Device-specific? (Add any device-specific notes/additions here.)
We are including the following in the payload for Dexcom time changes:
- original system seconds (raw internal timestamp), used as the BtUTC index
- raw old display offset
- raw new display offset

No Tidepool data model (yet): volume and/or vibrate mode of all alerts (can/should go in payload).
Device-specific? (Add any device-specific notes/additions here.)
We are including the following in the payload for Dexcom settings:
- language
- alarm profile name (e.g., "Attentive," "Hypo Repeat," etc.)
- internal timestamp
User Events
- `[x]` activity/exercise
- `[x]` food (e.g., Dexcom allows logging carb events)
- `[x]` notes/other events
