Hi Scott! As a fellow type 1 diabetic and tech enthusiast I've enjoyed following your posts on diabetes-related tech for some time now.

I'm curious about how you manage all of your data. I use Nightscout to store CGM data (which I think is fantastic), but on my Android phone I use a separate app to store the carb amounts for food that I eat, which doesn't talk to Nightscout. And, I have a tandem pump which doesn't talk to either of those apps, which I have to manually plug into my computer to upload into their isolated cloud solution. It irks me that I can't just have one datastore that saves all of this together! Are you in a similar boat as me, or have you found a good way to merge these different datastores together?

I use an iPhone which has Apple's Health solution. Their health system is integrated into the phone and every app writes to it. So any food database app writes to it and all can see it. I use LoopKit which sends the food details up to Nightscout as well. I realize you're team android, but... ;)
