# Collect your data and get prepared

Before getting started, we ask that you store at least 30 days of CGM data. Nightscout is an excellent tool to capture your CGM history, as well as log your carbs and boluses. For instructions on setting up your own Nightscout site (or updating your existing one for OpenAPS use), see [here](./nightscout-setup.html). By logging and collecting a recent history of your insulin+BG patterns, you can also take advantage of the Autotune feature which uses Nightscout databases.

If you aren't using Nightscout, you can upload your Dexcom G4 receiver to Dexcom Studio or if you use Dexcom G5 the data is in the cloud at Dexcom Clarity. If you use a Medtronic CGM, upload your CGM data to CareLink. If you use an Animas Vibe, upload your data to Tidepool or Diasend. We suggest you get in the habit of doing this regularly so that you have ongoing data to show trends in your overall estimated average glucose (eAG, a good indicator in trends in A1c) and variations in your "time in range."

Later in these docs is a link to donate your data to a project called [OpenHumans](../Give%20Back-Pay%20It%20Forward/data-commons-data-donation.html). There is no requirement to share your data or participate in OpenHumans. If you choose to, you can donate your data whether you are looping or not. Individuals within the project who share their data do so willingly and you should do the same only if you feel comfortable. That being said, it is always a good idea to record your data before embarking on a new set of experiments. This will be helpful to understand the effects of the system as well as gain a better understanding of your response to different control strategies.
