Add a "Bolus Mode" configurable pill to Nightscout

Feature Request: Add Loop reporting for Bolus Mode and add an optional pill for display in Nightscout

Currently, Nightscout shows Loop bolus amounts and other data but does not indicate whether Loop is operating in Manual Bolus or Automatic Bolus mode. Knowing the bolus mode is helpful in understanding why Loop may limit bolus amounts (e.g., 40% max auto bolus) or whether caregiver manual boluses are necessary.

Details

Add a new status field to Loop’s status upload payload for bolus mode (auto or manual) and display this as a new optional pill labeled BOLUS MODE in Nightscout’s top status bar. This will give caregivers and clinicians immediate remote visibility into whether Loop is delivering insulin via automatic bolus or manual bolus, helping explain insulin dosing behavior and improve management decisions.

What defines if the loop is operating in manual or automatic bolus mode?
Isn't that a setting in AAPS or whatever app that controls the pump?

[Navid200]

So, shouldn't the same app that has this setting (AAPS or loop) upload the setting to Nightscout?
Why would xDrip be the right app for doing that?

[Navid200]

Or, did you post this by mistake in xDrip discussions instead of AAPS?

[krsummersBA]

I guess it has to be done in both places - the AAPS/loop have to be modified to report the data and xDrip/Nightscout has to display it.

[Navid200]

So, I guess the first step is to add this to Nightscout, right?

Yes - this feature request should be in cgm-remote-monitor for Nightscout, not in xDrip.
Thank you
