decide whether to store historical glucose values

[awaxa]

cases for anonymized data:

• calculate averages #5 calculating averages

cases that anonymized data precludes:

• reimplement the lastbgs command from reddit-diabetes/diabot-plugins

Please suggest other uses for the data!

I think the lastbgs command helped users relate about having a bad day with their readings, but the downsides or code complexity involved may outweigh the small benefit:

• users will want to amend records they mistype
• some will want not want to have their data stored
• we had to manually drop some records from the old sqlite db after a user threw a tantrum to the freenode admins

@cascer1 @awaxa bumping this for comments. I think if we do this we make it ephemeral and only store it in redis. Also it seems like a lot of work for very little payoff, although since the Discord is pretty popular now maybe they would want this?

I had forgotten all about this note!

Diabot's redis store is not perfectly ephemeral, and unfortunately it won't start without it. I flushed a couple thousand username to uuid mappings out of it today.

I think I remember users asking for logs from the supybot plugin and expecting more than a sql dump.

@dosman711 I agree with you about work/payoff, and I worry that we could easily spend more time supporting the feature than we should.
