 The longer answer is that Loop code is updated periodically to include new features and bug fixes.  When those updates are released, you'll need access to an Apple computer again to update your Loop app.  Loop updates are not available through the iPhone's app store...instead you do the app upate yourself with [update instructions here](https://loopkit.github.io/loopdocs/setup/update/updating/). In general, probably a few times a year there are updates to Loop released that you'd want to take the time to install.
 
+## Can I use a VirtualMachine to build?

+Yes, you can. These documents will not provide instructions on how to do that however. You'll need to figure that part out on your own.

 No. Loop will have the option to move between different pump types from within the same Loop app.

 For Medtronic users, you simply go back to old school pump use until you get a new RileyLink. You can either let your temp basal finish by itself (30 minutes or less) or cancel the temp basal on the pump's menu. For bolusing, you'd go back to using the pump's blus commands. When you get a RileyLink (either finding your old one or getting your backup RileyLink out) and Loop running again, you'll want to do one thing. Enter in any carbs to Loop that you may have eaten in the recent past that could still be affecting blood glucose. While Loop will read whatever insulin deliveries had happened while the RileyLink was missing, it will not read any carbs you entered into the pump...so make sure to add those to Loop and backdate them to the time they were eaten. That will help make the transition smoother to Looping again.
 
-For pod users, your pod will finish any currently running temporary basal rate and then revert back to your scheduled basal rate. Without a RileyLink, you will not be able to affect any pod use; no basal changes, suspends, or boluses. If you only have a backup RileyLink, you can simply connect to the new RileyLink on the same Loop app and it will work with the existing pod session. If you don't have a backup RileyLink, you'll have to remove the pod and start a new pod paired with your PDM until you get a new RileyLink.

+# CGM FAQs
+
+## What CGMs does Loop work with?
+
+Loop works Dexcom G4 with share, G5, G6, Share and the Medtronic CGM systems compatible with Looping pumps.
+
+Read the details [here](https://loopkit.github.io/loopdocs/setup/requirements/cgm/) for details.
+
+## Can I use Libre sensors with a reader like Miao Miao?
+
+If you want to use a sensor, such as Libre, you will need to modify Loop to accomplish that use. Loop code does not natively support that sensor, nor reader. 
+
+## Can Loop read CGM data from Nightscout?
+
+Loop does not read from, nor upload to, CGM data for Nightscout. You would need to use a solution such as NightscoutShareServer and make changes to Loop code in order to do that. Please search the Looped group in Facebook for posts regarding that option, as it is not a part of standard Loop use and is a community-based modification. You will need to do your homework and research to make that happen.
+
+## Can Spike or Xdrip be used with Loop?
+
+Spike and Xdrip are not supported by Loop. You will need to implement community-based modifications to Loop in order to use those apps with Loop. Please search the Looped group in Facebook for posts regarding those options, as they are not a part of standrad Loop use.

 ## Is Omnipod supported on Loop?
 
-No, not yet. Omnipod has been in the process of being "hacked" for several years now and this has been a tremendous amount of work. The work has been fruitful...but it is not ready for public release yet. When it is ready, we promise to update these documents with instructions and information about Omnipod Loop.

 ## Which pods will work with Loop?
 
-The Loop system described in these documents (aka DIY Loop) will work with Eros pods...these are the current pods on the market in wide release.  The newer DASH pods will not be compatible with DIY Loop.  Tidepool has begun a process to bring [DIY Loop through FDA approval](https://tidepool.org/blog/tidepool-delivering-loop) and Insulet has been announced as the [first pump partner for that project](https://diatribe.org/omnipod-first-insulin-pump-partner-tidepool-loop).

 ## Do I still need a PDM with Omnipod Loop?
 
-No, pods are monogamous little creatures. They will pair with only one device at a time for safety reasons...so a pod is either paired with a PDM or your Loop app on your iPhone. When Loop is ready for Omnipod, it will not use a PDM...and in fact you cannot use a PDM for a pod that has been activated with Loop. That doesn't mean you should get rid of your PDM. You should still keep it around in case your lose your phone or lose your RileyLink. You'd want to swap out to a new pod and pair it with the PDM if you lose a critical part of your Omnipod Loop gear.

 Insulin will remain suspended until the user either clicks on the "Tap to Resume" command from Loop's main screen or the "resume delivery" command accessed by tapping the pod age icon. Once insulin delivery is resumed, you will be resumed at your scheduled basal rate. If a bolus was interrupted, the bolus will not resume. If you don't turn on open loop mode, within 5 minutes of resuming insulin delivery, your Loop should resume automatic temp basal adjustments.

Without a phone or RileyLink however, you will not be able to affect any pod use; no basal change, suspend, or bolus. You will need to remove the Loop pod and put on a new pod paired with your PDM until you can get a new RileyLink and/or phone.

 ## Is there an increase in pod failures on Loop?
-Yes, likely there will be an increase in your usual pod failure ("screaming pod") rate. The pod communications are a bit "neurotic" and full of safety checks to make sure the pod and PDM/phone are on the same page. Recreating these safety checks and communications have been the reason why the development of this pump on Loop has been so long and cumbersome. There are built-in pod errors within the pod's firmware so that it errors (screams) anytime it is uncertain of its status. With Loop communicating every 5 minutes with the pod, this increases the chances of a pod "scream". You should make sure you have adequate pod supplies long term to cover this potential increase in failure. As well, you should make sure to travel with backup pods day-to-day (although you are probably already doing that).
+In the early stages of development, there were. Thankfully to the hard work of Pete Schwamb and others, pod failure rate is now no longer increased compared to typical pod use with a PDM.
 
 ## What do you do to stop a screaming pod?
-Screaming pods can be silenced by carrying a paperclip. Simply put the paperclip in the small hole that is on the bottom (the side opposite where the cannula is) of the pod as shown. Push the paperclip in until you hear a little click, that click is breaking the circuit that let's the audible scream go.

-    Loop with Omnipod considered an experimental feature branch. People using an experimental feature branch should expect issues and be willing to participate in reporting and capturing any observed issues. The branch will be likely updated at a more frequent rate than a stable branch would be to push bug fixes. Therefore, testers should also be willing and able to regularly update their Loop app to capture those updates. Testers should ensure they have adequate supply of replacement pods in case of an increase in unexpected pod failure due to Loop testing.
