This lower target can help *Loop* be more aggressive: * During stressful events where adrenaline might be causing increased blood glucose * During exercise that may tend to increase blood glucose * During illness that is causing high blood glucose - - -## Workout Targets - -The workout target, when activated, will give a duration choice of 1 hour, 2 hours, or indefinitely. The workout target set greater than your usual correction range is useful to help in situations where Loop needs to be *less* aggressive with insulin delivery. The most common use of the workout target is to set it in advance and during exercise to help minimize IOB going into a workout. While the name is a hint to the most common timing of this override's use, there are other times when it can be helpful, such as: - -* Helping to recover from low blood glucose treatment -* Helping after workouts when still experiencing increased insulin sensitivity -* Helping during illness which tends to lower blood glucose or increase insulin sensitivity - -You can read more about the timing and use of workout targets before/during/after exercise on the [Exercise](exercise.md) page of these tips. diff --git a/requirements.in b/requirements.in index 1c322c0..86a4a93 100644 --- a/requirements.in +++ b/requirements.in @@ -1,5 +1,6 @@ -certifi==2024.7.4 +certifi==2024.12.14 mkdocs==1.6.1 mkdocs-htmlproofer-plugin==1.3.0 -mkdocs-material==9.5.49 +mkdocs-material==9.5.50 +mkdocs-redirects==1.2.2 mkdocs-unused-files==0.2.0 diff --git a/requirements.txt b/requirements.txt index 1f46042..3b56dc0 100644 --- a/requirements.txt +++ b/requirements.txt @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ babel==2.16.0 beautifulsoup4==4.12.3 -certifi==2024.7.4 +certifi==2024.12.14 charset-normalizer==3.4.1 click==8.1.8 colorama==0.4.6 @@ -13,15 +13,16 @@ mergedeep==1.3.4 mkdocs==1.6.1 mkdocs-get-deps==0.2.0 mkdocs-htmlproofer-plugin==1.3.0 -mkdocs-material==9.5.49 +mkdocs-material==9.5.50 mkdocs-material-extensions==1.3.1 +mkdocs-redirects==1.2.2 mkdocs-unused-files==0.2.0 packaging==24.2 paginate==0.5.7 pathspec==0.12.1 platformdirs==4.3.6 -Pygments==2.18.0 -pymdown-extensions==10.13 +Pygments==2.19.1 +pymdown-extensions==10.14.1 python-dateutil==2.9.0.post0 PyYAML==6.0.2 pyyaml_env_tag==0.1
