The github repo https://github.com/openaps/openaps https://github.com/openaps/openaps includes a description of some of the things the project can do. One of them is "predict - Can make predictions about what should happen next." All diabetics ever have is a rear facing indicator, fortunately it's not really true that you can't predict the future when it comes to blood glucose. The simple equation is `exercise + carbs + current blood glucose level + insulin on board` along with all the attributes that make your body respond to artificial insulin the way it will. The system doesn't really need to predict the future to be a massive improvement on where diabetics already are thanks to slow moving organizations like the FDA. With appropriately cautious buffers around when to shut the insulin pump off a huge majority of diabetics will rarely see a low blood sugar. The technology is here, we just have to summon up the will to move medicine forward.
