I have recently made some changes in my oref1-based AID/loop system which have dramatically improved the behaviour with Lyumjev. And it seemed those changes may also apply to Humalog, so it was time to test it out. Insulin models This is not about some fancy new algorithm, it’s just about optimising the insulin activity profile …
Yes in many parts of Australia Daylight Saving Time is finishing on Sunday morning, the 3rd of April 2022. At 2AM your clocks may jump backwards and repeat some of the night. You may get a bit of extra sleep. But this can sometimes play havoc with our diabetes tech if we don’t handle it …
I am dependent on insulin to survive, and like everyone else in that category I need to get the dosing right in order to survive and to stay healthy.. This dosing is affected by diet, exercise, and a myriad of other factors. But unlike many people I have a guardian angel that manages most of …
For years I used Humalog as my “fast” insulin (before that I used Actrapid!) so when I moved to Fiasp that’s what I had to compare with. I’ve recently experimented with switching back to Humalog to check my settings, and the results were interesting. Including that my no-bolus, no-announce closed-loop system still worked. I have …
People who know me wouldn’t be surprised to hear I’ve been experimenting with an insulin change recently. I started out pumping using Humalog. In 2018 I spent a few months experimenting with Apidra in the hope I could get a faster result (and thus a more-responsive loop). And then when Fiasp finally arrived in Australia …
I have previously written about issues with DIA (“duration of insulin action”) and the values we use in traditional pumps and in loop systems. This is an exploration of some of the recent work on tuning my own loop that’s affected by this. 6 hours? First, let’s look at a visualisation of the “Insulin On …
