May I suggest you look at this project that combines the Dexcom with your pump along with software. It is not a simple turn it on and automatically everything is perfect, however it is by far the best option right now for type 1 diabetics if you are willing to put in the effort to set it all up - which from all the testing and finger sticks indicates you are.

The motivations are different, but I think wikipeida is an interesting example where editing / moderation does (mostly) work. Again, I can't see how that could ever work on twitter, but wikipedia is the only large-user-base example of "social media" that isn't horrible.

They are fun / nice-colors to use, but be aware that your writing can disappear over time.
A friend has journals a few years old and on the right 2/3rds of the pages the writing is nearly gone (theory being maybe that side got warmer, but not certain)

There's also two "open source" systems
- https://loopkit.github.io/loopdocs/
- https://openaps.org/
Tidepool is also trying to take the loop project and get a version of it FDA approved.
Both of the open source projects require you to do the work and actively take control of your setup (a cgm plus pump plus phone). They have really nice support communities. I would never go back to not using Loop.

Has Microsoft publicly made it clear that the true reason for the tpm requirement is all about shepherding all users into the windows App Store? As in users might be allowed to install non App Store programs for a while, but the operating system will give complaint/hassle dealings and require the user to go through several extra steps (aka macis).
Some future windows releases will likely be licked to only allow Microsoft App Store-signed apps.
