Ypsopump and Libre 3

I'm impressed that you're impressed and particularly by how quickly it responds. I was never sure the Omnipod was reacting at all! I dunno what to do Sedge!

When I was considering my next pump, my consultant was telling me that CamAPS is the preferred option for pregnancy (it may be the only HCL licensed for pregnancy, but I can’t 100% remember if she said that). IIRC it was the ability to set low BG targets, and more ‘assertive’ algorithm adjustments that made it more suited to the very stringent BG levels advised during pregnancy?

I’d imagine the minimum basal adjustment might be in the manual, and these tend to be findable online these days, so maybe worth having a look to see if you can find it?
 
The Ypsopump rep told us that about it an pregnancy too, and I immediately wondered 'Is that true or just what you lot want us to think?' There again it does not take 3 days to catch on to a change and just starts anew every single 00.00.

Manual is not online AFAIK.

Page 39 looks to have the basal specs.

There looks to be a sliding scale of increments starting from 0.05u/h in 0.01; then from 1u/h to 2u/h in 0.02u increments; then up to 0.1u increments between 2u/h and 15u/h… and so on.
 
The
basal rate values between 15.0 U/h
and 40.0 U/h can be set in increments
of 0.5 U/h.

Do people really have basal rates of 40.0u per hour???? Even 15u seems horrifically high to me. My highest rate is 0.95 just before lunch.

That surprised me too! I don’t know if the Ypsomed was engineered to be suitable for T2s in some countries? But even there I’d imagine there would be few that needed that level for long!

You’d be refilling the cartridge every 3hrs or so! (Assuming I remember the cartridges being 150u correctly)
