🦈The Story Behind Open-D

I Built Open-D Because I Needed It

Peter, Founder of Open-D

Peter

Type 1 Diabetic since 1991

35 years living with T1D. I've tried every app, every tracker, every "diabetes management solution" out there. Pumps, Dexcom, doctors, diets, even spiritual sessions. I got hospitalized to get back under control. Work life came back, and sugar went out of control again.

I DON'T WANT TO LOSE MY EYES. MY LEGS. MY LIFE.

So I built this. Now help me help us diabetics.

The Breaking Point

My time in range was 28%. None of the tech helped me live better β€” they just made me a data entry clerk. Log glucose, see chart, guess the rest.

Every night I went to bed wondering if I'd wake up. Every morning wondering which complication would hit first.

The Results

28%
Time in Range (Before)
Chaotic, unpredictable
47%
Time in Range (Now)
And improving

Dawn Phenomenon: Visual Proof

Before β€” Chaotic mornings, unpredictable spikes

Dawn phenomenon before - chaotic glucose patterns

90 days average β€” Note the wild morning spikes

After β€” Mornings under control

Dawn phenomenon after - controlled glucose patterns

After starting with Open-D β€” Smoother morning curve

What Changed?

1

Dawn Phenomenon Solved

My agent spotted my dawn phenomenon pattern with minimal data β€” something I'd been trying to fix for years. Mornings are now under control.

2

Predictive Alerts

Instead of reacting to highs and lows, I started getting warnings before they happened.

3

Active Effects β€” No More Overstacking

I can see insulin on board, carbs absorbing, workout impact β€” all in one view. No more guessing. No more stacking insulin and crashing. I'm adding new pattern detectors daily that help me spot trends even faster.

4

Emergency Contact β€” Never Alone

If I pass out, Open-D contacts my emergency contact automatically. Not like that time at -10 degrees in the middle of nowhere β€” waking up in a hospital. Thank God I survived that. Now someone always has my back.
