(An Apple Glitch stopped the current app from running.) - -Another reason is that if an auto-update installs overnight, you could end up in a red loop until you wake up and acknowledge the 'what to test' splash screen. This happened to one of our loopers recently: he experienced a red loop for four hours after aggressively correcting for a high. He woke to a *Dexcom* low alarm but snoozed it for 30 minutes without checking [*LoopFollow*](https://www.loopandlearn.org/loop-follow/){:target="_blank"}, as he assumed it was a slow drop and that *Trio* would manage it with zero temping. Nearly half an hour later, he was awakened by an urgent low alarm. When he checked *LoopFollow*, he found that he wasn’t looping and had been receiving scheduled basal the entire time. As an added result, much more glucose was needed to correct the low than usual. - -## *Trio* Tip: Autosens - -[AutoSENS](https://docs.diy-trio.org/en/latest/settings/configuration/concepts/autosens-dynamic.html#autosens){:target="_blank"} is a dynamic adjustment mechanism for insulin sensitivity that operates on a moment-to-moment basis within [*Trio*](https://docs.diy-trio.org/en/latest/index.html){:target="_blank"}. It's important to understand its key features: - -* Real-time Adjustment: AutoSENS modifies insulin sensitivity based on your current physiological needs, changing with each 5-minute loop cycle -* Variability: The AutoSENS value can fluctuate significantly throughout the day, which is its intended behavior -* Impact on Insulin Dosing: It enables the algorithm to make more effective adjustments to insulin delivery based on current conditions -* Relation to Set Profile: AutoSENS always operates as a variation of your configured profile ISF - -**Important Considerations** - -* AutoSENS should not be confused with [AutoTUNE](https://docs.diy-trio.org/en/latest/settings/configuration/autotune.html#autotune){:target="_blank"}, which serves a different purpose -* The AutoSENS value is transient and continually adjusts as your blood glucose levels change -* Never manually adjust your profile settings to match AutoSENS values - -Only consider modifying your settings if: +## *Apple* Developer Agreement -1.
