New pill can deliver insulin

a) The morning peak is a dawn phenomenon. Solved with a higher basal setting 3 hours before waking up.

b) Going to sleep with a 100 mg/dl and waking up in the middle of the night with a glucose of 300 mg/dl? Usually because eating fatty and heavy food for dinner. Depending on your meal, a 150% temporary basal or if looping, letting the oref1 super multi bolus to take care of it.

c) Having a cold and suddenly there is no way to keep your glucose levels down? I use AndroidAPS's profile multipliers here. Last time I was sick I set the multiplier to 160%, which means more basal, more insulin for carbs and correction.

d) Doing sports? Get the insulin on board settings right in AndroidAPS, and try to do exercise only when the IoB is back to the base level. Use 0% TBR if needed.

And still I have an alarm almost every night for a hypo/hyper. Soon closing my loop and letting the automation take care of the nightly surprises. It used to work great with my Accu-Chek Combo pump until the pump broke. Now hopefully getting a Dana RS soon, so I can automate lots of things for the software to take care of.

Personally, I've rarely had an issue with the heat affecting my pump's reservoir - except when I would go skydiving up in the Mojave desert, where temps would reach north of 110 degrees F. Would simply pack it in a bag with a cool pack when I was outdoors, then put it back on once I got to the ground and was back inside.

Since I was in good control, my biggest reason for transitioning to the pump was convenience. I was up to taking 7 injections a day (when I was working from home and couldn't resist the urge to snack). Once I made the switch, I was amazed at the convenience - I could eat almost anything and take the insulin to cover it (of course, moderation is the key here - and knowing how quickly and persistently some foods elevate your blood sugar. For instance, I'd much rather have a snickers bar than Chinese food. The high fat content and the rice carbs wreak havoc on my BG).

Point being, it's well worth looking into it, if you have the means and the desire.

I've been on a Medtronic pump since making the switch, but will likely be jumping over to a Dexcom CGM and compatible pump once my latest pump warranty is up. (I've stopped using the Medtronic CGM due to some hassles with calibration issues; the Dexcom is supposedly more reliable overall).

Regardless, good luck!

From the video:

> If you observe milk protein (casein) under a microscope it will appears as this - there are 17 links in it.

The video says "links", you say "rings". It's a small but important distinction. Proteins are made by linked aminoacids, so sing "link" is a good approximation, but most of them don't look like "rings".

I can't find where the "17" comes from. After a few google searches I found that casein has approximately 210 aminoacids, the number can vary, but it is not 17.

(Also, you can't see a single casein protein under a normal microscope, nor the parts of it. I guess it's only a metaphor, but it makes me suspicious.)

I don't find the part in the video that says that casein escapes to blood. (I didn't try too hard.)

Casein is split in the stomach by the enzymes IIRC they are the regular enzymes that also split the proteins in meat, and other food, not specialized enzymes.

(There is an specialized enzyme for lactose that is an special sugar in milk, but this is not what the video or you say. But if this were dangerous, we'd have a lot of babies with diabetes. Moreover, only some adults produce the enzyme to digest lactose, so it would be easy to test.)

I didn't find a source that says that beta cells have some proteins that are similar to casein. It is posible, but I doubt.

And IIRC most autoinmune diseases, where the body get confused and start to attack some part of it don't go away after you remove the initial agent that causes the reaction. So stopping drinking milk won't stop the reaction.
