I spoke with a user of iAPS about her experience using the open source system over the last 3 months. She doesn't log carbs and calls the app "magic." iAPS is an artificial pancreas system based on the OpenAPS algorithm. Using the settings you input, carbohydrates and historical data, iAPS aims to automate insulin delivery to reduce the time you spend managing your diabetes.

iAPS is a DIY open source artificial pancreas system controlled from and iPhone and Apple Watch. It may be the most powerful algorithm to manage type 1 diabetes. I spoke with two leaders about their incredible success using the system. One user never logs carbs and sits at 80% TIR, the other boluses before meals and most of his days are 90-98% in range.

More about Justin
Justin was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in May 2021 thanks to the diabetes community on Tik Tok.
Originally, misdiagnosed with type 2 diabetes, Justin posted videos on Tik Tok of his symptoms and what his doctor had him doing at the time - testing blood sugar, taking long acting insulin - when the diabetes community found his videos, they blew up and they told him he had type 1, needed and Endocrinologist, a cgm and a pump. They got him the help he needed and I owes them his life.
