I’ve been using Trio since the release of .2 last month. I’ve actually given a normal bolus 2 or 3 times. Every other meal I just give it a very rough carb, fat, and protein count then Trio takes care of the rest. I’m hitting 97% to 100% in range with an aggressive BG of 120.
Been running this since the dev release, my TIR is up 30% plus. I love the live activity too so I can see my sugar without opening my phone. Thanks Theresa, thanks Magnus. Great episode Justin
@@darrelld3605 I’ve used omnipod 5 for over a year and can say trio is way better for me. That 67% TIR was with omnipod 5. I think pump manufacturers should stick with just making good pumps. The whole algorithm thing should be separate and allow the person to choose what works best.
I use Loop for my 5 year old son. In Loop it is important to enter carbohydrates correctly. We usually have a problem with correctly estimating the amount of carbohydrates, which is why he is often high. In Trio the UAM function works great. It prevents highs due to inaccurate entries, stress, or snacking. If Trio has TrioCaregiver 🙂for remote commands we will definitely switch from Loop.
A version of Loop Caregiver for Trio is in the works. It won't be a carbon copy of Loop Caregiver, but we hope to add some of the same functions that Loop caregivers find useful!
Only on pumps that have been reverse engineered. Currently, Trio is compatible with Omnipod Dash, Omnipod Eros (discont), and older Medtronic pumps. Soon Dana and Medtrum will be added to the list, but not quite yet.
Do you need to useiAPS or is Trio just another app option that you need to build? Sounds good and I would like to try it. Thanks for this video, Justin.
Trio is separate from iAPS. If you’ve used Loop, the build is the same for Trio. One of the Loop developers ensured the same build options from Loop are also available for Trio.
I’m currently using Omnipod 5 + the iPhone app and using Dexcom g6. Next up, Mobi, then I want to try out Medtronic 780g. I also may go back to InPen for a little bit. Will probably come back to Trio after all of that so I can truly compare it all!
I don’t eat carbs, I eat carnivore. Do I still need to enter a carb amount at mealtimes or can I just enter the fat and protein for possible bolus? I currently add “fake carbs” on Loop.
With UAM (Unannounced Meals) combined with Autosens or dynamicISF, you shouldn't need to enter fake carbs. You can enter carbs, fat, and/or protein for meals and it will convert the fat and protein into future carbs equivalents so the algorithm utilizes your carb ratio at future times. What some are able to do is only enter the macros and let the algorithm handle the rest through micro boluses (SMBs). Others, like Magnus, only enter an estimated bolus and let UAM handle the rest. Then, some like myself, do not enter anything and let the combination of UAM and dynamicISF take care of it all. What works for you is individual, but there are multiple ways to handle meals with Trio.
@@defiantt1d this sounds great! It’s been trying not eating carbs but still having to enter them to keep a stable bg. But as far as building, I follow tge Loop Docs but use Trio codes. Is that correct?
If the app is not FDA approved, how do you get around Medicare requirements that they will only pay for insulin using approved devices? Do you have to pay for your insulin out of pocket?
My insurance pays for my Omnipod Dash pods, insulin and cgm. I don’t use the PDM. I just use Loop or in this case you can use Trio to administer insulin through these apps.
@@Vivd90 I built the Loop app. Then when it was time to change my pod, I setup the new pod on Loop. I don’t use the PDM any more. I keep it handy though incase I need to replace a pod since many have said that Insulet asks for the PDM serial number. I get more accurate dosing with the Loop app and my iPhone replaces the PDM
There is work being done to port the Android Medtrum Nano drivers used in AndroidAPS to iOS (so Trio, but theoretically also Loop), but that will definitely be a lot of work until it's there. Not in the near future.

It really sounds amazing. DIY solutions for diabetes care seem so much better. At the same time, I would like to know more how what sort of diet Theresa follows. Theresa, do you eat a "normal" diet, or do you evade foods with a high glycemic index in order to have the fully automatic mode to work?
I started using AAPS 30 days ago using the Omnipod and the G7. I am on average 80 to 90 % in range. I don't bolus very often. I eat a normal diet, and I don't worry about glycemic indexes or low carb. Life's too short for that, especially if you've have T1 for 55yrs like me. I eat sweet stuff, like cakes sometimes. I maybe eat a couple of slices of bread a day, and as I am a veggie I do eat quite a lot of carbs, being pasta, rice etc. But I don't really eat a huge amount and I have never used much insulin anyway. I normally use about 14 to 17 units in a day, basal/bolus included and it's been that way for most of my life with T1.I know for some people it changes but not for me. Before I started on AAPS closed loop, I was between 50% and 70% in range. Like Theresa said in the video, I don't worry too much about whether I am 90% or more in range. I'm quite happy being in the 80% figure somewhere.
@ForceFreeTrainergirl06 It is interesting that some people use relatively low doses although that is of course depending on body weight as well. Of the top of my head the average type 1 insulin use is around 0.6 U per kilo body weight. Glad to hear AAPS system works so well too.
