That's abit OTT stuck in a tree.If your on a pump, what happens if you don't, or can't eat? Does it still inject you with insulin?
What if your stuck in a tree or something!
I will definitely report back and fill you all in x

Yes it releases small amounts of insulin 24 hrs a day

No, only a truly intelligent closed loop system would do that. And we're not there yet!Being on a pump doesn't automate your diabetes management, you remain in charge of the pump and have to tell it what to do.
All it needs is the FDA to approve the faster acting insulins and I think some of the opnaps stuff will allow us to not need to bolus because the algo will recognise what's happening and deal with it!But very close to it
If you need to you can suspend insulin delivery, great for situations where you are stuck in a tree
I prefer to know that if I'm injecting 6 units of humulog I'm actually getting those 6 units.

The way the 640 suspends is based on a predictive model.This will only work with some degree of success, if bg is above target as it will take about 1.5hrs to take effect and stop bg from dropping. If bg is at target, then any IOB still at work, will make bg drop even if pump is turned off.
Always best to carry some sort of snack food as pumps are not magic
