#DIYPS was created in the fall of 2013 by Dana Lewis & Scott Leibrand.
The original goal? To make continuous glucose monitor (CGM) alarms louder. Where we are now: a full, DIY closed loop artificial pancreas that works (!) and is open source for others to use as well.

If you’re interested in a closed loop DIY setup for yourself, please check out OpenAPS.org (especially the FAQ) and read the available OpenAPS documentation. You can also follow OpenAPS updates via #OpenAPS and @OpenAPS; Dana tweets as @DanaMLewis, and Scott tweets as @ScottLeibrand.
This blog now hosts additional perspectives by Dana about life with diabetes, diabetes technology and research, as well as other patient-driven research initiatives and health topics.
