Up first @jbwittmer on the DIY revolution in #T1D
CGM is great, but you need more
DIY diabetes is not about wanting to tinker, but needing to have the features #OpenAPS
Remote monitoring of CGM makes life safer and better. Viewing and sharing CGM data that doesn't need a CGM receiver.
DIY is not necessarily "closed loop" artificial pancreas
Some DIY is about cost
#OpenAPS was unique because it was open and shared
Components of a DIY closed loop system
New DIY systems are getting smaller and smaller
A couple of different flavors of DIY artificial pancreas systems
All the systems have the basics
Then all the systems can get different #OpenAPS
OpenAPS in the wild, working on a complicated meal
Forget to bolus for breakfast (this is something we all do sometimes) the DIY systems can try handle it and then it can be back filled with the breakfast carbs info
I can't wait any longer
Sleep and #T1D do not often get along
Oh the time burden of diabetes...
The data and outcomes show that it works
DIY is safe. (Period)
Who ?
Final request from @jbwittmer give DIY a chance
