• I will also no longer provide an option for a TestFlight invitation from me.
• You must build the app yourself.

Loop Follow

Purpose:

Using so many different apps as a parent or caregiver of a T1D can be very cumbersome. Add in the extra details from Looping and it can be a challenge flipping back and forth between apps. Each app has different strengths and weaknesses.

• Spike is great for alarms.
• Spike and Sugarmate are great for the calendar complication on Apple Watch.
• Nightscout X or Nightscout in Safari are needed for intricate details from NS.
• IFTTT and Pushover are needed for Not Looping alerts.

And there are some functions I've always wished for and not found anywhere such a one-time temporary alert for those nights when Loop is stuck on high and you open loop with a correction. This lets you set a higher low alert for the BG you want to wake up to and close Loop.

Building Options

Please see Loop and Learn: Loop Follow for all the building options.

General feature list

• scrollable/scalable graph display with BG, basal, bolus, and carb details plus Loop status, Loop Prediction, and the General NS Care portal info.
• Override DND and system volume for all alerts.
• snoozes per alert, presnooze, edit existing snooze, and snooze all alert settings.
• the standard Low/High, Urgent Low/High, and missed reading alerts. High will have a persistence option that’s still to do. Eg high for x minutes.
• fast drop/rise alerts with BG limits. Eg Trigger fast drop only when under a BG where it’s an issue.
• sage/cage reminder alerts for x hours before change.
• Not Looping with Bg limits alert. So you can trigger the alert only if under or over a BG range.
• Missed Bolus alert.
• calendar entries to use watch complication with BG, arrow, delta, cob, iob and minutes ago (if old reading).
• background silent audio to keep iOS from killing the app. This is why it can’t go in the App Store for just a simple download.

Open Source DIY

• This is a DIY open source project that may or may not function as you expect. You take full responsibility for building and running this app and do so at your own risk.
