Nightscout for Windows

In an era where we seek to keep an ever-increasing flow of productivity in our daily tasks, we tend to forget about our health when we sacrifice time needed for sleep, making healthy meals and socializing in favor of reaching deadlines on work or personal-related projects.

This approach can slowly seep into more pivotal areas of our lives, such as ensuring that your or your relative’s blood sugar levels are optimal if they happen to be suffering from diabetes, which is where Nightscout for Windows comes into play.

While a variety of applications can be found for smartwatch and mobile platforms, those whose workflows rely on the desktop as the primary hub for carrying out tasks may have a harder time keeping track of their glucose trends if the process requires shifting their attention away from the monitor.

As a result, the app at hand places the relevant data in the most accessible spot for avid Windows users – the system tray.

With the instinctive habit of glancing towards the right corner of the screen in order to catch up with any notifications that require one’s attention, users can not only preview the precise glucose value, but also an arrow showcasing the trend of the levels without having to jump through multiple menus or pop-up windows.
