[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1364556, member: 30007"] I'd suggest that if you stick to the diet you'll get the same levels. There's a fair bit of research that shows that closed loops don't improve on levels and I'd agree with that. What they do do is make life easier. Over the run in to Christmas I ate terribly but still managed an A1C of 5.9%. The loop always brings you back to target. The main thing is that when I'm eating properly (I.e. Not carb fest...) I really don't have to spend much time trying to get an average level in the low fives. That's the real benefit. It just does a lot of the work correcting outliers for you. The main benefit from open source looping solutions in this context is that you control the targets. The commercial products are more constrained in that particular way. For most, though, that will be good enough, especially with the amount of time you don't have to spend getting there. [/QUOTE]
