It’s not much, but I would say pretty much everyone who uses some kind of continuous glucose measurement has a more powerful tool provided by the manufacturer or an open source alternative. The feature is pretty basic in Google Health anyways (it just shows the data), but at least it now is usable by anyone and not just those who happen to use the same units as Google. It opens it up to new integrations.
are you familiar with CGMs? My 8 yo cousin has got one but it’s active only fir 14 days and when it deactivates, It wipes all the data (wtf?). Is tyere a way to keep the data? Does it depend on the model?
I have used a CGM for years now, but I don’t know all of the models - only a few of them. In my experience most of the time the manufacturer offers some kind of cloud service to store your data (given your cousin is using a device that is capable of transmitting said data) and there are free to use services like Glooko (it’s the one I use - there are others) you can connect different devices to store and visualize these data. It helps a lot exploring patterns and finding ways to improve my therapy.
