Type 1 Looping ,

Basically to Loop you need a hackable pump, a CGM, an app on your phone and a gadget to talk to your pump.

For example, I personally use Omnipod, a Freestyle Libre+MiaoMiao, iPhone 8+ and a RileyLink on the hardware front. As I’m iPhone based, I also needed an Apple developer account and a Mac (I have a 2010 MacBook Pro, so pretty old), as you need to be able to build the app yourself. I also have a Fitbit Ionic watch so I can see my levels and what Loop is doing at a glance. You don’t need the fastest, most expensive equipment, I’m doing it on a very tight student budget.

There are different setups available for Android phones, I believe @tim2000s is the person to tag here!
@LooperCat I am running Iphone 8, MM, Libre and spike for my 13 yr old daughter and have held off on looping as i didn't think it supported MM / Libre. Really interested to hear how you got started and where i can look to build my know how. The lack of sleep is killing us all..... Thanks Rob
