#008 John Costik Interview Nightscout and Dexcom

Fresh from his appearance at SXSW (South by Southwest) John Costik spends the evening talking about the Nightscout Project with me on the Juicebox Podcast. Find out how a single idea turned into a type 1 diabetes community movement that has changed lives, effected the FDA and continues to grow by leaps and bounds with the help of it's passionate volunteers. 

What is the Nightscout project?

Nightscout (CGM in the Cloud) is an open source, DIY project that allows real time access to a Dexcom G4 CGM from web browsers via smartphones, computers, tablets, and the Pebble smartwatch. The goal of the project is to allow remote monitoring of the T1D’s glucose level using existing monitoring devices.
