Fellow T1D here. Switched to a pump (tslim) 2 years ago, which is a stock/market semi-closed loop requiring no homebrew when paired with Dexcom.
Works pretty well in that it keeps things in range when not eating/exercising. Nights in particular now are chill, no more waking up in sweat.
Unfortunately the pump vibrates/alarms far too much, causing notification fatigue. I don't even look at them anymore. I wish there was more information in the vibration pattern: just morse code or something, so I can know what the pump is saying without having to do 3 taps to unlock and see whether it's just telling me something I know already. I wish the developers had to dog feed their product.
The LibreLink app allows me to use different alarm tones for lows and highs, and I'm _still_ getting alert fatigue. To the point that my wife needs to ask "is that your phone telling you you have a hyper?" for me to actually start doing something about it, sometimes.
I disabled all the alarms on my libre 2 (which incidentally is why I won’t be going to the 3). Doing so explicitly puts the responsibility back on me where it was all along.
