Goals:

This project has three broad sets of goals. The primary goal is to provide new diabetest reporting and management tools based on Nightscout data. I also have some personal learning goals and intend to use this project as a test-bed for some of my ideas regarding open / transparent research methodologies.

Diabetes Reporting and Management
