You can always check your HealthKit settings by opening the Health App, clicking on *Sharing* at the bottom bar, scroll down and tap on the row labeled **Apps** and then clicking on the app's name you are interested in, for example, Loop.

Potential conflicts can arise when third-party apps are granted access to HealthKit permissions that may interfere with Loop's specified data permissions.

With Loop 3, it is no longer the default that the *Loop* app reads carbohydrate from Apple Health. This prevents a problem that used to happen where third-party food apps were used to record meals. You can customize your *Loop* app to change this setting, but be aware that carbohydrate entries in HealthKit that were created by non-Loop apps will not be able to customize carbohydrate absorption times nor be edited later if needed.

# Nightscout {: translate="no" }

[Nightscout](https://nightscout.github.io/){: target="_blank" } (NS) is a cornerstone of the DIY type 1 community. It is an excellent tool to remotely view Loop's actions and access insulin and blood glucose data. It allows for easy remote monitoring of *Loop* activities, troubleshooting of *Loop* errors, history of CGM, carbs, boluses, & temporary basal rates, and reports to analyze data trends and patterns. There is a *Nightscout* app in your iPhone App Store, or you can use a web browser to view the data. [Setting up Nightscout for Loop](https://loopkit.github.io/loopdocs/nightscout/new_user/){: target="_blank" } is low cost and fairly quick. Once set up, the site can be accessed by anyone that you share your unique *Nightscout* URL with.

## Nightscout Display
*Nightscout* is highly recommended for *Loop* users, especially those using *Loop* as caregivers. *Nightscout* displays are often the easiest way to troubleshoot *Loop* settings if you are having problems and seeking input from others.

You can access the Reports tab from within your NS settings (the three horizontal lines in the upper right corner of your NS site). There are several types of reports which may be useful to you and/or your health care provider. The report types are listed in tabs at the top of the Reports section, and you can also select the range of dates you'd like any report to cover.

### Example long absorption time bolus

For an example of Loop's bolus adjustments using carbohydrate absorption time, let's take a look at an example meal. This is an example of a long absorption complex carbohydrate meal. This is a mushroom (arborio) risotto dish with heavy cream and cheese ingredients. While some white rice can be fairly quick acting, after several times eating this dish, the family has noticed that the meal tends to have a longer duration of impact on blood glucose. Using a "taco" icon (3 hours absorption) was causing slight low blood glucose soon after eating the meal. Therefore, they have been using the pizza icon to enter the meal's carbohydrate absorption time.

# Endocrinologist and Loop

There is a wide range of comfort within the health care profession for DIY projects and type 1 diabetes. Loop is no different; some health care providers are comfortable and some are distrusting. As with all things health care related, honesty with your health care provider is paramount so that the best decisions can be made.
There is a wide range of comfort within the healthcare profession for DIY projects and type 1 diabetes. *Loop* is no different; some healthcare providers are comfortable and some are distrusting. As with all things healthcare-related, honesty with your healthcare provider is paramount so that the best decisions can be made.

Since using Loop often requires people to secure access to pump supplies that they may not have otherwise have, often times the first conversation about Looping with an endocrinologist will be when trying to get prescriptions for Medtronic or Omnipod supplies. The best approach is to start with objective information. Find out if the clinic has other patients already Looping and whether or not they have concerns from what they have seen. Provide links to the [LoopDocs site](http://loopdocs.org){: target="_blank" } and this site so that your endocrinologist or health care provider can read about the system's algorithm and operations.

Provide links to the [LoopDocs site](https://LoopKit.github.io/loopdocs){: target="_blank" } and this site so that your endocrinologist or healthcare provider can read about the system's algorithm and operations.

Most often the important aspects that need discussion are:

* Loop will revert to normal pump use, within a maximum of 30 minutes, in the event of Loop failure. What happens during failure of the system is the most common concern your health care provider will likely have when initially learning about the system.</br>
* Loop depends on your basal rate, ISF, and carbohydrate ratio settings, just like traditional pump therapy. The conversations will not need to change regarding the evaluation and adequacy of those settings.</br>
* Duration of insulin action is automatically set to 6-hours for the rapid-acting insulin models built into Loop, matching published data for those insulins. The settings in the pump for duration of insulin action are not used by Loop.</br>
* Reasonable values for the suspend threshold and maximum basal rate should be discussed. These two settings are not part of normal pump therapy and should be discussed with your endocrinologist. Typically to start Looping, setting the maximum basal rate not much above your highest scheduled basal rate is an excellent way to get used to Loop and safely double-check that your settings (ISF, carbohydrate ratio, and basal schedule) are reasonably accurate. As you gain experience and confirm your settings, raising the maximum basal rate can help Loop become more effective to correct rising blood glucose more quickly.</br>
* Develop a plan for how you will be providing Loop data to your health care provider in advance. Ask what information they would like to review so that you can have reports ready at each appointment. The usual downlaod of a Medtronic pump or Omnipod PDM will not be sufficient for many clinics once you start Loop. Instead, you may wish to discuss Nightscout or Tidepool data reports to provide the information those downloads would have otherwise provided.</br>
* Develop a plan for how you will deal with pump failure. Many health care professionals will cite the age and out-of-warranty aspects as concerns for Loop users. Having a clear plan, in advance, for how to deal with possible pump failure will help with that concern. The two most obvious steps would be to have a backup pump available and an active prescription for long-acting insulin. A gentle reminder to the clinic that even in-warranty pumps can fail also helps frame the conversation regarding the need to always be prepared, looping or not.
