This engine integrates with a Minecraft plugin to provide a Virtual Reality experience of living with Type 1 Diabetes for newly diagnosed children and families to understand the interaction of carbs, insulin, and Blood Glucose Levels; to experience community with others living with the condition; and for their friends and communities to understand what they live with and how to support them.

Project adviser Scott Hanselman is a software developer, Type 1 Diabetic, and activist. In this video Scott describes what it is like to live with Type 1 Diabetes:

If you are a parent of a child diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in Queensland, join the TOPIQ (Type One Parents In Queensland) Facebook group for a supportive community.

This project was initiated as a Landmark Self-Expression and Leadership Program project using the structures and coaching of the program, and is empowered by developers from Magikcraft, with the support of Diabetes Queensland.

Conversion between mg/dl and mmol/L

Hi - I'm a US-based mom of someone with T1d and I love this project!

I wondered if I could work on a patch to include a setting to display either mmol/L or mg/dl for PlayerBGL. I believe the conversion is to simply multiply mmol/L by 18 to get mg/dl and divide to convert back. The interface could be a simple toggle switch in the corner of the page.

Let me know what you think of this enhancement idea.
