What is true about DIA? Topic 3: Duration of Insulin Action (DIA) You should set the value for DIA in your profile. The minimum allowed value is 5 hours. https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Configuration/Config-Builder.html?#insulin If you are satisfied that the value for DIA that you used in your pump prior to AndroidAPS worked well, there is no need to change this when you start looping.. You should determine for yourself the appropriate value for DIA. Topic 6: Hypo Temp-Target What is primary reason to set a hypo temp target? To prevent BG from going low if there is already zero temp running. To prevent AndroidAPS from overcorrecting for a blood glucose rise caused by the fast acting carbs used to treat a hypo. To correct for a hypo induced as a result of exercise. To prevent blood glucose from going low of there is already a 0% temporary basal rate running. 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 should be done when disconnecting the pump? Click ‘Disconnect pump’ so that AAPS knows that no insulin is being delivered. Click ‘Suspend loop’ so that AAPS stops looping while the pump is disconnected. Don’t change anything in AAPS, just disconnect the pump. https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Getting-Started/FAQ.html#other-settings Topic: AndroidAPS Settings What are best practices to backup your settings? Locally export them from Maintenance menu. Store exported file to another place like email, Dropbox, Google drive… Export them right after installation of AAPS. Export them after making setting changes. Export them after completing an objective. Export them when you finish initial settings. https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Usage/ExportImportSettings.html https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Getting-Started/FAQ.html#what-emergency-equipment-is-recommended-to-take-with-me Topic: Noisy CGM Readings What should be done if CGM data is noisy? Nothing, AAPS will deal with it. Disable the loop 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 Verify that your CGM app smoothes BG data. Topic 8: Exercise and Profiles. How can you use profiles to best help the system deal with aerobic exercise? Do a profile switch to more than 100%. Do a profile switch to less than 100%.  Leave the profile set to 100%. Suspend the loop. https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Usage/temptarget.html#activity-temp-target Topic 9: Exercise and Temporary Targets. How can you use temporary targets to best help the system deal with aerobic exercise? Set an activity blood glucose target starting a suitable time before beginning exercise. Set an activity blood glucose target after finishing exercise. Leave your blood glucose target unchanged. Wait until blood glucose drops below your hypo temp target and then eat 15 g of fast acting carbohydrates. https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Usage/temptarget.html#activity-temp-target Topic: Disabled/Suspended loop Do I receive insulin when the loop is disabled/suspended? Yes, basal insulin continues to be delivered. No, delivery of insulin is stopped. Topic 2: Basal, ISF, and IC Testing When should these values be validated? Before starting looping. When experiencing frequent high or low blood glucose. At least once per week. Once set and validated, these values should not change over time. https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Getting-Started/FAQ.html#androidaps-settings Topic: Prerequisites What is essential to set up and use AndroidAPS? Validated profile information (Basal, IC, ISF, DIA). A computer with Android Studio installed and configured. A supported phone. A compatible insulin pump if you are planning to run a closed loop. Nightscout, to keep a log of all data and review settings. A Tidepool account. A Google account. A Github account. Experience in programming or editing code.

Validated information to set up a profile (ISF, I:C ratio, basal rates, DIA etc.). A compatible Android device (e.g. mobile/cell phone, full Android watch, or tablet). AndroidAPS requires an internet connection in order to run in closed loop. A Supported CGM and appropriate app to receive blood glucose values on the phone/device. https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Module/module.html Topic: Updating AndroidAPS What is true? You need to have Git installed. Update as soon as new version is released and having enough time to do it. You should 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: Carb Entry Errors What should you do if you’ve made an incorrect carb entry? In Treatments, delete the incorrect carb entry. 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: Remote Monitoring 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 4: Insulin Sensitivity Factor (ISF) Raising ISF values will lead to more insulin delivery to cover a specific amount of carbs. Reducing ISF values lead to more insulin delivery to correct for an above target blood glucose. Raising or lowering ISF values will not affect the insulin delivery when AndroidAPS corrects for a below-target blood glucose. ISF should be entered in your AndroidAPS 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 5: The Insulin to Carbohydrate (I:C) Ratio When COB is zero, raising I:C ratio will lead to more insulin being delivered to correct an above target blood glucose value. Lowering the numerical value of the I:C ratio (so that the value of I:C is smaller) will lead to more insulin being delivered for a specific amount of carbs.  You can use more than one value for I:C ratio in your profile. If you change your ISF in your profile you should always change your I:C ratio too. https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Getting-Started/FAQ.html#carbohydrate-to-insulin-ratio-cr-g-u Topic 7: 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 around 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 If you get up 2 hours earlier than usual, how should you notify AndroidAPS of the change in your schedule? Initiate a profile switch with a timeshift of 1 Initiate a profile switch with a timeshift of -1 https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Usage/Profiles.html?highlight=profile%20switch#timeshift Set an eating soon temporary target. Do a profile switch to more than 100%.  https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Module/module.html#good-individual-dosage-algorithm-for-your-diabetes-therapy Topic: Help with basal rates Where to go for help with basalrate etc. Your diabetes team Google Facebook Topic 21: Other Medication. Please read the statement below and then check the box to accept the declaration. AndroidAPS reduces basal rates or suspends insulin delivery to raise blood sugar. Drugs in the class SGLT2 inhibitors (gliflozins) can prevent increases in blood glucose and therefore can produce a dangerous insulin deficiency leading to DKA. \nCommon brand names are: Invokana®, Forxiga®, Jardiance®, Steglatro®, Suglat®, Apleway®, Deberza®, Synjardy®, Vokanamet®, Xigduo®.\n\nI hereby promise that I will not take such drugs when using AndroidAPS or will deactivate the loop before using such drugs.
