CASE STUDY #3 – When everything goes wrong... and the loop still recovers
This case involved multiple problems happening at the same time: • Nightscout connection interruption • Incorrect prebolus timing • Temporary loss of visibility for the loop • Additional carbs added during uncertainty At that moment, the family thought the situation was turning into a disaster and glucose would likely climb well above 250 mg/dL. Screenshot #1 Predictions suggested a significant rise and many people expected glucose to go well above 250 mg/dL. Screenshot #2 About 15 minutes later the picture looked completely different. The loop regained visibility, insulin activity became clearer and the expected glucose spike never happened. Instead of climbing far above 250 mg/dL, glucose stabilized and the system started recovering control. Key lesson: Predictions are not outcomes. Many people would have stacked corrections here and made the situation worse. Sometimes the best intervention is allowing the loop to do its job. This is a good example of why isolated screenshots can be misleading. Context, insulin activity, carbs, system visibility and timing all matter. The first prediction looked scary. The actual outcome was very different. What would you have done after seeing Screenshot #1? Discussion: What would you have done after Screenshot #1? Wait and let the loop work? Or add a manual correction? 👇
