Solving Diabetes with an Open Source Artificial Pancreas
summary
An open source artificial pancreas runs a 5‑minute CGM feed (Dexcom) into code (OpenAPS/LoopKit) that commands insulin pumps via a RileyLink radio bridge or a small Raspberry Pi/Edison device, automating basal adjustments but leaving meal boluses to the user. Components: CGM, translator, pump, battery and tiny computer. Users report multi‑month A1c drops (into the mid‑4s to 5s), sensors lasting 7–21 days, and active loops preventing lows on stage (OpenAPS, LoopKit).
