| ## February Food Events | ||
|
|
||
| We have 3 big events in February that center around food. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Chinese New Year | ||
|
|
||
| While we don’t have Chinese New Year specific articles, the principles in our Super Bowl and Valentine’s Day articles apply. Lots of carbohydrates are consumed and often, lots of fat. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Super Bowl LVIII | ||
|
|
||
| Kick off is at 6:30 p.m. ET/ 3:30 p.m. PT on Sunday, 11 February. Here are some great tips to help manage your blood glucose while you enjoy the [Super Bowl Party](https://www.loopandlearn.org/big-game/){: target="_blank" }. Go, Team! | ||
|
|
||
| ### Valentine's Day | ||
|
|
||
| Chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate... and a few other indulgences... this is what many of us enjoy around [Valentine’s Day, 14 February](https://www.loopandlearn.org/vday/){: target="_blank" }. We’ve got you covered! | ||
|
|
||
| ## New Shortcut to Log a *Nightscout* Treatment | ||
|
|
||
| A new shortcut, [Treat](https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/d757898ce5284de08bcc39cbe07aee3d?fbclid=IwAR0HnlJPAxZtJK3XYDpTxCo1-DDlsUCTwrnc03pGAS_4fDt9goNBYLgQKhk){: target="_blank" }, specifically crafted for children and/or their caregivers, is now available. With this shortcut, low blood sugar treatments can be logged as a **note** in *Nightscout* directly from an iPhone, *Apple* Watch or *Siri*. This is especially important when treatments are not recorded in the *Loop*/*iAPS* app. (There are cases when users do not want the treatment logged in the app but those monitoring remotely need to know if low glucose has been treated.) The **note** is visible in *Nightscout*, facilitating remote monitoring by parents and caregivers. This enhances T1D management communication, helps in identifying treatment patterns, and can help indicate the need for adjustments in diabetes management settings. | ||
|
|
||
| To use (once you install it): | ||
|
|
||
| * On iPhone: Find the shortcut in the Shortcuts app and tap to run it. | ||
| * On Apple Watch: Add the shortcut to your watch face or the Shortcuts app and tap to execute it. | ||
| * Via Siri: Activate by saying “Hey Siri, log low treatment” or a custom phrase set during the shortcut setup. | ||
|
|
||
| When setting up this shortcut, you’ll be asked to enter: | ||
|
|
||
| * *Nightscout* Website Address: The full URL of your *Nightscout* site (e.g., https://yoursite.herokuapp.com), where the shortcut will log treatment entries | ||
| * API_SECRET for *Nightscout*: The API_SECRET (password) for the *Nightscout* site, be sure to enter it without trailing spaces | ||
| * Your Name: The name of the user (child with T1D or caregiver) for identification in treatment logs | ||
|
|
||
| Important Note: | ||
|
|
||
| Information logged via this shortcut is visible on your *Nightscout* site as a **note** and can be viewed with compatible apps like LoopFollow, without affecting the *Loop*/*iAPS* app operations. | ||
|
|
||
| > This shortcut is based on contributions by Katie DiSimone and Daniel Mini Johansson. | ||
| If you have never used shortcuts before, refer to [*LoopDocs* Shortcuts](https://loopkit.github.io/loopdocs/nightscout/remote-commands/#shortcuts){: target="_blank" }. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Lock Your Phone | ||
|
|
||
| * Lock your phone before you put it in your pocket, purse or backpack so that no accidental button pushes will occur | ||
| * Be sure to lock your phone after delivering a bolus, so that you won’t accidentally cancel it | ||
| * Check back to make sure boluses or other actions you have taken went to completion | ||
|
|
||
| ## Check Your Battery | ||
|
|
||
| [Loop Follow](https://www.loopandlearn.org/loop-follow/){: target="_blank" } is one of our recommended apps. It has many useful features, including a wide array of alarm capabilities - great for T1D kids, caregivers and T1D adults! | ||
|
|
||
| We want to be sure you know that it uses a lot of battery and recommend that you check your usage often and be sure to charge your phone more often when using it. | ||
