Saving all CGM data in Zukka seems to be ideal or nearly ideal
Earlier I proposed a method to save all CGM data in Zukka. In this method, the full 90-day, minute-by-minute glucose level as well as insulin usage and amount of carbs are saved for future re-examination. This method seems to be ideal for the following reasons:
-
The user has access to Zukka’s data – all of Zukka’s data are located in its folder and accessible by the user.
-
No privacy concern
The data is stored on iPhone, known for protecting users’ privacy.
-
Saved data is backed up to iCloud through the iPhone daily backups.
-
The saved glucose data consumes very little iPhone storage memory: the total size of my saved 90-day files is about 30MB per 90 days, or 120MB per year.
-
All saved data can be moved to a Mac or an external drive. Thus, it should consume very little of the iPhone storage memory.
