Updates in LoopDocs

The Safety Tips page in LoopDocs has been updated. Here’s a list of topics:

  • Know your settings
  • Understand the App Displays
  • Carb Entry and Insulin Delivery
  • How to Cancel a Bolus
  • Understand Delivery Limits
  • Health app permissions
  • Medtronic Easy Bolus button
  • Finish your Medtronic priming

Additionally, this section is fairly new and should be studied. This was added in response to a FaceBook post that triggered lots of discussion:

If you are among the few who need to modify the relationship between "maximum Bolus" and "maximum IOB for Automatic Dosing", a customization was added to the Code Customization page.

US Med Dexcom Supplies

US Med (a supplier of medical supplies in the US) is automatically switching Dexcom users to G7. If you get Dexcom G6 supplies through US Med and would like to keep receiving G6, you need to call and let them know.
