While AID systems can compensate for modest glucose excursions without the user’s involvement, they are next to helpless at handling anything that causes a dramatic rise or fall in glucose levels. Users need to have a solid foundation in carbohydrate estimation as well as general nutrition principles – including the time component of digestion and insulin administration.

AID isn’t an acronym I see being used a lot interestingly enough. Is it a new one trying to gather several things under one term?
