How this explorer works
A shared physiological engine. Four system adapters. One structured starting point for discussion.
This is an educational explorer of AID algorithm behaviour. It is built from clinical trial data and real-world patterns, and models how these systems behave on average across populations. It is not a prescription, not a medical device, and must not be used as either. It does not know your individual physiology, your device history, or your clinical context.
The explorer uses a shared physiological engine to generate exploratory output ranges for four AID systems. The same core calculation drives all four — the adapters apply system-specific framing on top of it.
The 1-to-5 level selector maps to different concepts per system:
| System | Primary lever | Level 5 (very high) | Level 1 (very low) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Control IQ | Responsiveness level | 60% basal, sleep 24/7, CF 90 | 40% basal, sleep usual hours, CF 110 |
| Medtronic 780G | Responsiveness level (AIT is set by the level) | Very high: target 5.5 / 100, CF 90, very active | Very low: target 6.7 / 120, CF 110, conservative |
| CamAPS FX | Target glucose | Target 4.4 / 79, boost max, CF 90 | Target 7.0 / 126, boost off, CF 110 |
| Omnipod 5 | Calibration band (educational) | 150–200 mg/dL, user-tightest, CF 90 | 250–300 mg/dL, algorithm-led, CF 110 |
Output 1 is carbohydrate informed. Enter daily carbohydrate intake to generate it. Output 2 is rule based and always shown.
Both outputs are directional starting points for education and discussion. They are not prescriptions. They describe what tends to happen on average — not what will happen for any individual. They cannot substitute for individual clinical review by your diabetes care team.
Note on Omnipod 5: The calibration band is an educational expression layer in this framework. It is not a real device parameter in the Omnipod 5 app.
Note on CamAPS FX: Basal and bolus fractions are physiological anchor estimates from the shared engine. They are not CamAPS-specific device parameters.
User input
Enter the core details below. Daily carbohydrate intake is optional and generates the carbohydrate informed output when entered.
Output 1 · Carbohydrate informed exploration
If daily carbohydrate intake is entered accurately and is reasonably consistent, this method is likely to generate carbohydrate ratios that are more aligned with the individual.
| Time block | Basal rate per hour | Carbohydrate ratio | Correction factor |
|---|
This output uses the entered daily carbohydrate amount to estimate meal related carbohydrate ratios across the day. Values are exploratory, based on population-level clinical data, and are for education and discussion only. They are not a prescription and must not be used as one.
Output 2 · Rule based exploration
This method uses total daily dose and insulin sensitivity bands to provide a broader exploration range when carbohydrate intake is unknown or less consistent.
| Time block | Basal rate per hour | Carbohydrate ratio | Correction factor |
|---|
This output provides a rule based range for exploration, derived from population-level clinical data. It is intentionally less precise than the carbohydrate informed method. Values are for education and discussion only. They are not a prescription and must not be used as one.
Educational explorer only. This tool models AID algorithm behaviour based on clinical trial data and real-world patterns. It is not a prescription, not a medical device, and must not be used as either. All outputs describe population-level averages — individual responses vary considerably. Any changes to your insulin settings, device configuration, or diabetes management must be discussed with and guided by your diabetes care team.
