Importing/Syncing data from insulin pump
by Fox MaSk Dec. 22, 2018

Dec. 22, 2018

Hi, Some months ago, I made a project for a friend of mine, to allow him to manage his diabetes. I made that with django and published it on github. Some people discovered it and asked me if the project can import/sync data from their pump. And all I have to reply them "No, sorry", each time. But that make me sad for us. So I'm coming here for asking if you know manufacturers/projects that allow that kind of use ? Regards.

by Naomi Ceder Dec. 22, 2018

Dec. 22, 2018

Hi everyone, It is with great pleasure that I announce that Ewa Jodlowska will be the PSF's first Executive Director, starting January 1, 2019. Given her years of dedicated service to the PSF from event manager to her current position as Director of Operations, I can think of no one more qualified to fill this role as the PSF continues to grow and develop. Please join me in both congratulating Ewa on her new position and in thanking her for all that she's done for the PSF. And happy holidays to all! Cheers, Naomi Ceder Chair, PSF Board of Directors -- Naomi Ceder @NaomiCeder • https://www.linkedin.com/in/naomiceder/ https://www.manning.com/books/the-quick-python-book-third-edition
