NEW EXPERIMENTAL VERSION FOR CARELINK RECAPTCHA USING BROWSER AUTHENTICATION
Meditronic
-
This is the first version to handle login with CareLink reCAPTCHA. There may be bugs or issues in some cases or on some mobile phones. Data source wizard is no longer available for CareLinkFollower data source. After setting CareLinkFollower data source the CareLink Country must selected, but a username and password are no longer required.
Login to CareLink must be executed by using the Login menu item under the CareLink Patient parameter. Login menu item will pop up the CareLink website login screen in an internal browser window, the login to CareLink must be carried out in here. The login page is a bit difficult to use and inconvenient, the on-screen keyboard may need to be minized to switch between input fields or to press a button or to solve the reCAPTCHA.
Login should be required only once, re-authentication (token renewal) is executed automatically before the last login (token) is expired. Authentication and token statuses are displayed on the CareLink Follow status page in the System Status.
If xDrip app is already installed it is recommended not to uninstall it and to install one of the provided variants, which doesn't conflict with the already installed xDrip app.
This version is really just a first working prototype, long-term usability and stability are not guaranteed!

THE WORLD'S FIRST SELF-ADJUSTING INSULIN PUMP SYSTEM
FOR PEOPLE who have TYPE 1 DIABETES
Now available in the U.K
With well-controlled blood glucose levels is essential to be as close to normal human ranges as possible and help in the prevention of complications in patients with type 1 diabetes.
Since the invention of continuous under the subcutaneous insulin infusion, the aim has been to develop an artificial pancreas, with the ability to use an automated algorithm to deliver one or more hormones in response to blood glucose with the intent to keep blood sugar as close to a prespecified target as possible.
With rapid improvement of continuous glucose sensor technologies has recently allowed progress toward a fully closed-loop, insulin delivery system which I believe the Dana pump can do this now
Around, 2017, Medtronic began producing the 670G insulin pump with Guardian 3 sensor.
When in auto mode, this is a hybrid closed-loop insulin delivery system that automatically adjusts basal insulin delivery every 5 min based on sensor glucose to maintain blood glucose levels as close to a specific target as possible.
