This plugin adds a simple widget displaying blood glucose values fetched from a configurable Nightscout host.
Plugin

| ID | nuddel69/nightscout-monitor |
| Entries | Bar widgets: monitor; service: ticker; |
Requirements
A nightscout server host and an access token with read capabilities.
Usage
Add a host URL and access token in the plugin settings. Add the monitor
widget from the Add-widget picker. The widget displays the glucose value
fetched from nightscout. This is fetched at configurable intervals. You may
also force a fetch by clicking the widget.
The plugin sends an HTTP request to the api/v1 endpoint of your nightscout
instance. This is repeated for each fetch.
