Hello Justin, Your videos about diabetes devices and apps are the best on youtube. I was really looking forward to the iAPS video, and I don't think I'm the only one. Thank you for what you do and I wish you much success in the future
Merry Christmas to you Justin! I appreciate you and your informative channel. I got my 780G a few weeks after my 70th birthday. I was a Type II for about 11 years and controlled with an A1C of 6.6. About 1.5 years ago my A1C began to climb…long story short, I had developed LADA. I was taken off all oral medication and started on a daily Basel injection. Then after about three months I got a Libre3 CGM and began Basel injection in the evening and preBlousing for carbs at meal time! Counting carbs is a pain and then taking the bolus and waiting…ugh! Since I got my pump my life is so much easier! I’m thankful that I enjoy technology! The hardest thing for me was learning to trust the system. My target is 100 and at first I would wake up early in the morning and see my numbers as low as 84! Normally now when I wake up I’m running about 100 +/- 5! Sorry this is so long. Again, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Justin , i cant say how happy and greatfull I/we are for having you creating these videos. Great video like always. Please on your next video dive deeper in the iAPS. Thanks and happy holidays
That’s great video! What type of insulin did you use during these two weeks? Novorapid? I think IAPS should even work better when using ultra-rapid insulin like Fiasp speciaally when we don’t pre-bolus 🤨
I am new-ish to pumping and love your videos. I hope to go to a system like this in the future. Thank you for keeping me in the know and Merry Christmas!
Hi Justin, It is important that a very popular TH-camr has finally adopted iAPS. I can assure you that since September I have never added carbohydrates...everything happens automatically. iAPS has the problem that it still doesn't support many CGMs and pumps like APS for Android which for example supports "eversense". Given your visibility I think you could help the cause. Merry Christmas! Luigi
Thank you for the clear, informative, and inspiring content! Your upbeat energy is infectious. I want to know more about the literal transition from loop. Did you delete your loop app prior to initiating iAPS? If not, how do you keep them from competing? Do you have to start a new session with both the cgm and the pump when switching over? Thank you!
Will include this in my next episode. Switching from Loop was simple. New pod, cgm can stay the same. Loop app is still on my phone but doing nothing. I turned off notifications for it.
This is so exciting. I have had diabetes for 50 years and hoping this technology can continue my experiences of NO DM complications for the foreseeable future. Thanks for all you do Justin!
Hi thank you so much for the video. I’m on month two. It was/is a steep learning curve. I’m still tweaking. Have to take into consideration monthly cycles etc. I currently have my settings which I’m pleased with and turn on an “120% profile” for 120min for main meals since I have not yet been able to get to “the right settings” that handle a full meal and don’t drive me low when not eating. So, my current settings keeps me steady and handles regular corrections and keeps me a beautiful steady lines while fasting but for meals I turn on “20% more”. It feels like cheating but it’s working. I would rather not do this since I will need a lot of profiles (eg my menstrual profile will need a regular and an eating one) I would like to know how/why/what was the thinking behind the setting changes you did.
Forgot to say I announce meals and I give a starter bolus. I found that it did better with a portion of the recién des bolus and then let it decide to dose the rest. So I blouse between 1/3 and 1/2 of the recorded bolus and generous in my carb counting.
Ok, I’ve been using the OmniPod 5 & ? if the IAPS system can be used w/this system? I’m still waiting on an app from Insulet so the IPhone & PDM don’t have to be carried. I’m very interested in using a system that better learns BGL control w/o bolusing for meals! Great detail !!
@@diabe_tech Any idea when the OmniPod 5 will be included, I understand Insulet is working on an app for the system, ref not having to carry the PDM & IPhone, but believe the IAPS system is the future for longevity in managing Diabetes care? I’ve had the disease for 56 yrs, diagnosed @ a young age & continue to manage w/current devices, but always looking for better ways ref staying active w/o the potential issues, thanks for all your help & support! Best Regards, Jim Gentry
I find iAPS so interesting, but the thought of having so little control would scare the crap out of me. I’m just curious what your time in range looks like?
copeletely agree that all those prediction lines are unnecessary and tmi. they can remain an option under 'statistics and home view' but the default should be that they're not visible. an actual prediction line based on all factors such as ion, cob, isf, cr etc. would be helpful though.
Regarding iAPS how good is it to prevent a Low Blood Sugar and when your blood sugar is going up after a low treatment how well does iAPS handle that? I am asking that because I'm on T-slim contro IQ and when I eat a low treatment with fast carbs sometimes I have to switch to sleep activity depending on why and when I'm getting Low so the pump don't give me an autobolus and make me low again.
What is the android version? Does this diy system work similar to the iLet pump? Are you going to try the iLet pump so we can get a great review of it?
I really like your work, but one thing I haven’t heard you talk about much is accessibility for blind and vision impaired uses. As you’re aware, Diabetes affects eyesight a lot, I’m legally blind, not due to Diabetes, but use omni pod - and DIY loop. It would be great if people could help blind and vision impaired uses, make the software as in do it yourself, but also when you’re speaking to executives like insulate etc ask them about accessibility for blind people because at the moment without using DIY Loop, I cannot use Omni pod -. It beggars believe really that big tech often don’t think about accessibility for blind and vision, impaired people.
@@diabe_tech sure I’d love to have a call, if possible perhaps we could even do a short thing on TH-cam or a podcast about it to get the message out. i’m near Melbourne Australia I don’t know where you are, but we can certainly fix a time and happy to have a discussion.
@@diabe_tech PS to my reply, on another issue, a man recently crashed into a hotel, beer, garden, killing five people near where I live. Apparently it happened because his blood sugar was running low, and he missed eight warnings on his phone. Apparently he tried to get some food from a cafe but he wasn’t served. He’s been charged with murder. It’s going to be a very interesting although tragic case.
So I can use iAPS in conjunction with the algorithm in the OmniPod 5? With the OP5 now 18 months, my biggest frustration is how long its algorithm takes to bring a high back into range; usually 5 hours on its own. In my understanding, the MedTronic 780 algorithm includes auto boluses to correct highs. I wish the OP5 did. I’ve been T1D for 60 years. My health is remarkably good, a gift from God. I did better with hbA1C on MDI, but it was endless micromanagement decisions. The OP5 can’t hold the numbers as carefully, but is less involved. So my question is simply, in your experience, can iAPS with an OP5 and a lot of care produce tighter bg control than an OP5 on its own? I’m not on Facebook. I don’t have outsider feedback. On Medicare it costs a lot for me to go consult with my endocrinologist’s diabetes educators. I’m don’t have the funds, really. Is iAPS not a sound option for my needs?
Just to say no, iAPS works with DAsh pods (and some older Medtronic pumps, but pod wise it’s the Dash). It doesn’t work with Omni5. You would have to chose to switch.
The iAPS app is great, but some of the iAPS Facebook group moderators are condescending-hypocritical-censors. They talk about going FCL (Fully Closed Loop) on interviews and then proceed to censor you if you ask questions about going FCL on the FB group. I ask questions about the algorithm to better develop my understanding so I know what and how to test from an experimentalist point of view as a diabetic of 14 years (in good control), then they start to refuse answering my questions about the algorithms and instead start talking about safety concerns like they are a lawyer. Look, I get you guys being concerned about safety and giving responses that cover your butt, but at least answer questions instead of just blocking someone from being able to post anything. I’m gonna do what I’m gonna do regardless of what anyone says, you might as well give the best information possible so I can decide for myself. I’m not some idiot, I can change my mind on a dime if I see sufficient evidence. Most people who get into Looping are not idiots, and that’s how you were treating me.

Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching :)
Your videos are on point! I was just searching some info regarding iaps and this is a perfect start 😊
Thanks!!
Justin , i cant say how happy and greatfull I/we are for having you creating these videos. Great video like always. Please on your next video dive deeper in the iAPS.
Thanks and happy holidays
Yep, ive got lots planned, way deeper dive into iAPS, how each setting works, the algorithm, differences from DIY Loop and more!
@@diabe_tech love it

I have been waiting for this video, and it did not disappoint! Great video! I am looking forward to your next video on iAPS.
Next few videos will dive deeper!
Great info. Thank you. Happy holidays...
Thanks for watching. You too!

Oh wow. That’s exciting! I’m speaking with an Android APS (AAPS) user on the podcast in the coming weeks :)
Very well

Carb counting is my biggest downfall. Not fun!
Check out my Carb counting videos :) :)
You got it! :)
Looks amazing !!

I'll do my best to explain in future videos. Thanks for your detailed comment :)
This is so cool!!
Riiiight!?
I think the most important thing is counting your carbs correctly, at least that’s my problem and I’m on the Omni pod five
With Loop yes, with iAPS no. At least if your basal, cr and isf are reasonably on point
Ok, I’ve been using the OmniPod 5 & ? if the IAPS system can be used w/this system? I’m still waiting on an app from Insulet so the IPhone & PDM don’t have to be carried. I’m very interested in using a system that better learns BGL control w/o bolusing for meals! Great detail !!
iAPS only works with DASH pods or earlier, not Omnipod 5.

I find iAPS so interesting, but the thought of having so little control would scare the crap out of me. I’m just curious what your time in range looks like?
TIR is 86% between 70-180, 70% between 70-140
copeletely agree that all those prediction lines are unnecessary and tmi. they can remain an option under 'statistics and home view' but the default should be that they're not visible. an actual prediction line based on all factors such as ion, cob, isf, cr etc. would be helpful though.
Absolutely 👍
I’ve been on iAPS for a week now, 75% between 70 - 140 and 88% between 70 - 180.
That’s fantastic! I’m at about 70% for 70-140 and 85-90% for 70-180
Would like to know all your settings on IAPS
What the difference of IAPS from Omnipod 5 on automatic mode?
I can’t find the iAPS app in the App Store.
Will this work with Libre 3? My insurance approved the Omnipod 5 but not the Dexcom G6
I think Libre 3 is possible, but it requires internet connection which isn't smart for automated insulin delivery I'd say
Awesome
:)
good vid man
Thanks!
How do you get iAPS?
Regarding iAPS how good is it to prevent a Low Blood Sugar and when your blood sugar is going up after a low treatment how well does iAPS handle that? I am asking that because I'm on T-slim contro IQ and when I eat a low treatment with fast carbs sometimes I have to switch to sleep activity depending on why and when I'm getting Low so the pump don't give me an autobolus and make me low again.
I find that It does a good job at getting me up from lows and not going low again. Overall feel pretty sturdy on it.
What is the android version? Does this diy system work similar to the iLet pump? Are you going to try the iLet pump so we can get a great review of it?

Just to be clear. iAPS has no machine learning or AI capabilities. It doesn't learn about what you do.
