Day 2

I began the day as I left off the last day, the app was running and controlling the pump nothing more.

By midday however i has setup Nightscout to get some reports and also linked up the G6 CGM via the cloud share function. My current setup looks like this – Omnipod connected to iPhone, G6 connected to Android and cloud sharing to link the 2. A tip here you need at least one person sharing the data before the cloud share function in the app works, I am sharing with myself.

Now the magic started to happen, I soon started seeing recommended basal rates. I was running in the open loop mode for testing to start with. They were only very small increases/decreases depending on how the BG trend was going on the CGM. They seemed very small but it became quickly apparent that the small changes were so regular that they could make a big difference.

I kept the open loop mode into the evening constantly looking and accepting the recommended changes. I was adding in food and it would advise on a bolus for that food and also predict where my blood sugars would end up. Towards night time my confidence in the system was building and I began to trust the app.

I’m keeping open loop mode for a couple of days and will then close the loop.
