Little devices like this are popular amongst some Diabetics for displaying their continuous glucometer data (I built something similar using an eink screen and the Dexcom home assistant integration). It's fun to see what people use these for!

My mom recently found out she has diabetes, and doing something like this for her I think would make life nicer. How did you manage to build something like this?

Thanks for the insight. That's a really awesome use case: near real-time health tracker data.
