I Built an Artificial Pancreas!
summary
A home-built OpenAPS artificial pancreas runs Debian on my pancreas with a 900 MHz transmitter to talk to a standard pump, pulls five-minute CGM readings into NightScout/MongoDB, runs analytics across minutes-hours-days, and issues temporary basal adjustments rather than boluses. Safety uses user-set hard limits and published algorithms; failure modes revert to manual pump behavior if battery, phone, or internet fails. Measured result: much more time-in-range on logged 24‑hour charts.
