Reminds me a lot like tuning. You can calibrate the sensor just like you would with an o2 sensor. And gotta calculate what’s in the food you’re eating so you can calculate how much insulin to take. But then there’s offsets to that, so time of day, if your sunburnt or injured, stressed all kinds of stuff will change those calculations. Then you’ve got really expensive and bulky bumps that can operate in closed loop via the sensor feedback ect. So pretty much get to data log everything and see what does what ect. would be nice if I could get a motec up and running on me though

Type1 there is no control over it. Can get a bulky pump that operates in closed loop though, hence the joke lol.
OK, that makes more sense.
I think here in NZ certain people can get those pumps subsidised.
Yeah I think it’s the same here in oz. But to be honest I don’t think it’s all that accurate. I’ve been a bit lazy over Xmas and eating things I probably shouldn’t . But for the most part I think I’ve got a pretty good handle on running in open loop lol.
Ours is not for insulin though. I think its worth the investment for the quality of life improvement. But its all unknown at the moment what the improvement will be.
There is a hacking scene implementing closed loop, serious! And they even call it that. https://www.drugtopics.com/view/hacking ... re-to-stay
I don't think i'd do that though. And I am not recommending it. Certainly interesting to read about it though.
I questioned them about the pumps and could see there not that accurate. Those pumps are relying on sensors that ain’t accurate to begin with. Most accurate way is the good ol finger prick.
