I’m sure the Dexcom developers are good people. And just look at their stock price — things are going well for them since they released the G6, which, well, actually works most of the time!
Their software is still doing trivial things badly and they deserve to feel ashamed and embarrassed that Nightscout could relay an integer value over the Internet to a smartphone years sooner than they could.
I’m very thankful for Dexcom. They’ve done great things for T1D management. They could do much, much better. They are only scratching the surface of what a CGM system should do, never mind a closed-loop system of which they will be an integral part, and dare I say, should be in the drivers seat to a dumb-pump following their orders.
