<p>The order is important. Sending the <code>Manual <abbrtitle="modify the scheduled basal rate for a pump">Temp Basal</abbr></code> request to the pod is a single command and then the <em><abbrtitle="With a capital L, Loop is one of several do-it-yourself artifical pancreas systems">Loop</abbr></em> app is available for the next command to be entered. The <em><abbrtitle="With a capital L, Loop is one of several do-it-yourself artifical pancreas systems">Loop</abbr></em> app (and pod) will not respond to any pod commands until the bolus finishes delivering; this takes about 40 seconds per unit requested.</p>

<p>Each item provided by the <em><abbrtitle="With a capital L, Loop is one of several do-it-yourself artifical pancreas systems">Loop</abbr></em> app needs a volunteer to decide it is important and develop a method to provide that item. If a volunteer steps up to do this work, there is a long process of discussion and code review before such a modification is considered for the development <abbrtitle="version of code within a single repository or workspace repository">branch</abbr>.</p>
