Some insulin treatments not uploading to nightscout

[jk1993]

Hi,

For the last few months I've been using a NovoPen Echo Plus to record mealtime insulin and this has been syncing to nightscout which is great. However in the last couple of weeks some doses have not been uploading to nightscout. If I look in the event log in xdrip I can see the following error which must be related - "Exception uploading REST API treatments":

If I look in the nightscout docker logs I see this, which I think is related as it looks like it's happening in the "save" function in treatments.js:

Another reason I think it may be related is the thing that seems pretty consistent is that insulin doses under 10 units seem to upload fine, whereas any doses 10 or above seem to get excluded. I'm thinking maybe the value being 10 or above causes the data string being uploaded to nightscout to be too large or use too many characters or something.

Nightscout version: 15.0.2

xDrip version: 2024.11.17

Thanks

Thanks for reporting this.

What could be causing this?

Any chance this could be looked into? I'm currently unable to analyse overall insulin usage as any doses of 10 units and above are missing from nightscout

Do you have the nightscout logs for the entry the failed to save? From a quick glance at the nightscout code, it looks to me that it's more likely it is the value of _id that would be the issue rather than the json payload in insulinInjections

The second screenshot is from the nightscout logs, I couldn't see anything else in there at the time it tried to insert the treatment. I guess that makes sense looking at that uuid since it contains the number of units in it, so anything 10.0 or above would have an extra character compared to anything below, assuming this is what it uses to create the id on save.

The issue is still consistent in that all treatments of less than 10 units are fine and anything above 10 units doesn't upload to nightscout. I'm not sure why it's only started happening recently though. Any help would be greatly appreciated and happy to provide more detailed logs

I've done some digging and had a look through my treatments data in nightscout to see exactly when this stopped working. It seems the treatments over 10 units stopped sending to nightscout on the 23rd November 2024. I had a look through my downloads folder on android to see when I last downloaded a new xdrip version and it looks like I downloaded version 20241117 on the 23rd November exactly. It seemed too much of a coincidence to be unrelated but I've tried installing the previous version and I'm still getting the same issue.

Is it possible to convert this post to an issue? I'd really really like to be able to have my insulin treatments syncing to nightscout again as it was incredibly useful to see the data over time.

Thanks

No please. There is no reason to open an issue.
I just set up a test setup and entered 1 unit of insulin treatment in xDrip and it was uploaded to Nightscout.

Opening an issue does not increase the chance of something being fixed. But, opening too many issues will drown everything in an ocean of issues. That will make it worse for me when I need to see what I need to focus on next.
