I’ve written numerous times about modelling the activity profiles of various insulins. Telling my oref-based Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) system which insulin I’m using lets it model the current situation (and forecast the future) quite well. We usually think about this in terms of the simple concept of a single bolus: how quickly it starts …
Different insulins have effect (and get used up) at different speeds, and modelling this is important for accurate calculation of subsequent insulin doses. Some automated insulin delivery (AID) systems try to determine this themselves (e.g. CamAPS has nowhere for us to tell it which insulin we’re using) and some (e.g. Medtronic and Control-IQ) seem to …

For years many of us have been wearing these devices and carrying phones in our pockets talking to them. And we’ve usually worked out what we need to to do let everything operate smoothly. Now with more people starting to use them (with the recent expansion of the CGM Subsidy and the launch of AID …
