lots of adjustments being made since i entered into SmartGuard Auto Mode sunday evening! i'm not sure if i knew exactly how it would all work!
in effect, when in Auto Mode, the 670g targets a blood sugar of 120. although suspending the pump is still an option, there are no temp basals, only a temporary blood sugar target of 150 that you can set the pump to. in essence, there are no. basal rates. the pump just automatically gives microboluses of insulin (represented by pink dots at the top of the glucose screen) to target a blood sugar of 120.
some odd things that i've had to change since going into Auto Mode include my insulin to carb ratio (previously 1:4 and now 1:5) and my active insulin time (previously 2 hours and now set to 4.5 hours). while i am confident that these numbers were correct for the 670g in Manual Mode, in Auto Mode i've had to make these changes. i have no scientific explanation, and i'm still testing to see if these changes will work out.
meanwhile, though, know that the robot pump did not take my life. please send me any questions that you have!
