Dexcom - could we add the timestamp to the integration

Third party integrations

We have the value and the trend. I’m interested in knowing how current the reported value is.

The Dexcom itself is on a 5-minute clock, but the precise firing time is known only to the transmitter. Then it takes a few seconds to drunk-walk around the cloud before my follower sees it.

Thus if I trigger my poll every 5m at say 23:01:24 and the data doesn’t show up until 23:01:27, I get five-minute old data. Instead to current TOD I want to be able to show the timestamp on my Pi OLED display.

I don’t use dexcom, but that made me laugh.

A nightscout user here. Can’t stand the dexcom stuff. My G6 sends to xdrip+. Xdrip to nightscout.

OK, I found the “API” such that I could find documentation

So now the question is how do I add other items (trend, trend_description, and time) to the integration?
