For me, those features were always very gimmicky. When you arrive at the gym, you should've set the basal rate lower at least an hour ago. So it's not going to help unless you stay for multiple hours.
The meal detection mentioned is similarly lagging behind. For people who don't manage to tell their APS when they eat carbs, yeah it helps, but the outcome is not comparable to dosing before you eat.
I also found the calibration features to be too fiddly. Between sensor noise, sensor offset, and calibration, when they try to adapt the situation already changed.
I guess these features work better with a very regular lifestyle, which I lack :-) And while I don't like having to micro-manage some aspects, like carbs, I appreciate that AndroidAPS reduces my mental load quite a bit and enables living days that are never the same regarding exercise or meals.
- tracker1 3y agoI'll say, one thing I really appreciate about the fad aspects of Keto as a diet, is that there are a lot more low carb options out there. Of course, ymmv with various fiber varieties and low/no calorie sweeteners in practice. Makes it a little easier to keep carb load minimal. I still do far better sticking to eggs, meat and greens, but it's hard to do.
- lolc 3y agoCan relate as I lived borderline keto for a while. That was nice as my sugar was very stable. Then I decided carbs are nicer. And sure, sweeteners are the better option for drinks. Still prefer my dessert with some sugar.
