alt Hacker NewsReally nice of you to share this, well done!
About the risks, managing type 1 diabetes is exhausting, and most people will still sanitycheck the output alongside the hundreds of treatment decisions they make every day. That doesn’t change the fact that tools like this can nudge you to notice and look into patterns or things that needs attention.
Tools like this can also display false low glucose figures, leading you to reduce your slow-acting insulin and skipping fast-acting insulin. A day later, you start feeling nauseous (ketoacidosis), and you’re in danger of death.
I’ll keep using the manual glucose meters (like you advised), and would personally stay the fuck away from any transformer-based LLM to report medical data.
