We explore Android APS (AAPS)—a powerful open-source automated insulin delivery system that runs on Android phones and uses the advanced o-ref algorithm. AAPS offers features like Dynamic ISF (Insulin Sensitivity Factor), Dynamic CR (Carb Ratio), Unannounced Meal detection (UAM), and Super Micro Boluses (SMBs), making it one of the most customizable diabetes tech options out there. Our guest, Austin Sympson, a competitive cyclist with type 1 diabetes, shares his experience after three months on AAPS and what it's like getting started. We dive into why he switched from commercial systems, the setup process, and how he uses Temp Targets and his Garmin smartwatch to stay in range. Let us know if you use AAPS or Open Source apps and how it's going in the comments ⬇️
