I'm running an open source closed-loop system on my iPhone. It controls my insulin pump based on data from a continuous glucose monitor. Those of us that do this don't do it blindly. We see the blood sugar fluctuate and can react if something goes wrong.

Many parents use tools to do this monitoring remotely for their child's system. I believe that if you have access to the source code and possess the knowledge to understand it and debug it, the improvements to the child's life are greater than the risks you take.

The sentence about "emotions and activities" is a little misleading. It reacts to the data from the CGM. But yes, blood sugar changes with emotions and activities. That's the life of a type 1 diabetic, no matter if you use a closed-loop system or not!

I'd hate for the kid to be weeping over Titanic and get od'd with SUGAR.
