I wish! But they are wary of the FDA who wouldn't approve of them distributing this.This is actually really interesting stuff! Thanks for sharing! I think their approach goes one step further than what I intend to do, but it looks really promising! Do you know if they plan to build an app based on this knowledge? They should!
Scott Leibrand & Dana Lewis of OpenAPS have already "closed the loop" and are controlling a Medtronic pump with great success.I have decided I am buying myself an android phone for this stuff. It's something that I can't do on my iPhone... It can be my "Diabetes phone". Wouldn't it be great if we could make it speak bluetooth to a pump so we could use it as a pump controller...?

Some experimental branches of NightScout use bits of the DIYPS code.
Don't claim to understand but it sounds good! A system that "learns"?However, if I understand it correctly they are building a purely reactive system. In control engineering you would call his a pure feedback system. What I would like to achieve with spoton is to create a model (multiple input, single output system) of the BG level in order to add a feed forward component. I think the two approaches are complementary and not competing.
They do seem to be working along those lines. I've been looking at some of the conversations on Github@DunePlodder: Yes, that's essentially the idea. Instead of simply reacting to a currently high or low BG value, you anticipate the needed insulin/carbs to keep the BG on the desired level.
I can't seem to find it. When was that discussion you are refering to? Or can you copy the text here?They do seem to be working along those lines. I've been looking at some of the conversations on Github

I don't think you need to have a predicatble schedule in order to predict the required bolus. I do think that you need to know the effect of all the variables which determine your BG (carbs, sport, stress, base need, insulin [and many more]). Then you would just need to tell the algorithm what you are planning to do in terms of these variables and you could predict the BG value.It's interesting, but introduces something into the mix which is totally out there. The idea of a predictive bolus. Whilst that's all very nice, it does require that you have a reasonably predictable schedule. That's not a reason to discount it, but I'm not sure how useful I personally would find that!
Sorry, it's just something that's cropped up there over the last month or so I've been looking at it. It wasn't a specific thread. Try searching for "bolus" in the box top right.I can't seem to find it. When was that discussion you are refering to? Or can you copy the text here?
But therein lies the point - you are saying predict (plan) what you are going to do in order to predict how much insulin to give. Even the body has only limited mastery of that, e.g. activation of the saliva glands leading to increase in stomach acid, potential insulin release, etc.I don't think you need to have a predicatble schedule in order to predict the required bolus.
