What is true about DIA? 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. Hypo Temp-Target What is primary reason to set a hypo temp target? To correct for hypos caused by incorrect basal rate settings. 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 if 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 Reasons for applying "Disconnect pump" in AndroidAPS What should be done when disconnecting the pump? This is unnecessary as insulin will not be delivered if the pump is physically disconnected. It prevents AndroidAPS from accounting for insulin that was not delivered whilst the pump is physically disconnected.  It will not stop insulin delivery if the pump remains connected. It will send AndroidAPS into open loop mode. https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Getting-Started/FAQ.html#other-settings AndroidAPS Settings AndroidAPS Settings What are the best practices for backing up your settings? You do not need to export your settings provided that you make a note of them. Export your settings after you finish completing an objective. Export your settings after changing any of your settings. Export your settings after you finish your initial set-up and have set your Preferences. Export your settings locally using the maintenance menu. Your settings file is found in the folder Internal Storage/AAPS/preferences on your phone. Copy your preferences file to a safe location outside of your phone (e.g. by using a cloud drive, connecting a cable to a computer, email, etc.) If your phone is damaged or lost, there are easy ways to remotely recover your settings without a backup. 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 Noisy CGM Readings What should be done if CGM data is noisy? Do nothing - AndroidAPS will deal with it. Disable the closed loop to avoid possible over or underdosing. Replace consistently noisy or inaccurate sensors. Verify that your CGM app provides smoothed data. https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Usage/Smoothing-Blood-Glucose-Data-in-xDrip.html#smoothing-blood-glucose-data Exercise and Profiles How can you use profiles to best help the system deal with aerobic exercise? Do a profile switch to less than 100%. Do a profile switch to more than 100%. Leave the profile set to 100%. Suspend the loop. https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Usage/temptarget.html#activity-temp-target 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 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. Basal, ISF, and I:C 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 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. A MiniMed 670G pump. https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Module/module.html A Smartwatch. A Supported CGM. Prerequisites What is essential to set up and use AndroidAPS? 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 Updating AndroidAPS Check all correct answers. You need to have Git installed and configured on your computer. When updated versions of AndroidAPS are released, the earlier versions may be remotely limited after a specified time. You should save and note the location of your keystore and use the same signing key for updates as for your previous installation. Never update if the system is working well. If you have difficulty building the apk, you can install an apk that has been built by a friend. https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Installing-AndroidAPS/Update-to-new-version.html#update-to-a-new-version-or-branch Troubleshooting Where can you look for help with AndroidAPS? You can ask for advice in the AndroidAPS Users Facebook group. You should read (and re-read) the AndroidAPS documentation. You can ask for advice and log technical problems or issues in the AndroidAPS Gitter room. You should ask your diabetes clinic/endocrinologist. https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Installing-AndroidAPS/Update-to-new-version.html#troubleshooting https://www.facebook.com/groups/AndroidAPSUsers/ https://gitter.im/MilosKozak/AndroidAPS Insulin Plugins Which insulin should you use with the Ultra-Rapid Oref plugin? Fiasp® NovoRapid®/Novolog® Humalog® Actrapid®/Humalin R®/"regular" human insulin. https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Configuration/Config-Builder.html#insulin Sensitivity Plugins Check all correct answers. Sensitivity plugins allow AndroidAPS to adjust for temporary or short-lived changes in insulin sensitivity (for example hormonal changes or issues with absorption at the infusion site). Sensitivity plugins provide the user with suggested changes to basal rates, I:C ratios and ISF that can be used to edit profile. Logging a cannula change will reset Autosens ratio back to 100%. Some of the plugin options have configurable time ranges that can be set by the user. https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Configuration/Sensitivity-detection-and-COB.html Carb Entry Errors What should you do if you’ve made an incorrect carb entry? Delete the incorrect entry in Treatments and enter the correct new carb value. Bolus with insulin using the infusion set prime menu. Do nothing – AndroidAPS will make the appropriate adjustments. Bolus with insulin using the Insulin (bolus) button in Overview. Insulin delivery/entry errors What should you do if you received less insulin than the pump history suggests e.g. due to an occlusion, a failed cannula or forgetting to reattach the pump after a shower?  Delete insulin data from Nightscout Careportal to remove it from the pump history. Compare values in AndroidAPS and pump history (if pump supports this). Bolus a proportion of your calculated ‘missed’ insulin by either syringe/pen or using a prime. Do nothing and allow AndroidAPS to correct any resulting high blood glucose level. Insulin on Board (IOB) Check all the correct answers. IOB value is affected by issued temporary basals. High temp basal will not be given when your blood sugar is below target. Negative IOB for a substantial period in the absence of exercise suggests your profile is too strong and less insulin is needed in your settings. Positive IOB for a substantial period suggests insulin resistance or unannounced meals. Carb entry and boluses Only grams should be used for estimating and recording carbohydrates consumed. Carbohydrates consumed can be recorded using an appropriate exchange system (e.g. DAFNE "CHO" exchanges or European "Bread Units"). AndroidAPS uses a dynamic model to estimate carb “decay” and calculate COB. If blood glucose levels are outside acceptable values (too low or too high) the bolus calculator can be used to provide suggestions for carb or insulin corrections. https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Getting-Started/FAQ.html#insulin-to-carb-ratio-ic-g-u e-carbs What could you use e-carbs (extended carbs) for? To schedule carbs in the future, possibly distributed over an interval (similar to an extended bolus distributing insulin over an interval). For logging \'free\' exercise carbs you want to hide from AndroidAPS. e-carbs (distributed in the future) can assist AndroidAPS in dealing with high fat/protein meals. For logging rescue carbs you use to treat low blood glucose.  https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Usage/Extended-Carbs.html Remote Monitoring How can you monitor AndroidAPS (for example for your child) remotely? NS Client app, Nightscout app and Nightscout webpage all allow you to follow AndroidAPS remotely. Other apps (e.g. Dexcom follow, xDrip running in follow mode) allow you to follow some parameters (e.g. blood glucose/sensor values) remotely, but use different algorithms so may have inaccurate IOB or COB values. To follow AndroidAPS remotely, both devices must have internet access (e.g. via Wi-Fi or mobile/cellular network data). NS Client used as a remote follower will both monitor and provide full control of AndroidAPS. https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Children/Children.html 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 has no effect on insulin delivery when blood glucose levels are below target. 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 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. Insulin to Carbohydrate Ratio (I:C ratio) Higher I:C ratios lead to less insulin delivered for a given amount of carbs. Lower I:C ratios lead to less insulin delivered for a given amount of carbs. If you have 0 COB, changing the IC ratio will lead to a different amount of insulin to correct a given BG value. IC will be different if you count bread (exchange) unit as 10g or 12g. IC meaning is: How many bread (exchange) 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 Profile Switching When specifying a 90% profile switch, which answers are true? Basal rates will be 10% lower. ISF will be 10% higher. The value of the I:C ratio will be a 10% lower number. ISF and I:C ratios will be unchanged. https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Usage/Profiles.html?highlight=profile%20switch#profile-switch Profile Switching When specifying a 120% profile switch, which answers are true? Target blood glucose will be 20% higher. Basal rates will be 20% higher. Target blood glucose will be unchanged. ISF will be 20% higher. Profile Switching 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 2 Initiate a profile switch with a timeshift of -2 Set an eating soon temporary target. Do a profile switch to more than 100%.  https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Usage/Profiles.html?highlight=profile%20switch#timeshift Changes to profiles Basal rates, ISF, I:C ratios, etc., should be set in profiles. Activating changes to your Nightscout Profile requires your AndroidAPS phone to have an internet connection. Editing profiles to change values is sufficient to enact any changes made. Multiple profiles can be set up and selected to accommodate changing circumstances (e.g. hormonal changes, shift working, weekdays/weekend lifestyle). https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Module/module.html#good-individual-dosage-algorithm-for-your-diabetes-therapy Help with basal rates Where to go for help with basalrate etc. Your diabetes team Google Facebook 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.
