It depends on time of day for the most part for me. I easily need 3 times as much insulin for the same amount of carbs (and even the exact same food) in the morning than I do in the evening.Hi everyone was woundering whats everyones insulin to carb ratio at moment
Using a Dana-i on a DIY FCL (AndroidAPS - Boost version) so no need to enter carbs. Only time I enter anything is for extended bolus (pizza etc) when I tend to go 50% immediate, and 50% over 4 hours - otherwise the 'weak point' (me) has been take out of the over-bolus loopWhich pump are you using @CheeseSeaker ?
Fully closed loop?What’s FCL?
HiIts DIY and not off the shelf (it will be heading to commercial systems but no idea how long that will take).
Nothing is perfect - but makes life easier - I don't count carbs, just eat and it sorts out the food hitting my BG....but large amounts of carbs will send you above 10mmol (as the CGM takes time to register, and even ultrafast takes time to kick in) so if you've eaten a big meal - and then want 'more' sometimes you have to wait for the loop to start reducing the blood sugar.
There are a few systems out there (I use AAPS and Tim Streets variant of that called Boost) - AAPs is a very advanced DIY HCL, Boost adds functionality to 'boost' the insulin amounts based on the size and rate the BG is rising (also does some nice stuff like monitor step count and reduce basal if you're exercising and a load of other bits too).
It takes a long time to get set up - took me a year or so to learn what I needed for a 'fire-and-forget' solution, but I wouldn't go back as its very reliable and has changed how and what I eat (did you know Orange juice is a food to be enjoyed instead of a hypo treatment? - No me either....)
My TIR is 93% TTIR is 73% - I do need to modify some settings to improve this though - I like to run at 96%+ but with a FCL you have to expect some higher than 10mmol time as its always working in the past (CGM time, insulin action time), but should stay below 12mmol if you have it configured correctly.
What's TTIR?My TIR is 93% TTIR is 73% - I do need to modify some settings to improve this though - I like to run at 96%+ but with a FCL you have to expect some higher than 10mmol time as its always working in the past (CGM time, insulin action time), but should stay below 12mmol if you have it configured correctly.
Time in tight range.What's TTIR?
Its a heck of a lot to try and take on - took me years (literally) to work it all out (and a lot of getting it wrong - still learing).Hi
Is it the cam thing that drip feeds fast acting insulin only with no background?
I don't always follow some posts or explanations being a dope lol

Its all possible but it take a lot of time and study to do. I started as I'd wanted alarms on my watch from the Libre 2 and started looking at how I could do that. Eventually I thought, well if I can do this, why can't I tie up the CGM and the pump and automate it (4 years before the current load of HCL was available on the NHS).It sounds way beyond my tech capabilities to install @CheeseSeeker, plus I’d need to move to android which would be a wrench after years of iOS. I wonder how it’d mesh with a Medtronic HCL when the area NHS lot finally get their act together to give me the training on it.
I think the one generally used is 3.9-7.8 for TTIR (don't know whether thats an medically accepted range but have seen it used in medical questionaries from NHS and drug companies.Time in tight range.
I don't think there's an official cut off for the high end for TTIR (correct me if I'm wrong @CheeseSeaker ).
TIR is based on 4-10 mmol/l, but constantly being in a 7-10 range will give you an hba1c solidly in the diabetic range where usually being between 4 and 8 will not. Both give you a 100% TIR.
