Another cartridge failure. There was less insulin in the cart, but I don't think it was quite empty like last time, but likely a discrepancy as to what remains.
So 2 sessions in a row while using temp rates with CIQ+ I had this failure. Prior to that, a session without using the feature went flawlessly.
I'm going to run this next session without the temp rate feature again.

I love that CIQ+ allows me to temp basal now.
I feel like using temp basal is better for a correction when BG isn’t excessively high. CIQ wills till adjust as needed so a bit safer than just taking a straight bolus. It’s a bit slower though.
If my BG is high, though, a correction bolus is still better.
But it’s good to have more control over this.

I did a small experiment this morning.
Since I can now set temporary basal rates with CIQ, when I woke up, before getting out of bed (I often just lay for a bit), I set a 150% basal rate for half an hour. I was above target anyway.
It seems to have blunted my typical FOTF!
I suspect this is how my body would prepare for a cortisol spike, normally.

So Control-IQ+ has 2 main changes that, not only is discussed in press releases, but is part of the update training.
First, the ability to set a temporary basal rate while CIQ is enabled. Previously, this required turning off CIQ.
Second, the ability to do an extended bolus up to 8 hours instead of just 2 hours.
But there were also notes of nebulous “algorithm adjustments" with no details. I think I've run into it being a bit more aggressive to basal rates in response to BG climbing. My BG tends to climb many hours after having some wine (alcohol effect on liver, etc), usually while I'm sleeping, and sleep mode doesn't allow automated correction bolus, so only allows basal rate adjustments. I noticed in the visualization that basal rates looked more aggressive and the high BG didn't last nearly as long as it had in the past.

Mobi wasn’t getting CGM updates and I had no indication prior to the update nor after that anything would have to be done about this.
So… to you Mobi users out there… You might have to reconnect your CGM. It’ll start off indicating it’s doing a warmup again, but the next update interval should show all missed data being pulled in.
Mobi is now updated! Looks like the app update to support the new functionality was probably what came with the update 2 weeks ago, or was already there waiting. So the app already supports the new functionality.
Previously, when going to the temporary basal rate action it would stop you if you had Control-IQ enabled. Now you can set temp rates.
Apparently I should be watching for an update to my Tandem Mobi.
Control-IQ+ is supposed to be rolling out this month.
