When you’re ready to begin DIY-Looping, we’ll schedule a follow-up appointment to receive 1 year-long access to the app I’ve built and guidance on how to use the system.

Know someone who might be interested? If you know anyone who is interested in trying out the Loop software and needs support getting started, feel free to send them my way! As most of you know, the setup process is much more seamless these days compared to what it used to be!  

How you can support: 

Keeping Loop up to date still involves time, effort, and resources, including the annual $99 fee for the Apple Developer account.

Many people out there charge for access to the app they've built, I choose not to. I began my looping journey through the support of the T1D family I used to nanny for. Using the DIYLoop system changed my life in the best way, and that's why I pay it forward. 🙏

If you’ve found value in this and feel inclined, I’d be deeply grateful if you’d consider buying me a coffee or making a small donation to help offset these costs and support the work I do to keep everything running smoothly.

 FAQs

  • A compatible phone, CGM, and insulin pump supplies. Check compatible options on the Git Hub Loop Doc Pages.

    I use Dexcom G7, Omnipod Dash Pods, my iPhone 13Pro, and Apple Watch Series 8.

    Omnipod Users, Please Note:

    The DIY Loop system is compatible with DASH pods, not yet Omnipod 5 (until further notice, 1/27/24)

  • Yes!! You can dose insulin, input carbs, set one of your own "modes" like exercise, menstrual, etc. You can also see the amount of "active carbs" and "active insulin" calculated to be in your system through the information input into the app. You can view your blood sugar trend line on a graph with a predicted glucose value. Needless to say, you can keep your phone in your pocket.

  • Every 90 days. When I update the app, the updated version becomes automatically available for you to “update” in TestFlight. I send out an e-mail to all the users in my Loop Group to notify you that the updated version of the app is available.

  • Nope, not anymore - as long as you are Looping using Dash Pods. Your entire insulin delivery management system is in the app on your phone.

  • No, it is not. Please please please, ensure your doctor is writing a prescription for Omnipod DASH pods and not the 5! Because DASH is not the newest system, you may have to be on your doctor about writing the correct prescription for pods.

  • If you like freedom, flexibility, and precision in your insulin dosing and blood sugar management, I would say the DIY Loop system is probably a great fit for you. If you also prefer the most up-to-date technology and compatibility between your devices and diabetes management systems, it's probably time to join the #WeAreNotWaiting community!
