Dan reportedly died suffering diabetes - which might remind everyone here whose convivial, collegial and cordial with their comrades - even ones they disagree with now and then - OG c-punk, Jim Bell is pre-diabetic. Lay off the fast-food, JB. You're only our revolutionary anarchist leader for life.

Lay off the fast-food, JB. You're only our revolutionary anarchist leader for life. No, sadly, at this point I am fully Type-2 diabetic. For a few weeks, I have been using the Freestyle Libre Continuous Glucose Monitoring system. https://www.freestyle.abbott/us-en/products/freestyle-libre-2.html It gives me far more information about my glucose level than before. I use two types of insulin, long-acting and short-acting insulin.

For others,
I was excited readin this product name, but the product does not appear to be actual libre hardware or software at all (no source links), but rather just a product name.

For better or worse, most medical hardware like this isn't. I hope I never need one of the things, but I'd like an option that has less tedious and odious options than an Android (or, blech, iOS) app blob. I already have to deal with enough proprietary apps as it is. -- Shawn K. Quinn <skquinn@rushpost.com>

I imagine any free hacker with a personal medical device would be reverse engineering it to get under the hood and customise it, like people do with their vehicles. The one time I went to defcon they had a workshop on medical device hacking, although I didn't make that workshop. (re my old defcon trip, the radio stuff I glimpsed was really great. cryptography workshop was very basic but ended with a real live keysigning party. the talk about exploits where everybody was supposed to disable their phones had people with phones out recording it. there was other stuff supporting important norms. somewhat expensive, free community gatherings likely more important, suspect the big ones are outside the usa.)
