AID System Explorer

Designed to be used together — by people with diabetes and their diabetes care team — to explore how each AID algorithm responds across different glucose scenarios. Enter the parameters, explore the options, then apply them to the individual circumstances that only your therapeutic relationship can know — personalisation that GNL will never be able to provide. Read the full disclaimer before using this tool.

How this explorer works

A shared physiological engine. Four system adapters. One structured starting point for discussion.

This 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	Basal rate, correction factor and sleep mode	60% basal, sleep 24/7, CF 90 mmol/L (1600 mg/dL)	40% basal, sleep usual hours, CF 110 mmol/L (2000 mg/dL)
Medtronic 780G	Active insulin time and target level	AIT 2h, target 5.5 mmol/L (100 mg/dL), CF 90	AIT 3h, target 6.7 mmol/L (120 mg/dL), CF 110
CamAPS FX	Target glucose	Target 4.4 mmol/L (79 mg/dL), CF 90 mmol/L (1600 mg/dL)	Target 7.0 mmol/L (125 mg/dL), CF 110 mmol/L (2000 mg/dL)
Omnipod 5	Target level and active insulin time	AIT 2h, target 5.5 mmol/L (100 mg/dL)*, CF 90	AIT 4h, target 7.8 mmol/L (140 mg/dL), CF 110

*5.5 mmol/L target available in US only. In Europe, 6.1 mmol/L (110 mg/dL) is the tightest available target.

Abbreviations: CF = Correction factor. AIT = Active insulin time.

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. They are not prescriptions and cannot substitute for individual clinical review.

Note on Omnipod 5: Target level and active insulin time are the primary levers in this framework. They map to the GNL five-level structure as educational representations of how Omnipod 5 responsiveness varies.

Note on CamAPS FX: Basal and bolus fractions are physiological anchor estimates from the shared engine. They are not CamAPS-specific device parameters.

Important — about this tool

This explorer is an educational tool built from population-level clinical data and physiological principles. It shows average responses — not individual predictions. Averages cover roughly a third of real-world responses. The other two thirds fall either side.

This is not a prescription, not a medical device, and does not create a therapeutic relationship. Any changes to your insulin settings or diabetes management must be made with your diabetes care team.

User input

Enter the core details below. Daily carbohydrate intake is optional and generates the carbohydrate informed output when entered.

Age in years

Weight in kg

Total daily dose in units

Algorithm responsiveness (1–5)

Glucose units

Usual daily carbohydrate intake in grams
Optional

These outputs are not personalised. They are statistically reasonable starting points. For about a third of people, the settings will be very effective. For many, they will need tweaking via a theraputic discussioin. Used properly, this tool helps you explore how systems behave and where to begin. It does not replace clinical judgement, experience, or iterative adjustment in the real world.

Output 1 · Carbohydrate informed exploration · IOB model comparison with physiological exposure

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	Carb ratio	Correction

This output uses the entered daily carbohydrate amount to estimate meal related carbohydrate ratios across the day. These values are exploratory and directional only.

Output 2 · Rule based exploration · IOB model comparison with physiological exposure

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	Carb ratio	Correction

This output provides a rule based range for exploration. It is intentionally less precise than the carbohydrate informed method. Values are directional only.

Use this tool for education and discussion, not as medical instruction. Outputs are directional and based on population-level patterns. Individual responses vary. Any changes to settings should be made with your diabetes care team.
