I love this post so much. I'm very grateful for the time the author spent writing it. Thank you!
My dad was Type 2 before he passed. My wife and father-in-law are both Type 1. They both use a Dexcom and an InPen to help regulate insulin.
What's striking about the chart "42 Factors that affect Blood Glucose": There are so many items influencing on this chart that my wife's Dexcom has no information on. Sunburn? Altitude? Hydration levels? The Dexcom is completely oblivious to these factors.
It seems like there is a better model that would do a better job of suggesting insulin levels, but if anything it's input-constrained right now.
