Spike calibration guide: Spike calibration, https://cyoung1024.github.io/spike-guide/calibration/
- Do not use this branch with rechargeable transmitters for Dexcom & Spike
- Always have alarms enabled for both lows and highs (also fast drop & fast rise)
- Read and follow the Spike calibration guide for every calibration
- Disable automatic boluses until you are able to get a good calibration
- Calibrate properly and often check the values reported by Spike against values from a glucose meterIf you are using Dexcom rechargeable transmitters please use Spike in follower mode, with the Dexcom app as primary collector of data. This is because recently there have been cases of rechargeable transmitters providing inaccurate data. The Dexcom app has safety mechanisms built in, while Spike will report any data it reads from the sensor.
What are the problems with rechargeable transmitters?
- Multiple users reported noisy data.
- If the transmitter's battery nearly runs out it will read HIGH. It is extremely important to use the Dexcom app and Spike in follower mode to avoid this issue. If you're using Spike directly with the rechargeable transmitter, Loop will deliver large boluses due to the erroneously reported increase in levels.
This branch is a merge of https://github.com/LoopKit/Loop/tree/automatic-bolus and https://github.com/Andrei0105/Loop/tree/dev-spike.

Loop is an app template for building an automated insulin delivery system. It is a stone resting on the boulders of work done by many others.
Loop is built on top of LoopKit. LoopKit is a set of frameworks that provide data storage, retrieval, and calculation, as well as boilerplate view controllers used in Loop.
Please understand that this project:
- Is highly experimental
- Is not approved for therapy
Please visit the Loop Docs for installation, algorithm, and other details.
