The Medtronic 670g is the only pump that currently will automatically correct highs, but it only works with the Medtronic CGM which is untrustworthy. The Tandem t slim x2 only has support for hypo prevention today, but it supports at home firmware/software updates and they are pretty far along with the FDA on getting approvals for their auto dosing for highs. They anticipate a release this summer. I wish that OmniPod was further along on this front. I would love to have a tubeless solution and the convenience of not needing to disconnect every time I'm going to get in the water, but the trade-off just isn't worth it IMHO.

If you can to get the right pump, I highly recommend compiling one of these apps. Just wipes out all the competition from the commercial axis, truly life changing apps if you learn how to use them. https://github.com/MilosKozak/AndroidAPS/ https://github.com/MilosKozak/AndroidAPS/ https://github.com/LoopKit/Loop https://github.com/LoopKit/Loop

  These open source projects, written by people who actually have Type 1 are light years ahead of doing what I want a closed loop system to actually do. The medtronic 670 is so unusable. I can't say enough good things about OpenAPS AAPS (android) and Loop(iphone). For those living in the US, we are forced to use a very old medtronic pump because it's the only way with a programatic means to control the pump's basal and bolus actions.

OmniPod support is coming to AndroidAPS. Development has already started. https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Getting-Started/Future-possible-Pump-Drivers.html https://androidaps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/EN/Getting-Start...

  Yeah, I noticed that. I went and took a look to see how the project was coming along after you reminded me of it. I would be seriously interested in a closed loop Omnipod, but it will be awhile before I’m eligible for a new pump under insurance.

    I was kind of "lucky" Animas went bankrupt and they will take all the pumps back paying money for the insurance, so I get a new Dana RS earlier in a couple of months.
