The Quantified Dog

My dog has diabetes, and today he was fitted with a Libre sensor. I am supposed to scan it a few times a day and it will send glucose levels to a company from which the vet will download them.

Can’t wait to see how this connection gets sold/hacked/distributed and what it does to the digital version of me that systems perceive.

Also if the phone and sensor are too far apart for more than X number of minutes, the phone freaks out. Which is basically the same reaction I have to being away from the dog so that feels significant.

A screenshot of discord where a user named Brian writes: "the dog's glucose monitor keeps disconnecting from my phone

gotta de-airgap my dog"

and someone replying with an image that says "you wouldn't de-airgap a dog" in the "Your wouldn't download a car" meme format
