Using the settings you input, carbohydrates and historical data, iAPS aims to automate insulin delivery to reduce the time you spend managing your diabetes.

More about Justin
Justin was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in May 2021 thanks to the diabetes community on Tik Tok.
Originally, misdiagnosed with type 2 diabetes, Justin posted videos on Tik Tok of his symptoms and what his doctor had him doing at the time - testing blood sugar, taking long acting insulin - when the diabetes community found his videos, they blew up and they told him he had type 1, needed and Endocrinologist, a cgm and a pump. They got him the help he needed and I owes them his life.
