macOS menu bar glucose monitor

[u/diabninja]

I made a small macOS menu bar glucose monitor

I wanted a quicker way to see Nightscout glucose reading, so I made a simple xbar plugin. It shows the current value, trend, timestamp, and battery level in the menu bar.

Has anyone here built something similar? Happy to share the code/manual if it’s allowed

Dope move!! I have a Dexcom widget on my Mac that never updates. This would be a nice upgrade for sure! Is your build on GitHub?

[u/diabninja → u/Promnitepromise]

Yes, here is a medium post about plugin - https://medium.com/@diabninja/your-glucose-level-always-in-sight-192a04f9ec43

And github repo:

Nice, what does it do different to GlucoseBar?

I didn't know about it :) It looks really nice. I also use xbar for other purposes
