Annoncment Heroku is starting to charge for having a Nightscout site free!

** Here is what Heroku has Announced!**


I have also noticed Gluco check has also had bad news too on voice prompts that we all so luve being taken away from us all in June by Google removing a api we need to do this process again! Click Here.

We still have several months before any changes take place. We are looking at options. Please be patient. And it will still be best to setup this process as normal with Heroku!To upgrade at a later time or move to a differrent one.

I have also setup two groups for you to join for helpful advice on issues we face. Xdrip+ Uk and AndroidAPS users UK



Part 1: Setting up the Github for Nightscout

For setting up Nightscout I have used a Dexcom G6 with xdrip as my uploader as well as Android APS, but I will imagine they will also work with other devices and setups too! You do this at your own risk as my instructions are for educational purposes only and you should check with your GP or specialist or Endo, not sure how many more names I need to put here for doctors 😊 as I do not know all the worlds ways they are treated!

If you would like to follow these instructions with video then see below other wise continue step by step below
