Nightscout is a non-commercial Do-It-Yourself (DIY) system, developed in 2014 by the parents of children with type 1 diabetes. In Poland it has been available and supported since 2016. The Nightscout system is not an officially registered solution and patients use it at their own responsibility. The idea of the project is to give authorized users online access to data on continuous glucose monitoring in interstitial fluid. Data are stored on external servers. Glucose data can be read on any number of devices with access to the Internet.

This article describes the Nightscout system – required components, operating costs, and other usage options. It also presents the current evaluation of the Nightscout system in scientific publications.
