The purple line to the right of the blood glucose readings is Loop's predicted blood glucose curve. Watching the behavior of that purple line can help you understand why *Loop* is making decisions regarding high or low temporary basal rates. You can read more on that topic in the [Algorithm](https://loopkit.github.io/loopdocs/operation/algorithm/temp-basal){: target="_blank" } section of *LoopDocs*.

### Is the Tidepool Mobile app only for Loop users?
147
-
The *Tidepool Mobile* application uploads diabetes-related HealthKit data regardless of the source. Loop users store their data in HealthKit, so this is a nice fit. Other diabetes devices (e.g., OneDrop BG meter) and apps (e.g., Spike and Dexcom) also store their data in HealthKit. Some people even manually enter their diabetes data into HealthKit. For all those uses, the <span>*Tidepool Mobile* application</span> will upload the HealthKit data. OpenAPS does not store its data in HealthKit, so this will not upload OpenAPS-related data. However, if OpenAPS users are using Spike app, some integration of information through Nightscout is possible. Currently, OpenAPS SMBs, boluses, and carbohydrates can be uploaded to HealthKit for OpenAPS+Spike+Nightscout+iPhone users. Spike does plan to add temporary basal integration to HealthKit at some time in the future.

So, what will you see after you adjust your basal lower? You will see some of the negative IOB disappear and, as a result, the predicted blood glucose curve will not show such an aggressive prediction for a blood glucose rebound.

In this example, the user's basal rates were lowered across the board. All of the basal rates went down about 0.2 U/hr. It works out to about a 15% decrease, and is pretty standard adjustment for this user due to her monthly hormone changes.

The adjustment to basal rates caused Loop to reevaluate its math. After adjustment, Loop now has a negative IOB of -0.55 units vs the previous value of -1.33 units. This is a more reasonable given the situation. The prediction line with a -0.55 units IOB was not predicting nearly as aggressive of a "rebound" blood glucose rise.

Note: This entire scenario can also be applied in situations where (1) blood glucose has been steady but above target and (2) Loop is holding significant positive IOB, and (3) Loop has been high temping fairly consistently. By increasing the scheduled basals, Loop will recalculate that the positive IOB was actually necessary (not extra) insulin delivery, and the positive IOB will decrease. This will help the prediction curve to more accurately realize that not all the insulin deliveries were being utilized as "corrections" but rather as needed background basal.
