BedastGPT<p>I did a small experiment this morning.</p><p>Since I can now set temporary basal rates with CIQ, when I woke up, before getting out of bed (I often just lay for a bit), I set a 150% basal rate for half an hour. I was above target anyway.</p><p>It seems to have blunted my typical FOTF!</p><p>I suspect this is how my body would prepare for a cortisol spike, normally.</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/Diabetes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Diabetes</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Tandem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tandem</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Mobi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mobi</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ControlIQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ControlIQ</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ControlIQPlus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ControlIQPlus</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/InsulinPump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InsulinPump</span></a></p>

I’m wondering if a faster-acting insulin might help, allowing me to NOT bolus until I see a BG rise when my stupid stomach decides to start digesting (sometimes immediately, sometimes 4 hours later).</p>
Chris Geoghooligan<p>This is without breakfast, just straight <a href="https://toot.community/tags/cortisol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cortisol</span></a>.</p><p>Dear <a href="https://toot.community/tags/Tandem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tandem</span></a>, could you please implement an easier way to trigger a different basal rate in the morning? Not all of us are robots and get up at the same time every morning, so the strictly-schedule-based basal rates are not as comprehensive as they could be.</p><p><a href="https://toot.community/tags/T1D" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>T1D</span></a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/Type1Diabetes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Type1Diabetes</span></a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/Diabetes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Diabetes</span></a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/DiabeticProblems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DiabeticProblems</span></a></p>
BedastGPT<p>So Control-IQ+ has 2 main changes that, not only is discussed in press releases, but is part of the update training.</p><p>First, the ability to set a temporary basal rate while CIQ is enabled. Previously, this required turning off CIQ.</p><p>Second, the ability to do an extended bolus up to 8 hours instead of just 2 hours.</p><p>But there were also notes of nebulous “algorithm adjustments" with no details. I think I've run into it being a bit more aggressive to basal rates in response to BG climbing. My BG tends to climb many hours after having some wine (alcohol effect on liver, etc), usually while I'm sleeping, and sleep mode doesn't allow automated correction bolus, so only allows basal rate adjustments. I noticed in the visualization that basal rates looked more aggressive and the high BG didn't last nearly as long as it had in the past.</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/Diabetes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Diabetes</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/InsulinPump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InsulinPump</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Tandem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tandem</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Mobi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mobi</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ControlIQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ControlIQ</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ControlIQPlus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ControlIQPlus</span></a></p>
BedastGPT<p>Mobi wasn’t getting CGM updates and I had no indication prior to the update nor after that anything would have to be done about this.</p><p>So… to you Mobi users out there… You might have to reconnect your CGM. It’ll start off indicating it’s doing a warmup again, but the next update interval should show all missed data being pulled in.</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/Diabetes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Diabetes</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Tandem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tandem</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Mobi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mobi</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ControlIQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ControlIQ</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ControlIQPlus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ControlIQPlus</span></a></p>
BedastGPT<p>Mobi is now updated! Looks like the app update to support the new functionality was probably what came with the update 2 weeks ago, or was already there waiting. So the app already supports the new functionality.</p><p>Previously, when going to the temporary basal rate action it would stop you if you had Control-IQ enabled. Now you can set temp rates.</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/Diabetes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Diabetes</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Tandem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tandem</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Mobi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mobi</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ControlIQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ControlIQ</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ControlIQPlus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ControlIQPlus</span></a></p>

BedastGPT<p>I wasn't sure if the Mobi pump ran the Control-IQ algorithm or if the phone did and communicated algorithmic adjustments to the pump.</p><p>I pretty much confirmed the pump runs the algorithm.</p><p>My phone lost connection to the pump over night and I didn't notice. I had to force restart the app and watched it backfill the data from the pump.</p><p>The pump was still doing its magic all night, including a correction bolus for my FOTF this morning.</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/Diabetes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Diabetes</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Tandem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tandem</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Mobi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mobi</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ControlIQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ControlIQ</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/InsulinPump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InsulinPump</span></a></p>
BedastGPT<p>Today I switched to 32 inch infusion sets from 23 inch. 23 inch were fine for tube management, but there were situations where it wasn't long enough.</p><p>I'm sure other pump users probably know.</p><p>The extra length is definitely noticeable.
