Automated Insulin Delivery
Automated insulin delivery goes by many names: hybrid or full closed loop; artificial pancreas system (APS); "looping" and more. They are not all the same, though. You have choices, ranging from the type of pump body and CGM you want to use, to the algorithm and controller, to the interoperability and remote monitoring options, and more. Like switching from multiple daily injections to an insulin pump, switching from manual diabetes to automated insulin delivery has a learning curve. It's certainly one you can tackle. After all, you're already tackling type 1 diabetes! You already have the base knowledge and experience you need to succeed with a closed loop system, if it's right for you. But...
Understanding Automated Insulin Delivery
Automated insulin delivery is a new type of technology that uses an algorithm (a set of rules) based on continuous glucose monitor data and insulin pump data to decide whether an insulin pump should give more or less insulin. This book explains the basics of scuba diving and uses it as an analogy for how an automated insulin delivery system makes small changes to manage blood glucose levels, similar to how a scuba diver makes small changes to manage their balance (called buoyancy) in the water. This book can be used to help explain diabetes technology to kids, their friends and schoolmates, and even your family members to help them understand how this technology helps make living with diabetes easier.
Chloe's Cookies
Chloe needs to take an enzyme, called lactase, when she eats something with lactose in it. She asks whether the food she is eating has milk in it to see if she needs to take lactase to help her digest it. But she's not alone! Other people have lactose intolerance, too. And there are also other types of enzyme supplements that people take sometimes, too, if they have exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI).
