Have you seen our Instagram series, `24 for '24`, that kicked off on 15 December 2023?

This is the last session of this year.
We are sharing 24 Resolutions to help you end 2023 and begin 2024 in good `loopy` style! Look for daily posts on [*Instagram*](https://www.instagram.com/loopandlearn/) and [*Facebook*](https://www.facebook.com/groups/LOOPandLEARN) to join us in finding new ways to learn about and enjoy all things `Loop`!

#### Time Zone Converter
## Using the *xDrip4iOS* App with Version 3.2.3 of the *Loop* App

Need help figuring out when an event happens in your time zone? Try the [SavvyTime: UTC Converter](https://savvytime.com/converter/utc).
Did you recently upgrade to Version 3.2.3 of the *Loop* App?
Did you lose access to the *xDrip4iOS* option for CGM?

### Video Replay
Follow these directions to restore that capability:

Many sessions are recorded. The full list is found here:
* [Browser Build: Adding CGM Clients to 3.2.3](https://www.loopandlearn.org/custom-code/#add-lnl-patches)
* [Mac-Xcode Build: Adding CGM Clients to 3.2.3](https://www.loopandlearn.org/custom-code/#add-cgm-323)

* Recorded sessions at&nbsp;[<span translate="no">LOOP and LEARN</span>&nbsp;YouTube Channel](https://www.youtube.com/c/loopandlearn)
Why can't I just use Apple Health? Why do I have to add CGM options?

### Thank You
* Without adding this customization, your *Loop* app will stop working as soon as the phone is locked
* The *xDrip4iOS* App can write to *Apple Health* when the phone is locked
* The *Loop* App can not **read** from *Apple Health* when the phone is locked

A huge THANK YOU to all who have made our informal discussions a great success! Started by Carol Vachon in August 2023, when she decided to have a spontaneous Zoom session, they have grown into a staple for LnL and really enhanced our sense of community.
## Browser Build Certificate Renewal

## The *Loop Caregiver* App
What do I do when I get an email from Apple saying that my certificate will expire?

The *Loop Caregiver* app was updated on 2023 December 8. It provides for lockscreen widgets, which require the addition of a `LoopCaregiver App Group`. The Build with Browser instructions have changed. The Mac-Xcode Build instructions are unchanged, but you should get a fresh download.
Follow the updated instructions in LoopDocs.

* [`LoopCaregiver` Widgets Guide](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Np4jusdXZERiAWZsz6QyF3b1FxT_ingJEw7R97632Hk/edit#heading=h.jn3e5xg75sf)
* [Updated Browser Build Instructions](https://loopkit.github.io/loopdocs/gh-actions/gh-other-apps/#update-to-build-with-browser-for-the-loop-caregiver-app)

The link above informs you of the one-time update needed for Browser Build. In summary:

1. `Sync` your `fork`
1. Run `Add Identifiers`
1. Follow instructions to create and add a `LoopCaregiver App Group` to all `LoopCaregiver Identifiers`
1. Run `Create Certificates`
1. Run `Build LoopCaregiver`

## The *Loop Follow* App

> Early Christmas Gift Alert for Parents!
We're thrilled to announce an update of the *Loop Follow* app, released 2023 December 6, especially helpful for parents juggling Type 1 Diabetes management for multiple kids!

Here’s what’s new:

* [Browser Build](https://loopkit.github.io/loopdocs/gh-actions/gh-other-apps/?h=#multiple-copies-of-loop-follow): Build up to three instances - one for each child
* [Enhanced *XCode* Build Script](https://www.loopandlearn.org/loop-follow#lf-script): Effortlessly create three distinct app instances
* Customizable App Names: Personalize each app with your child's name for easy identification
* Visible In-App Display Names: Instantly know which child's data you're viewing

Thanks to Jonas Björkert for this update of the *Loop Follow* app, which will make life easier for parents juggling Type 1 Diabetes management for multiple kids!

## Alcohol Consumption

Here’s an entertaining and informative video by our friends at *TCOYD* about how best to handle alcohol comsumption when living with T1D. Thanks, Drs. Edelman and Pettus!

## Unexpected Diabetes Equipment Failure

It’s always smart to think ahead and be prepared for any unexpected diabetes needs. Most Loop “failures” are when the phone is lost/stolen/drowned, or Bluetooth isn't working. Having Loop built to an accessible backup phone is the best way to get Loop back up and running quickly.

* Be sure to keep a copy of your settings in the cloud so you can access them
* Have a plan for switching to injections if you can't get your pump working
* Make sure your scheduled basal rates are kept current - especially if you are using a system that dynamically adjusts settings
