Best Free Alternatives to Must-Have Mac OS Applications Bellow you can find a list of applications which are alternatives to paid applications. The application are not related to professionals like photoshop and office, but mainly applications which will improve the use of your Mac OS.

  • Loop is an app you build yourself and load on your iPhone (or iPod)
  • Loop assists in the many insulin dosing decisions people with diabetes face every day
  • Loop uses a compatible continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and is paired using the RileyLink protocol with your compatible pump
    • Loop works with older Medtronic pumps and the Eros (not Dash) Omnipods
    • Loop requires a RileyLink compatible device to communicate between the phone and pump

What CGMs work with Loop?

The Loop app works with Dexcom’s G4, G5 and G6 CGM. For Medtronic users, Loop also works with first generation Guardian and Guardian 2 Medtronic sensors compatible with the 522, 722, 523 and 723 pumps. There are other versions of Loop available that may work for you if you are not using one of these specific CGMs. These other versions (known as forks) are created by Loop users and are maintained by them. This document does not cover those other CGM options, but check out the Community Information below.

Important

Please understand that this project:

  • Is highly experimental
  • Is not approved for therapy

You take full responsibility for building and running this system and do so at your own risk.

The Loop algorithm on your phone predicts future glucose based on carbohydrate intake, insulin on board, and current CGM readings. You enter your own settings for desired correction range, basal schedule, insulin sensitivity factor (ISF), carbohydrate ratio (CR) and the type of insulin you are using. The glucose predictions, using your settings and meal entries, provide Loop with the information needed to recommend a bolus or temporary basal rate to attain a targeted glucose range in the future.

The system can either operate “open-loop” where insulin delivery recommendations must be enacted by the user or “closed-loop” where modifications to insulin delivery are enacted automatically.

You may be saying, 'I can't build an app.' But the wonderful volunteers in this community prepared this amazing website with step-by-step instructions containing pictures and arrows (say thank you to Katie DiSimone). The website is updated by more volunteers as improvements are made to the Loop app and when Apple makes changes to its iOS, Xcode and macOS environment. This language may sound scary, but it will become easier. Most people who Loop want to keep looping, so they learn the terminology and how to reach out to mentors for help.

Once you've built the app, plan to learn to use it in stages. First, run “open loop” to familiarize yourself with Loop’s operation. This allows you to understand why Loop is making certain recommendations and determine if you need to adjust your Loop settings.

One thing many new users ask is why do my settings need to be different for Loop? The main reason is that Loop uses a realistic insulin model including the long tail of residual insulin activity - and updates its calculations every 5 minutes. This is a different way of thinking about insulin delivery. Other strategies, e.g., assuming a linear fall-off model for insulin activity, correcting 2 or 3 hours after a meal, trading a higher basal rate to avoid worrying about snacks, etc. will not work. There is a whole section on settings - just giving you a heads up.

When you progress to “closed-loop”, do so safely by starting with conservative Correction Ranges and Delivery Limits and only progress to more aggressive settings after several days of no lows. Please ask questions at this point about why Loop is making the recommendations it does. It should be similar to the therapy decisions you would make yourself. If the recommendations it makes are different than you would make, try to figure out why. Hint - it is probably your settings.

Stay in the Loop!⌁

There are a number of social media options. (Read the directions on each of these - some ask you to answer questions - please do so):

  • The fastest way to get help (with the most mentors) is The Looped Facebook Group.
  • There is another group, Loop and Learn, that has a lot of Loop-centric information, a T1D Speaker Series covering many topics of general diabetes interest as well as Loop-specific chats, alerts whenever there is an update to iOS and Xcode, Quick Tips and articles written by mentors providing their Loop experience.
  • Both the Looped and LoopandLearn Facebook groups provide support for some Loop forks, which support other CGM, as well as other DIY closed loop options.
  • Many Loopers use the Nightscout tool to assist them in monitoring their settings in Loop. The fastest Nightscout help can be found in the original #wearenotwaiting community CGM in the Cloud.
  • For those not interested in Facebook or interested in what is coming next for Loop, join Loop Zulipchat and be sure to subscribe to all the streams or you'll miss some interesting conversations.
  • Note - please only post a question in one group on Facebook or under one stream on zulipchat - many mentors monitor more than one place. If you don't hear an answer in 24 hours, then try a different place. On Facebook, leave your question posted after you've gotten an answer, but edit the original post to say it's been resolved. This prevents mentors from needing to read all the answers to see if you've been helped. Others may have the same question and will read your post.

For those interested in delving deeper, see the next few sections.

Information for Coders⌁

Loop is an app template for building an automated insulin delivery system. It is a stone resting on the boulders of work done by many others.

The app is built on top of LoopKit. LoopKit is a set of frameworks that provide data storage, retrieval, and calculation, as well as boilerplate view controllers used in Loop. Using the open-source Loop app template, you can build an insulin delivery system that uses specific commercial and open-source hardware and software technologies to bring together the insulin pump, continuous glucose monitor (CGM), and insulin dosing algorithm to create a DIY automated insulin delivery system. This version is known as Loop.

For more information on how to contribute to an open-source project, please review:

  • Review the Loop LICENSE
  • Review the Loop CODE_OF_CONDUCT

Then if you want to contribute, please join Loop Zulipchat and be sure to subscribe to all the channels. Meet the developers and testers who make this app the life-changing tool that so many people use. Learn about what is coming next.

Prerequisites

Install compiler tools

If you want features such as application profiling or monitoring, you may need to install compiler tools before you start. See Installing compiler tools for more information.

Set directory permissions

Warning: Changing privileges like this is appropriate only on your local development system. Never do this on a server system.

To install Node and StrongLoop , you need permissions to write to directories:

  • /usr/local/bin
  • /usr/local/lib/node_modules

If you see errors such as:

Then you don’t have the required rights to create files or directories. Either change the rights for the specified directories, or run the command using sudo. In general, it’s better to fix the directory rights as follows:

Loopday Mac Os Catalina

This command makes your user account the owner of the /usr/local directory. Then you won’t ever have to use sudo to install Node or install packages globally with npm. For more information, see How to Node.

Warning:DO NOT use the above chown command on the /usr/bin directory. Doing so can severely misconfigure your system.

If you have to use sudo, use the following command:

Install Node.js

Mac

If you haven’t already installed Node, download the native installer from nodejs.org and run it.

Tip: For best results, use the latest LTS (long-term support) release of Node.js.

Loopday Mac Os X

Install StrongLoop

Follow these steps:

  1. Open a Terminal window.

  2. Enter this command:

    $ npm install -g strongloop

    If you didn’t set your file and directory privileges as instructed above, use this command (not recommended):

    $ sudo npm install -g strongloop

    Note:During installation, you may see a number of errors from node-gyp if you don’t have compiler tools installed. You can ignore the errors for now.
