If you've got any questions about my type 1 diabetes diagnosis or experience with Loop, drop them here ⬇️

T1D community around the world is a kind of a brotherhood. They don't back down. They help each other the most I'm so proud of this community

Dead Pancreas Gang!! ☠️🤘🏼

Gotta love the open source community ❤️

My son just started Omnipod 5 two weeks ago. He has used a version of Omnipod for 5.5 years. He started 6 months after diagnosis. We love Omnipod 5 but Loop is amazing. It can do so many much more. He needs the "control" the loop system would give him. Thank you for sharing. Also I am so glad that you were able to get the correct diagnosis. So many adults are misdiagnosed as T2D. Again thank you for sharing

This is fantastic! If you want something done you have to do it yourself.

for a product/app that was made by a bunch of cool people, not like a big company with loads of R&D money, this is EXTREMELY well made. great job guys at Loop, well done.

Loop + Low carb = truly normal, nondiabetic blood sugars. Nice.

Love this video and LOVE to see there is so much good in the world. I am from Brazil and just got started with 780G Medtronic, but so interested in Loop getting approved bt FDA. Congrats on your video Justin

I've also been looping for years using AndroidAPS. It's changed my life entirely for the better. My A1c has never been better and I almost never have dangerous lows anymore. The looping systems are incredibly effective, and best of all I can go hours without thinking about my diabetes at all. The long-haulers know just how exhausting management can be, and AndroidAPS has taken so much of that burden off my shoulders. Thanks for making this video and spreading the word!

This is a wonderful video. I’ve had type 1 for 40+ years and have seen almost no improvement in the way I care for myself. There’s been no new medications except for the transition from animal to human insulins and the transition to the new ultra-fast and ultra-slow acting insulins. Why would companies be motivated to progress the tech with all the money to be made? Companies are a living financial entity which die without income. Will our politicians encourage a different path? No. Loop could be the first real improvement. Sad situation.

Great video and a good summary of how Loop and DIY looping can help. There are always ups and downs, and its not for everyone as its requires a high technology awareness, but for me it beats any of the off-the-shelf technologies currently available to me. Been using AndroidAPS for 8 months now, and love how much less time of T1 awareness it takes to live each day. I've been T1 for 49 years now and AAPS is a huge leap forward in lifestyle for me, currently 96% TIR and working on the last 4.....

Woah! What a community!!

Thanks man. Video was helpful.

Thanks very much for this.

What an excellent all around video - giving credit where credit is due 👍👍

Really awesome that they started the movement to improve insulin pump technology but the big companies have taken their ideas and made them into working, FDA approved devices. Tandem pumps with control iq does the amount of this stuff that matters and Omnipod 5 algorithm is on the way. Tandem has thousands of users data too. Even though that is mentioned in the video it’s not enough to make me feel like they are promoting the safer options.

the project sounds great and has so much hard work from everyone, but i'm always worried about the security of these devices.. ultimately they all connect to a cell phone that has constant access to the internet.. is taking control out of the users hands good if it leaves the an opening for someone else to get in?

Does loop work with Medtronic 780???

No mention on compatibility of the various CGM's I presume we are shackled to the Dexcom 6 and that Eversense or libre 3 are not compatible?

this is awesome ty for this info

I helped a friend set up a loop with their omnipod and dexcom and a rileylink, and they are having the best a1c ever and super easy for them as a non-technical person to manage... it's not approved yet better than the doctor advice I currently get... If you can, you should do it imo. I would but I can't afford a pump... or even my insulin lol

any idea how to get omnipod from outside the US?!

How do I go about looping Omnipod Dash? My 2 adult children get them soon, they're T1 since 10 years old and have been on the old Omnipod system. Don't want to have to go on Medtronic, they love the wireless. I'd love to do this for them but I'm so out of touch with technology! HELP!!!

How and where do I get what I need to put together a Closed Loop System? Also, what do I need in order to build a Closed Loop System myself?

ok WOW I need to know more about this and I want a Loop!!!! Thank you for this. I'm gonna click on the links, but also WHERE and HOW can I get one of these please?!

I looked in the iPhone App Store, but it’s not there? Help!

Loop should form a company and get FDA approval

Good explanation:)

What Pioneer controller do you use?

What is loop exactly? I'm looking in to getting a OMNIPOD, can I use LOOP with my Motorola?

How to download the Loop？My daughter is 5years old ，She uses dexcom G7，injection 3 times in the day time，and glargine at night. But didn't control the glucose very well. We live in HK.

loop sounds interesting. I'm going to have to check it out. I was thinking about doing a homebrew for my tslim2 but a working framework is always better.

The thing that really really sucks about being a type one is we are forced to use systems and technology that is years and decades old to LIVE normalish lives. I’m in my late 30s and have had diabetes since I was 2. I have seen growth in diabetes tech. 15 years ago. That’s about the time pumps started showing up regularly. But my first pump, was still my favorite. It had a blood tester attachment. I could plug my numbers directly to it! That was back in 2007. Medtronic has their guardian system, but that thing is a train wreck compared to the Dexcom and the libre. And I still had to jump through hoops to make the damned thing work. I have other issues that my diabetes has caused and most of it may have been partially negated if companies had sunk more time and effort to make life better for diabetics rather than just making us poorer.

Nice! Where do you get the Omnipod Eros pods? Are they still covered by your insurance? Thank you.

Hi did you use the Omnipod dash with the orange link pro?

I was diagnosed with type 1 at 30 years old as well

Is tandem x2 pump can I you loop with it

So loop can only work on an apple device, right? I started to use the Omnipod 5 and it seems is close to a closed loop system

Can relate

Hi, will it work with libre 2, iPhone and omni pod dash? If not is there another system that will. Thankyou

i love this a lot but wish i can use it , it’s not available here in dubai

Can I get your diabetes educator’s contact so that I can hire her for help? I am interested in starting the Loop program. Thanks

This is revolutionary omg

Hey what are the Gameboys behind you on the wall. Looks cool

Can i use libre 2 with omnipod to loop?

Justin, I cant thank you enough. By any chance, do you know any channels similar to your in Spanish? Appreciate your help :)

Tidepool FTW!

I would love to loop, but I have no idea how to get started.

What is the application name on android? Searched with the name loop but not there!!

Praying for you hope you get better .

Will loop work with Omnipod 5?

💯

It effing sucks. I was diagnosed at 21. Sister was diagnosed at 32.

I wonder what is being allowed in our food that is causing so many new type 1 diabetics. when i was diagnosed at 21 i was told it was 'juvenile onset diabetes' and that i was born with it and just over time my body was no longer able to produce insulin. However there are more and more people being diagnosed type 1, like the person in this video who was diagnosed at 30 and i've also met people who were diagnosed type 1 at 47 years old. I doubt they were diabetic their entire life and just didn't know it. So, what is being put in our food that is killing off peoples pancreas'????

Insurance companies hate pumps 😂

great!

Won't be hacking my pump love it just the way it is good video though

I am in Canada. I heard today from my Diabetes educator that the new pumps have been made to prevent people from hacking them in order to loop. I do not have words to express my feelings of outrage and helplessness and frustration that there is a solution to make my blood sugars stable and it is out of reach. I'm not technical, I have no idea what to do. QUESTION: WHAT IS THE BEST PUMP FOR LOOPING?

Sugar/ carbs = liver issues

And why is CNET promoting a NON FDA approved method when Omnipod 5 which is FDA approved will do this on its own?

After a Vaccination? Got mine at 21 after a booster shot for TB.

Did you get the COVID vaccine? Asking, because I got Type 1 in 2021 and find it extremely suspicious.

Why would you hack it , really

There are 2 types of carbohydrates. Simple and complex. Simple is unhealthy.

i know that this new technology is exciting but why are u promoting something and do 14 minutes video on something isn’t approved yet for safety, efficacy and quality and could potentially be harmful to others.

Here's medical advice: Don't do this. One mistake and you're dead. If you are sleeping and your "hacking" gives you too much insulin... well, that's that. I'm a T1 x 30 years. I'm also an NP and a diabetes educator. Let the flames begin...

Stop faking

Hey Dude. First of all i would like to give you my props for that video from a technical Viewpoint. Very well made. Good Visuals. Good on Cam Performance. In short great Production Value. But !! I believe you are promoting the wrong message. I started Looping back in the days around 2016. I had the same level of enthusiasm about that stuff as you are now. And that is absolutly fine. I was diagnosed in 2008 with age of 37. It took me years to learn about my diabetes and how to deal with it utilizing the available Tools and treatments. In 2016 i discovered the benefits of looping and (as is said) was blown away. So far so good. Dont get me wrong. Your diagnosis is not so long ago. Almost one year ago. Do you really think its a good thing to promote Looping to potentional "newbies" while being a Newbie by your self ? "I hacked my Insulin Pump". Sorry No you dont. You just copied & pasted some work that other great Folks from our Community were great enough to share. And so did i back in the days. Long story short. In my opinion your video sells the message: Hack your Pump and your T1D runs on Autopilot. And that is for me more than risky. Because it isnt that easy. Sure you can get into looping very easy. There is al lot of help on the webs that will guide you there. But guess what. Using Loop and other DIY Systems is still a risk that you take for yourself. No matter how well those System are performing. In the end of the Day you are responsible for what your are doing. When my Loop fails or stops working for whatever Reason i know how can handle my T1D manually. Because i was used to do it for years. And i assume (dont take it personally) after one year of living with T1D your not at this stage. Maybe im wrong. I hope you get my points.

Fellow T1D here. As good as those new gadgets get, the very best hack still is managing your diet. I can recommend the ketogenic diet 100%, it helped me get my hba1c below 6.0!

Youre not a type 1, you have LADA

Did you have covid? If yes, did you get T1 after? Is Loop > AndriodAPS?

Amazing Vidéo. Thank you @justin_tech
