All Loopers

These pages have a lot of detailed Loop information.

And a lot of detailed information about Status and Commands for:

Medtronic Users

You must select Insulin Type on your pump settings screen after updating from Loop 2 to Loop 3 and completing the onboarding. Without an insulin type, closed loop will not work.

Please be informed so you can Loop safely.

Consult with your health care professional regarding your diabetes management.

Open Source

  • The Loop app is an open source project used by many, but it is not approved for therapy by any government organization.
