I've been wearing one for 6 years straight and wrote a post back in 2018 when I first got one. As someone who lives with Type 1 diabetes its been one of the absolute biggest game changers for my health

I also started a company focused on CGMs which was too early and didn't work. Maybe its time to try again? :)

*if it wasn't for cheap natural gas

Heat pumps are really amazing and can be used both for cooling and heating with the same hardware. If it wasn't for natural gas they would make sense for many American homes

Diabetes technology is becoming pretty cool :) I have a Dexcom G6 CGM on my arm that sends blood glucose measurements to my phone every 5 minutes. It then sends it to Dexcom's cloud service which I poll using an open source project called Nightscout which I have deployed on Heroku.

Naming a learning platform "Sugar" is like naming a rehab clinic "Heroin"

The big innovation here is actually the CGM sensor. Having a sensor on your body that passively gives you information about how your body reacts to food, exercise and medication is amazing. I wrote a post last year on how it TOTALLY changed my life: https://medium.com/south-park-commons/the-wearable-that-chan...

Steady Health | Software Engineer & Product Designer | San Francisco, CA | Full-time | Onsite
Managing your diabetes well can be the difference between a long, healthy life and heart attack, cardiovascular disease, amputations, and blindness. Today, diabetes care is based on guidelines that are the same for everyone, regardless of motivation, lifestyle and other individual factors.
Steady Health (https://steady.health) is changing diabetes care by leveraging a new technology and dataset, continuous glucose monitors. These sensors let patients track their levels throughout the day without pricking their fingers with complex equipment. We’re building an entirely new clinic experience that use data analysis to help patients understand how diet, physical activity, and medication is impacting their blood sugar levels.
I’m an experienced founder who previously sold a company to Dropbox. My co-founder is an MD who specializes in internal medicine. I’ve also been diabetic for 18 years so between us we know both the patient, and care side, really well.
We're looking for passionate people with a low ego and a drive to learn. Our first clinic will be in San Francisco and we are currently building out our founding engineering and care teams. The company is backed by top funds and angels including former Dropbox CTO, FBs first female engineer and Head of Data Science at Airbnb.
Come and change an important piece of health care with us, email me at [email protected] and read my story https://medium.com/south-park-commons/the-wearable-that-chan...
