Control IQ Review Tool
Time in range <70% (Hyperglycaemia)
- Check infusion sites i.e., 2nd or 3rd daily cannula changes, check for lumps.
- Bolus related: ICR too weak, missed boluses, confidence with carb counting.
- High sensor glucose levels overnight or in between meals: Set sleep mode, adjust basal rates, strengthen ISF.
- Over treatment of hypoglycaemia – remember half usual glucose treatment.
- Consider creating a Sick Day profile with increased basal rates (20-30% extra) for sick days, premenstrual days etc.
Time below range >4% (Hypoglycaemia)
- Bolus related: ICR too strong, late boluses
- Activity related: consider using exercise mode or disconnect pump
Adjusting carb ratios
Basal Rates: Manual basal rates provide a “launching pad” for the automated basal in CIQ. It’s important for an accurate algorithm to keep these reflective of auto-basal levels.
ICF: Insulin correction factor impacts the auto-corrections, bolus calculator and the automated basal in control IQ. REMEMBER smaller ratio is stronger!
