IC (or I:C) = Insulin to Carb ratio. (i.e. how many carbs are covered by one unit of insulin?).

IOB = Insulin On Board. Insulin active in the user’s body.

ISF = Insulin Sensitivity Factor. The expected decrease in BG as a result of one unit of insulin.

LGS = Low Glucose Suspend. AAPS will reduce basal if BG is dropping and if BG is rising, then it will only increase basal if IOB is negative (from a previous LGS), otherwise basal rates will remain the same as the user’s selected Profile. The user may temporarily experience spikes following treated hypos without the ability to increase basal on the rebound. → see also objective 6.

Log files = AAPS’ records of the user’s actions (useful for troubleshooting and debugging). Further info → Wiki - »log files«.

maxIOB = maximum total IOB. This is a safety feature and prevents AAPS delivering insulin over the user’s settings. Further info → Wiki - »SMB«.

min_5m_carbimpact = safety feature that is a calculation of default carb decay when carb absorption cannot be determined based on the user’s blood’s reactions. This is a safety feature. Further info → Wiki - »config builder«.

Nightscout = open source project to access and report CGM data. The central data hub for the user’ AAPS data and can generate reports to view the user’s historical NIghtscout data expected HbA1c, time in range) or search for patterns in the data via percentile chart etc.

Nightscout → see also Nightscout Reporter. This is particularly useful for parents following their child’s diabetes management.

Nightscout Reporter Tool = a tool which generates PDFs reports from Nightscout web app data. See »Nightscout Reporter«, »NS Reporter« @ Facebook.

NSClient ( or ‘AAPSClient’) = see AAPSClient.

OpenAPS = Open Artificial Pancreas System.
