Love this! Thank you for sharing! My backend is also in Go so this is a godsend. Will see how I can incorporate and let you know if I do!

> not having sanctioned access to real-time blood sugar values (the APIs are all one hour behind)

Ah, I didn't know this. One of the prospective tools I had in mind was real time alerting in case of drastic drops eg ping doctor or relative. I think will have to be limited to the apps/tools that do support realtime.

Technically there is unsanctioned access (someone reverse engineered the real-time APIs [1] which I ported to Go). I think the FDA does not want easy access to real-time values so that folks can't easily recommend insulin dosing without oversight. I am personally of the opinion that it is our right to have programmatic access to the real-time data and do with it what we please.

Would love to get in touch to hear more about your long-term vision for the project!

Is there genuinely a consideration here beyond not allowing activity without paying money to the hegemony?
