What is this text about?
The text below talks about technology that allows people with type 1 diabetes to better control their blood glucose using a wearable device and apps
Problematic
I often forget my phone for Android APS (yes, the main iPhone so…). Therefore, I wondered if it was possible to install an artificial pancreas in the hours so that much less often or preferably never to forget it again.
After a little searching on the net, I came across article, where a person tested the technology and I decided to repeat the path he had traveled, and at the same time update and adapt the text in Russian (although Yandex translator certainly works perfectly).
I start writing this article only after opening the above article and below I will show you all the way to how I set up my IPJ in the watch. For my artificial pancreas, I use the AccuChek Spirit Combo pump, I measure my blood sugar with the Dexcom G6.
Choosing and buying watches
For the test, the author purchased a Lemfo Lem12Pro watch running Android 10 (to see if it is possible to run AndroidAPS 2.8.2 on it, since it requires Android 8 at a minimum level). However, in the process, it turned out that the charge lasts only 12 hours and it also offers models with larger batteries, but the same OS, namely:
Model |
Battery size |
Comments |
1100 mAh |
Same size as Lem12 Pro, with a large battery |
|
900 mAh |
Same battery as Lem12 Pro, with newer chipset |
|
1600 mAh |
2.1-inch screen, so it’s very large on the wrist |
|
1260 mAh |
The size is similar to the Lem12 Pro, but with a larger battery |
I am captivated by the water resistance of the Lemfo Lem14 (I hope that the battery will last for 14 hours, that is, from 10:00 to 00:00, which is acceptable for me). However, I found out that this model has been discontinued and so I look further and opt for the Kospet Optimus 2, as they have an acceptable size and are on sale. I find them on Avito – a couple of pieces are available in Russia. This one Reviewer I quite liked the seller. Both ads are posted today, as if especially for me. Let’s take it as a sign.
After some persuasion from the seller, he finally decided to send them to me via delivery from the Novosibirsk region
Acceptance of Watches
The watch is received and a large battery capacity plus special. The power bank that comes with the kit gives me hope for long-term operation
Starting to Set Up the Clock
-
After resetting to factory settings, log in to your Google account
-
Install AndroidAPS. My AAPS includes the advanced OpenapsAIMI module by Matthew from France (I’ll publish it here if it resolves)
-
I can’t set the settings because I don’t see the confirmation buttons when importing the settings. To solve this, you need to shorten the file name to a single character
-
Successfully mating with the pump
-
I install xDrip and update to the latest version
Don’t forget to enable local data streaming in xDrip settings (Settings – Application Integration Settings) -
I switch the sensor from my android phone (there is a long connection here, but it’s worth waiting)
-
I’ve disabled all power-saving restrictions on the watch, including (System Optimization -> Auto-Delete Task -> It should be green, then click on the text and turn the button for our apps to a gray state). I didn’t find how to uninstall apps from OS Battery management, but disabled Battery Saver itself in the Settings – Battery menu (Battery)
-
Also in Settings – Display, you should enable Lift to wake so that the watch starts when you raise your hand
-
xDrip doesn’t stream data to AAPS, and without waiting for the data, I couldn’t stand it and still uploaded a more adapted version of xDrip from the community. After half an hour, everything started working and the broadcast to AAPS began.
-
In the first stages, I encountered xDrip blades from the transmitter, but so far I have been observing. It seems that this version of the application demonstrates permanent blades on the 52 m day of operation of the dexcom g6 transmitter. However, in the evening, the dumps stopped and I decided to do moreMonitor this version of the application.
-
If the dumps continue, I will try to solve the problem by putting self-built Dexcom app
-
It is also necessary to disable Counting steps from watch – then the steps will be taken into account and displayed correctly
First conclusions
A few days of use showed that by the evening there is 50% of the charge left (I don’t recharge the watch during the day). I no longer see blades from xDrip after full optimization
In general, my feelings are extremely positive – it made my life much easier, I don’t carry a backpack where I used to store the second phone, and my blood sugar no longer rises due to the fact that I forgot the second device, which was also very uncomfortable for me personally (Galaxy S8)
Proposal
If you need such a device, then message me on Telegram And I will help you order, set up such a device and send it to you in any city in the world
Questions I Pose to the Community
1) Can someone help edit the app so that the settings can be exported? For the confirmation button to be displayed correctly?
