CGM in the cloud from a parents perspective.

I am a member of the CGM in the Cloud Facebook Group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/cgminthecloud/ which has nearly 8,500 members right now) and day after day I read the incredible stories of how the Nightscout project has helped thousands of parents of children with type 1 Diabetes.  Some of their stories bring tears to my eyes even though I can only imagine how much something like this it just a giant help to them and keeping their childs blood sugar from crashing and not knowing about it and just how much it helps when their child is away at school or anywhere away from home.  It is not yet FDA approved but as the hash tag says it all #WeAreNotWaiting it has been proven time and time again to be a priceless tool for many parents and even could be used for adults who have lost the ability to sense their lows or who have to sleep alone at night. 

Laurie Schwartz is a mother of a type 1 Diabetic son and on day one of using the CGM in the cloud set up believes it saved her son from a very close call.

CGM in the Cloud, sharing Kerri's blog post

I dont know if I was vacationing on Mars or what the heck but I did not know that some very intelligent people had figured out a way to send Dexcom data to the cloud and make it viewable to someone else with internet access.  Seriously I am not sure why I didn't know this.  I just joined the Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/cgminthecloud/ So I have not yet checked things out. 

Here is Kerri's blog post: http://sixuntilme.com/wp/2014/07/10/cgm-cloud-part/

If you are Diabetic or the parent, grandparent, spouse of a person with Diabetes and they are on the Dexcom G4 this is most definitely worth reading, I would call it a must read.
