A small app that shows you your glucose value in the taskbar by using NightScout.

Demo

Installation

• Install Python 3.10 (Make sure that Python is in your path)
• Unpack the downloaded zip file

Configure config.json with the NWI-Configurator (recommended):

• Run main.pyw once with administrative permissions (All necessary libraries are installed automatically, the second time the admin rights are no longer required.)
• The NWI-Configurator will ask you for the necessary information.
• It will look like this by default:
  
• Paste your Nightscout URL into the "Nightscout URL" field. Make sure that the URL starts with "http://" or "https://".
• Paste your Nightscout API-Token with the appropiate permissions into the "Nightscout API-Token" field.
• Change the interval in minutes, at which value is queried on nightscout at "Refresh Rate" (Default is 2 minutes).
• Click the checkbox "Show direction?", as you want to see the direction of the glucose value (as shown in the demo).

Configure config.json manually (click to expand):

How it looks like by default

{
  "nightscout_url": "",
  "api_token": "",
  "with_direction": true,
  "refresh_rate": 2
}

Key	Value	Description
nightscout_url	str	Required. Your Nightscout URL. (Must start with https:// or http://)
api_token	str	Required. Your API key with the appropriate permissions.
with_direction	bool	Required. If false, it won't show in the icon the direction your glucose reading is moving (as shown in the demo), if true, then it will
refresh_rate	float	Required. Interval in minutes at which your value is queried on nightscout.

Last step

• Run main.pyw again but now without administrative permissions.
• It is finished and now ready to use. You can now see your glucose value in the taskbar.

Features

• If you want to run NWI by startup, run the file named _Add to startup.bat
• If you want no more that NWI runs by startup, run the file named _Remove from startup.bat
