2018 is a new year for Chris Lewis #NightscoutforMedtronic and the 670g AutoMode

Posted on January 27, 2018 by admincml

Well Folks,

I’ve decided to switch to the Medtronic 670g after running Loop. Loop is the DIY artificial pancreas system I used last year staring in March, and throughout the year. This system has been amazing to my diabetes and over all health. The creators of Loop, Riley Link and Nightscout have done amazing work for the T1D community.

POC March 2017 Post Race Update Buttonwillow Raceway Artificial Pancreas

Posted on March 13, 2017 by admincml

Overall a very successful race weekend! I qualified 10th for the race, finished 8th overall, and was first place in my class.

The video below is my Final Lap where I shave 3 seconds off my previous lap, and set the Track Record!

Thank you to all who donated to my cause. I not only set the Guinness Book World Record as the first type 1 diabetic to race with a closed loop artificial pancreas… but it looks like I may have set the track record for my class, too. 🏁

In my hand is my iPhone running the Loop iOS app (Artificial Pancreas).
A Medtronic Insulin Pump from 2013 and a RileyLink. This is my Closed Loop DIY Artificial Pancreas.
 
The artificial pancreas is designed to oversee and adjust insulin delivery as needed. It uses a platform that features a reconfigured smartphone running advanced algorithms that is linked wirelessly to a blood-sugar monitor and an insulin pump that the patient wears, as well as a remote-monitoring site. #WeAreNotWaiting

Nightscout has helped my life tremendously by allowing me to view my blood sugar levels on a pebble smart watch.
