To integrate a new continuous glucose monitor data source, you need to automate database schema changes, create an API service class, and implement data synchronization. This process handles external glucose provider connections and credential storage for the T1D Companion.

Adding support for CGM providers like Dexcom or Nightscout requires configuring database models for connection credentials and generating an API service class to interact with the external CGM APIs for data retrieval and synchronization.

Yes, Python automation handles database schema changes by automatically adding new fields to the user database model to store CGM connection credentials and status when onboarding new continuous glucose monitor providers.

You can sync continuous glucose monitor data and prevent duplicates by implementing data synchronization logic from external sources to the database. This includes built-in deduplication to ensure records remain unique during the sync process.

Creating an API service class for CGM data integration requires knowledge of CGM APIs, database schema design, and Python automation to properly configure the interaction between external glucose providers and the database.
