[CGM – continuous glucose monitoring; TDD – total daily dose; ICR – insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio; ISF – insulin sensitivity factor; Boost mode in CamAPS FX is user-initiated and intensifies algorithm-driven insulin delivery for use during periods of high glucose e.g. minor illness, pre-menstrual, growth hormone pulses etc.]
