What is true about DIA? Topic: Duration of Insulin Action The predetermined minimum is 3 hours. The predetermined minimum is 5 hours. https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Configuration/Config-Builder.html?#insulin It is equal to the DIA parameter used in your pump. You have to determine your individual value (but not less than 5 hours). Topic: Hypo Temp-Target Why is it useful to set a hypo TT? Prevent BG from going low. To prevent SMB enactment after a hypo rise from fast carbs. https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Usage/temptarget.html Which profile can be used and configured offline? Topic: Offline Profile NS Profile can be used, but not configured. https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Configuration/Config-Builder.html#profile Topic: Disconnecting from the Pump What to do when taking the pump off? Let the loop know that there is no insulin being delivered to your body by clicking disconnect pump. Don\'t change anything in loop, just take the pump off. https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Getting-Started/FAQ.html#other-settings Topic: AndroidAPS Settings What are best practices to backup your settings?

Nothing, the loop will deal with it. Pause closed-loop mode to avoid overdosing. Replace the CGM sensor. Turn off the phone. https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Usage/Smoothing-Blood-Glucose-Data-in-xDrip.html#smoothing-blood-glucose-data Check if your CGM app smoothes data. Topic: Exercise How can you help the system deal with exercise? Set an activity temp-target. Do a profile switch below 100%. Do a profile switch above 100%. Stop the loop. Set activity temp-target before the start of exercise. https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Usage/temptarget.html#activity-temp-target Topic: Suspended Loop Do I get insulin when loop is suspended? Yes, the common basal rate. No, delivery of insulin is stopped. Topic: Basal, ISF, and IC Testing When should I validate basals, ISF, and IC values? Before I start looping. When having regular hypos BG\'s. When having regular hypers BG\'s. https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Getting-Started/FAQ.html#androidaps-settings Topic: Prerequisites What do I need? Determined correct profile (Basals, IC, ISF, DIA). A computer to create an APK. A supported phone. A Car. Nightscout to pass the objectives. A Tidepool account. A Google account. A Github account. Need to be an Android developer. A MiniMed 670G pump. https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Module/module.html A Smartwatch. A Supported CGM. Topic: Updating of AndroidAPS What is true? You need to have Git installed. Update as soon as new version is released. You can use the same signing keys. Never update if the system is working well. Ask your friend for the new APK. https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Installing-AndroidAPS/Update-to-new-version.html#update-to-a-new-version-or-branch Topic: Troubleshooting Where to look for help?

Topic: Wrong Carb Entries You see you have entered wrong carbs. What should you do? Go to Treatments, delete wrong carbs and enter new carbs. Add fake insulin by using Refill function Topic: Food with Fat and Protein What to do if your food contains a large amount of fat and\/or proteins? Recalculate fat and proteins to carbs and use \"Extended carbs\" feature. Recalculate fat and proteins to carbs and add it to bolus calculation. Use extended bolus to cover fat and proteins. https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Usage/Extended-Carbs.html Topic: Monitoring Children How can you monitor AAPS of your child remotely? Using a Nightscout site. Dexcom Follow app if you are using the original Dexcom app (BG only). Dexcom Follow if you are using the xDrip app. xDrip running in follower mode. Loop app on iPhone. Spike app on iPhone. https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Children/Children.html Topic: Insulin Sensitivity Factor Increasing ISF number will lead to less insulin delivery if you are trying to lower your BG with the bolus wizard. Decreasing ISF number will lead to less insulin delivery if you are trying to lower your BG with the bolus wizard. Changing ISF has no effect on amount of insulin given by AAPS when trying to correct hyperglycemia. You have to enter ISF in Preferences. Changing the ISF value in your profile is enough to apply the change. https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Getting-Started/FAQ.html#insulin-sensitivity-factor-isf-mmol-l-u-or-mg-dl-u https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Usage/Profiles.html Topic: The IC Value Increasing the IC value will lead to less insulin delivery for the same amount of carbs. Decreasing the IC value will lead to less insulin delivery for the same amount of carbs. Assume you have 0 COB. Changing IC will lead to a different amount of insulin to correct your BG number. IC will be different if you count bread unit as 10g or 12g. IC meaning is: How many bread units are covered by 1U of insulin. https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Getting-Started/FAQ.html#carbohydrate-to-insulin-ratio-cr-g-u Topic: Profile Switching When specifying 90% in profile switch… Basals will be 10% higher. Basals will be 10% lower. IC value will be 10% higher. IC value will be 10% lower. ISF value will be 10% higher. ISF value will be 10% lower. You will get 10% less insulin in total. Target wiil be 10% higher. Target will be 10% lower. Only bottom target will be 10% lower. https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Usage/Profiles.html?highlight=profile%20switch#profile-switch I want to do a profile switch because I had to wake up 1h earlier than usually, so it makes more sense to announce the change by the time shift with a profile switch.
