I'm glad this is useful to someone! 2 + 3 +I setup my own nightscout server on a Raspberry Pi because my wife and I would go on hikes and sometimes there was no good cellular connectivity. We both monitor her BGs on both of our Fitbit watches using watchfaces which I wrote (and made freely available, search for "cgm" to find quite a few good choices), but most such solutions require a Nightscout server to contact for the data. 4 + 5 +If you run your own server at home, you probably can't contact your home Nightscout server when outside of the house. (Most ISPs don't allow running a web server on a "residential" connection.) Your best bet is to use "heroku.com", where you can setup a Nightscout server for free (since it uses very little resources) and you can have it use a Mongodb database at "mondodb.com" for free also. There are many step-by-step instruction pages online. 6 + 7 +We have used a MiaoMiao a lot in the past and it worked fine. We finally moved to Dexcom, however, because it didn't require two pieces of hardwae and software in order to the same job and it works with "Loop" on iphone directly. We then have Loop upload the data to Nightscout. 8 + 9 +Good luck and let me know if I can help! Also, you might want to join the "CGM in the Cloud" group on Facebook. - Date
