In my closed-loop pump system, the OpenAPS rig (a tiny Linux computer) communicates with the Medtronic Veo 554 pump every few minutes via radio. This works great, but it does put extra load on the pump’s AAA battery. So the batteries don’t last as long as in a non-looping pump. These AAA batteries are smaller …
I’m in the middle of one of many experiments: I’m now using a Dexcom G5 CGM system instead of a Freestyle Libre. It’s not necessarily going to be a permanent change, but I have a box of G5 sensors to work through while I compare the two. I’ve been using the Libre since it became available …
Well a lot has been going on recently! Looping! I have been running my insulin through a closed-loop pump system for several weeks now, and it’s running well. My system is using a Medtronic Veo pump, an OpenAPS Edison rig, and my existing JARVIS CGM. The OpenAPS software can be configured in many ways, but by …
You may know the story behind the name of my CGM (continuous glucose monitor): JARVIS. Now I’m building another machine to be part of my diabetes network, and because it will have connections across WiFi and Bluetooth networks it really helps if it has its own network name. This machine is an OpenAPS rig: a …
