It reads the blood glucose level (BG) from the Navigator CGM. The goal level = 100.
Insulin starts at .5 units per hour. As the algorithm gets data from the CGM, it “learns” how successful it has been.
If the BG is less than 100, then Glucagon is administered. For adults, the general dosing is 10-15 units to raise BG 50 points. It uses this baseline to calculate glucagon dosing for how much below 100.
The other CGM’s are being used to document their accuracy so that the FDA and the manufacturers of those CGM’s can see how accurate they are. This information will be used to validate, or improve the systems.
This is amazing! I am so glad for your constant updates! I WANT this for me! it would change so much and would make things so much better- so much healthier. My BS has been a yo you for the past month and has caused me to feel like crap. LOL- do you remember when we had to pee in a test tube and drop a fizzy tab into it to see what color it was- then compare on the chart?? WOW. i am actually so glad to be able to have experienced the progress that has been made with our disease. You inspire me to WANT more for myself and my family- and for others diagnosed.
