If you use Cursor IDE and live with T1D, you can now monitor your CGM data in your status bar
I recently discovered the Open VSX Registry (the open-source extension marketplace used by editors like Cursor), and I wanted to share something that might help fellow developers living with Type 1 diabetes.
I’ve now registered all three of my glucose monitoring extensions there:
- Dexcom CGM Status Bar – for Dexcom users
- LibreLinkUp Status Bar – for FreeStyle Libre / LibreLinkUp users
- Nightscout Status Bar – for Nightscout users
If you’re using Cursor IDE, you can now install them directly from Open VSX and monitor your glucose levels right in your status bar while coding.
As a T1D developer myself, I built these because context switching (phone → CGM app → back to IDE) was breaking my flow. If you are or know any software engineers living with diabetes, this tool might be helpful with diabetes management.
This is completely free and open source.
