[QUOTE="Cobia, post: 2283908, member: 454444"] HI EllieM i hope i can explain how a loop works ok.... As you know there is a delay between intestinal and finger pick supposed to be aroung 10-15 min. Your dexcom gets a reading every 5 min with a loop setup right it calulates how much insulin is required to get to your target glucose... ideally its looking forward say 5 hours being the life of the insulin.... In a nut shell its how all of them work. The diy loop so far works on basle only. On the carbs some days im VLC others 180 grams or so. I look at the time in range to see how im doing. From what ive seen with Androidaps it reduces a lot of guesswork and its working way past i could on MDI. All i know is for me it works good. [/QUOTE]
