Happy Bob is a personal digital health companion aimed at helping you improve your diabetes management. With Bob by your side, you can reduce the stress that comes with diabetes data overload while still achieving better glycemic control. As a secondary CGM display, Happy Bob delivers your glucose values alongside messages from one of our many characters. This personalized delivery model allows you to feel more like a person than a patient, as this app is far from the everyday medical device format.

“Diabetes exacts a huge mental toll and our app is designed to alleviate the data overload involved with daily care and glycemic control. Happy Bob is here to make your day better, and this partnership with Dexcom makes Happy Bob better able to do that.”

Important Notice for Nightscout Users:
Heroku's Upcoming Changes

‌

By now, you know that Heroku is shutting down its free service level that many of us use for Nightscout hosting. Heroku has graciously allowed NS to thrive in their environment for YEARS, essentially supporting this community to the value of millions of dollars.

You can read their full posting by clicking the Heroku link below.  

Users will have until November 28 to decide how they want to proceed.  We will update you as more options become available, but for now, your options are:

1. Azure (free),
2. Railway app (most likely free),
3. Pay for hosting at Heroku, (around $7 per month),
4. Migrate to another hosting service such as Digital Ocean (around $5 per month),
5. Subscribe to T1Pal,  or
6. Subscribe to ns10.be 

Both of the subscription services listed in #5 and #6 above support Remote Overrides for Loop-master users.  If Loop Dev's Remote Carbs and Remote Bolus features are important to you, please contact the service provider to confirm that it meets your needs before switching. And the #WeAreNotWaiting family is still evaluating options; to be added to the Nightscout Documentation later.

All NS users need a plan for November 28.  Our current recommendation is to sit tight until November 1 to see what options become available.  Will the LnL Team wait until November 27 to make a decision?  No, we will not.  By mid-November, every member of the team will be using the option that best meets their needs.  And you should too.
