New Here?
The Diabadass Tour is a journey across America to highlight the individuals, companies, and organizations that make up the 1 diabetic community. The two adventurers are Cassidy Robinson who is featured in the full-length film "Bike Beyond: the documentary" and Erik Douds who is an endurance athlete and global traveler - both live with type 1 diabetes.

Hey potential Loopers,
Since this video's release, you can now use an Omnipod Eros (the one we know and love for the PDM "Brick") to set up Loop. This reduces the giant hurdle of trying to find a compatible pump. Learn more information on LoopDocs.org or www.Diabadass.com
Thank you to everyone who made this possible.
I did it with Android Mobile and Riley Link worked ok for me.Omnipod Eros (the one we know and love for the PDM With an Android Mobiles see facebook.com/groups/2141146659318874/ for more information!
Thanks for this info. I'm glad to see PEOPLE taking the next step instead of waiting for the drug companies to say when they think it's time to make these things available. Caution is always the best way, but theres too much waiting for things to happen. I am 65 years old - i hope you don't mind my yammering here - I have been type 1 Diabetic since I was 10. So many things happening in the world right now. The Medtronic, loop:Riley link with the CGM G6 seems mind bogglingingly amazing. I am AMAZED!!! =) THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEO.
Thank you for this comment! My grandfather was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 1940 and that lingers on the back of my mind. He tested BG (and sounds like you did too) using a urine stick, and now there are implantable CGMS coming to the market. Could you imagine a phone one day would be taking care of insulin doses for you?
So cool!!! Thanks for sharing this info Erik. I definitely want to try this out!
Michelle Lord thanks Michelle! We have to start hunting for more old pumps
Omg. How come I haven’t discovered you before. Just seen you on a daily tribe. I’m currently collecting old Medtronics ( I’ve got 2 already ) and I’m creating my own LOOP this summer. I’m so so excited about. I spoke to my endo couple of days ago and he gave me a green light to do it. I was worried about that because here in the U.K. LOOPing is not popular but he new of it 😆😁😀 I will be vlogging my LOOPing too 😆😅😁
Also i cant wait to bolus from my Apple Watch 😆😆
Looping is fantastic and love the amount of customization. Michelle has told me about your channel so I need to keep following it!! Let me know if you have any questions and I’m here to help
Bolusing from your phone is wonderful. It’s strange to look back once you start
Erik Douds I think so too. OMG thanks so much . Michelle is the best. I’m so honored. I just hope you like my content. I will soon have my endo appointment vlog up and I talk about my loop situation there - it will be my announcement because no one knows I’m doing it 😂😂 how long have you been on LOOP if you don’t mind me asking ?
Since you have freestyle libre + blucon. Can looping be also done with the freestyle libre?
Great vid 👍 Been using loop for over a year it's definitely not a plug and play ( leave as is) but after getting your settings correct it definitely assists in management . Keep up the vids 👍
Thank you so much. Waking up actually makes me HAPPY now after seeing the system correct. My biggest issue at the time is getting dropped low during the day.
And someone was just successful in looping their OMNIPOD 😱🙌🏼
yes me! :-) Omnipod Eros (the one we know and love for the PDM With an Android Mobiles see facebook.com/groups/2141146659318874/ for more information!
This is so cool. I wish I could take my computery skills and do something like this but I don't trust myself that much😬
Hey Ruby, the beautiful part about the Do It Yourself community is that you need ZERO coding skills. Every step is well documented on www.Loopdocs.com because of people in our community that want others to get involved
Erik Douds That’s great!!
Awesome video and information. I’m a dad of a 13 y/o T1D. He’s currently using the OmniPod “which I have no complaints about” but I would like to know how I can get him started on the LOOP system. How do i go about finding him a compatible Medtronic device? Everything else seems straight forward? Your help is greatly appreciated! Keep up the good work!
Loopdocs.org does have a section about this: Finding a compatible Medtronic pump is probably the most difficult part for most new Loopers. Our suggestion:
Talk to friends in the diabetic community.
Ask your endocrinologist.
Ask at a local JDRF chapter meeting if someone has an old backup pump they'd be willing to donate to you.
Join diabetic supply groups in Facebook; both for-trade and for-sale groups.
Check Craigslist often and be willing to expand your search area to include larger cities.
Check out the HelpAround, NextDoor, OfferUp, and/or LetGo apps for pumps.
Search Medwow for used Medtronic pumps"
Just saw you on the Dale Tribe. My 4 year old has Type 1.
I'm so happy the Dale Tribe sent you over! They are a wonderful family. Your little one looks so cute
They're hard to get, but you can also use the Dana R pumps which have bluetooth built in
Jonathan Morris Woo, do you know anyone that has this pump?
Met a guy named Alex at the last Diabadass Dinner who said he is going to get a Dana R pump and try looping. Would love to get updates from him.
How do i get involved in the diabadass community? I am a type 1 diabetic who also works as a diabetic educator in the USA. Just looking into looping!
@@ErikDouds I have this pump and its pretty amazing. Lightweight and small 300 Unit pump with full Loop control with AndoidAPS and Loop. Got it from my healthcare here in Germany! Greetz!
I tried the open aps system in 2015 but found the rig we (my computer programmer dad and I) made was just not suitable. I'm a student and it would lose connection a lot etc.
Right now I'm on the 640g and due for an update (hopefully to the 670g) come September. I'm looking into 'doing' the Loop system. I've had unbelievable trouble with my Medtronic sensors in the last year and I'm wanting to try the dexcom G5. Butttt it doesn't work with the 640g/670g pumps or suspend on/before low, which is necessary for my hypo unaware status.
I admit I haven't been a 'perfect' diabetic during my teenage years, but I've been gaining control over my care and I'm going into university and my setup right now is just not good enough for me right now. I feel like it works against me and I'm tired of fighting it 😴.
Wish me luck w my research into Loop!
Hi Erik! Great video, recently new to your channel - can you tell me where you got that case for the rileylink? I think it looks great!
getrileylink.org is where you order the Riley Link and mine is the default one and then took a sharpie to add my name and number on it. You'll see another case option that has a key change ring on the website - $45 but worth it if it helps you not lose it.
GAME CHANGER!
Hey! I'm a type 1 looking into looping... How would i get medtronic supplies if i went this direction? Like do current infusion sets and supplies work with the older medtronic pumps still?
this
Depends on the pump, but I believe most of the looping capable pumps use the Paradigm reservoirs and infusion sets. I’ve got an old 754, which I’m planning on using for looping when the RileyLink arrives, and it uses the same reservoirs etc as my current pump (630G I think is the model).
You would get a script for a current pump Medtronic pump model and this works for the older compatible loopable pumps. The difference in reservoir size is displayed in the first number of the model number i.e. '5'22 verse '7'22 would be that the 5 is 200mL where 7 is 300mL.
Pretty sure sets are compatible with whatever, but reservoir size is different for older pumps. If you go to Loop documentation on GitHub you'll find compatibility info there.
As I recall, the Medtronic/Minimed company changed from a Luerlock connection on the reservoir to their proprietary connector to the infusion set tubing, which has nothing to do with the pump. In other words, the reservoirs fit in the pump and are both driven by the drive piston in the pump in the same way. Medtronic/Minimed changed the infusion tubing connection from Luerlock to their proprietary connector. I have an older Minimed 723 NAB version 2.3B which is compatible with the Riley Link. The model 723 pump use a 300 unit reservoir (MMT332A). I also use a Medtronic Quick-set Paradigm 43” tubing with a 9mm cannula (MMT-396).
Wow just wow
does it work with android? because i can't find any relative apps?! even though it doesn't work with minimed 640 that i'm using :(
Yes! just google for AndroidAPS and go to Milos Kozak's git page. There are several docs and tutorials in the Wiki to help you.
Omnipod Eros (the one we know and love for the PDM With an Android Mobiles see facebook.com/groups/2141146659318874/ for more information!
I'm a type 2 diabetic but was told today that my pancreas is barley working. They are getting me started on an insulin pump and omni pod now. Just waiting for the referral to go through so that I can go through the process. Do you know if how this would work for someone who lives in Canada ? The looping I mean.
Looping can be used around the world. The hardest part is finding the old Medtronic pump so x15, x22, x, 23, or x54. They should be available in Canada or find one online and see if they do international shipping.
I'll check that out thank you very much.
Can you please give me full details about it? I have to make it... its actually for my mom. she kinda suffers a lot due to diabetes.
Check out LoopDocs.org and all the details are there to follow. This could reduce her burden from diabetes
This only works with an Apple phone correct?
"Loop" only works with Apple while "OpenAPS" is Android and iPhone compatible
I’m trying to build my own artificial pancreas
Check out the documents on OpenAPS. There is documentation for connecting two loopable pumps should a liquid glucagon come out. Lots of hard work that is openly available to the public for people like you to experiment with
Hi, I have medtronic guardian sensor 3 and omnipod. Can they be used together?
I don’t believe so but loopdocs.org has all the compatible equipment listed
Hey people! I have a 723 with the oldest firmware but the OpenAPS website says it only gives recommendations not loop compatible. How come some people say 723 works some people say it doesn't????????????
723 needs the firmware 2.4A or lower. Simple as that.
It worked for me but I only tested 2 pods first one failed the second one no issues also the pods I used were out of date ones so that might of had an impact on the first fail plus I was not fully knowing the correct way, now I know the way to do it.
Not that the Riley Link can be supplemented by a Raspberry Pi, using the OpenAPS system.
I know there are people that use Riley Link + Open APS as their solution - if that is what you were hinting at. That way you get bluetooth and wifi for the connection to your phone
It can now! :-) Omnipod Eros (the one we know and love for the PDM With an Android Mobiles see facebook.com/groups/2141146659318874/ for more information!
Damn..I wish it worked on an animas...how cool
Yeah it is really incredible. Hope to put together a class or something so people can learn more / channel some donations to help unlock more pump options
Erik Douds I'm hearing that the Omnipod is one they maybe able to also add to the loop. I am getting into Omnipod in a few weeks since my insurance covers it 100% . I think I may know someone with the pump you have I may have to call him to see if he upgraded and is willing to give it to me..🤔
can I use a Medtronic's 530G
unfortunately, you cannot. I'd recommend joining the waitlist/newsletter for Diabadass.com because a course about setting up is about to go live - and there will be a free downloadable checklist
The developers of this thing better be careful they don't accidentally commit suicide with a round to the back of the head. We know big pharma don't play when it comes to money.
yeah great, have a 754 but version 2.7 :(
I've just done this with an Omnipod its a great feeling! thanks for your video! I did it with a Dexcom G6 so we have moved on like all things with T1 equipment. I use I, Riley Link, too! use an Omnipod Eros (the one we know and love for the PDM With an Android Mobiles see facebook.com/groups/2141146659318874/ for more information!
So so so happy that they figured out how to integrate this into Loop - plus the announcement that Tidepool is working with Omnipod is a big win for the future.
@@ErikDouds Only if there are no restrictions in their software as we know and love xdrip I feel that also needs to be a part of it all too! This is me Bolusing from my mobile too! th-cam.com/video/JeZevUFpoRg/w-d-xo.html
