is MMOL in your case, or you are not sure but your readings are off by a factor of 18, then check this box to use the proper calculations.

Hit SAVE to commit your settings and changes
