Basals

[x]final (most recent) basal[ ]basal rate interval with a start time, duration "guessed" from settings, rate delivered, and an annotation re: the "guessed" duration OR[x]basal rate interval with a start time and rate, no (= zero) duration
Device-specific? (Add any device-specific notes/additions here.)
- Flat-rate basals are terminated after five days.
- To calculate percentages for temp basals, you need to know the active basal schedule at the time. It's not enough to look at the previous or next basal, as those may be zero/suspended. The Animas data model does not tell us which scheduled basal is being suppressed, and also does not provide a history of active basal schedules.
- A basal is categorized as suspended basal if its rate is zero and its start falls within a suspend/resume event. As only the 30 most recent suspend/resume events are stored, we can't be sure if older basals with zero rate are suspends or not.
- As the device needs to be suspended before uploading, we always have the final (most recent) basal and its duration.
Boluses

[-]agent/reason for bolus cancellation
Device-specific? (Add any device-specific notes/additions here.)
- With combo boluses only the total amount delivered is available. As such, all immediate and extended portions will appear with a 50:50 split.
- When a combo bolus is cancelled, we also show the total amount delivered as a 50:50 split between immediate and extended portions, since the individual amounts are not provided.
- If a combo bolus is cancelled, we don't know the actual duration, so it is set to zero and annotated with
animas/bolus/unknown-duration - Animas provides bolus delivered amounts with three or more digits precision, but rounds it to the nearest 0.05 in their UI

[ ]time changes (presence of which is also in the BtUTC section below)[ ]device display timefrom(before change) andto(result of change)[ ]agent of change (automaticormanual)[ ]timezone[ ]reason for change (read from device)
Device-specific? (Add any device-specific notes/additions here.)
- Animas does not generate suspend/resume events for alarms, so we check if an alarm occurred recently or at the same time. If so, we mark the basal as suspended and generate a new suspend event.
- Animas only provides data on prime events (tubing/cannula), each with a specified delivered amount. It's possible to change tubing or prime without changing the reservoir. As such we cannot determine when reservoir changes/rewinds happen.
- Animas does not provide time change events, which means UTC bootstrapping is not possible
SMBG
[x]blood glucose value[x]subType (linkedormanual)[x]units of value (read from device, not hard-coded)[ ]out-of-range values (LO or HI)[ ]out-of-range value thresholds (e.g., often 20 for low and 600 for high on BGMs)

Device-specific? (Add any device-specific notes/additions here.)
- Glucose values from meter as are always in mg/dL, as the field used only accepts values 0-1023.

Device-specific? (Add any device-specific notes/additions here.)
The Animas pumps also have settings for:
[-]bolus delivery speed[-]number of basal schedules enabled in pump GUI[-]max total daily dose[-]max 2-hr limit (only for some pumps)[-]occlusion sensitivity level (NB: possibly other pumps have this setting too, in which case we should consider promoting it to a common setting even if we don't have a data model for it yet - research needed!)
Some settings are available in both mg/dL and mmol/L; we'll have to decide which to read and upload. One may be better than the other if it's clear that the device is using one as the original and then converting to the other.

"Bootstrapping" to UTC
[ ]index[ ]UTC timestamp (Hey, one can dream!) OR[ ]internal timestamp or persistent log index (across device communication sessions) to order all pump events (regardless of type), independent of device display time OR[ ]ephemeral log index (does not persist across device communication sessions) to order all pump events (regardless of type), independent of device display time
[ ]date & time settings changes[x]usecommon.checkDeviceTime(currentDeviceTime, timezone, cb)to check against server time
Device-specific? (Add any device-specific notes/additions here.)
- Animas does not provide time change events, which means UTC bootstrapping is not possible. Log indexes are ephemeral and specific to a record type.
