Practical tools for people living with Type 1 diabetes: clearer supply costs and a better view of your own glucose history.
What you can use today
Supply prices brings together dated retailer listings, package details, and manufacturer savings resources. Cash prices, conditional offers, and quote-only products are clearly separated.
My glucose lets you import a CSV or explore a labeled sample. Review daily curves, overlays, hourly patterns, ranges, rates of change, and excursions. Similar Days looks for earlier stretches of your own history with a similar glucose level pattern.
How the glucose charts are calculated
Read the glucose analysis methodology for CSV validation, missing-data rules, covered time in range, variability, rates of change, and worked examples. This documents the current My glucose implementation and its limits.
What a similar curve can—and can’t—tell you
The current comparison matches the preceding hour of glucose readings. It does not yet use meal logs, insulin delivery, or personalized insulin activity. Later readings can be revealed to review what happened next; they do not select the match. A similar past curve is not a reliable prediction of your next reading.
We’re exploring comparisons that also consider direction and speed of change, insulin activity, food evidence, time of day, and data quality. Descriptive event names and sensitivity-factor research are proposed features, not validated capabilities.
Missing logs mean unknown. A rise does not confirm a meal, and a fall does not measure a particular dose. Observations, user reports, and inferred causes should remain distinct.
Your glucose file stays in the browser tab
The CSV import and comparison tools process readings in your browser. They do not upload the file or save it as a permanent record. Refreshing or leaving the page clears the imported data; the two tools currently have separate imports.
These tools do not require an account. Website hosting providers may process ordinary request information to deliver and protect the site. External retailer and manufacturer links open services with their own privacy policies.
Permanent logging, cloud synchronization, and a native iPhone app are not available here. A separate interactive logging design has been tested with fictional entries. Personal health records are not part of the public site.
Prices with a source
Every directory listing has a source and review date. Recorded prices are snapshots, not guaranteed checkout totals. Shipping, taxes, stock, insurance, and program eligibility can change the amount you pay. The directory is a selected starting set, not every product or every seller. Read the price methodology.
Why we’re doing this
Live Your T1D began with lived experience of Type 1 diabetes and the work it adds to everyday life. The focus is on useful information people can act on when reviewing their records or comparing supply costs, without promising clinical outcomes we haven’t demonstrated.
The analytical tools are exploratory and do not provide dosing instructions.
