Yes, I was there I thought it was excellent, great venue, and well organised. Learnt a lot, and was very interested in Tim Omer's talk about technology to help people with diabetes. Amazing.
He was brilliant, really seems to know his stuff!

He was one of the first in the UK to start ripping Dexcopm devices apart, following the instructions of a german guy. He's taught himself to code over the last six months and works three or four days a week, with one day a week spent totally focussed on the #wearenotwaiting stuff. I've been trying to work out how to hack the bluetooth PIN on the Roche Combo pump with him. Looks like it needs hardware access....

Wow, I'd assumed he was already doing a similar line of work and realised the potential with his diabetes kit. I'm even more impressed now!

If I can get myself a pump (pleeeease NHS?!) I'll probably change from the libre to dexcom so I can have a go :)

The pumps available on the NHS at the moment don't support the open APS stuff sadly.
