This guide explains how to use T1Pal services safely and reliably with your OS-AID system. This is discussed during your Account Setup meeting. A slideshow version of this guide is attached
Thank you for choosing T1Pal!
Email and account communication
- Monitor all email accounts linked to your Apple ID and Google ID for messages about TestFlight apps and your T1Pal.com login.
- Programs and websites you use to read email can be configured for multiple accounts
- Refer to the documentation for what you use to enable this.
- To prevent these emails from being filtered, add them to your known contacts.
- All communication regarding your T1Pal account, billing, and Nightscout subscription is sent to your Google ID.
- All communication about your TestFlight apps (Loop, Trio, Caregiver, Loop Follow, etc.) is sent to the Apple ID used with those apps.
Payments, cancellations, and app access
- If a payment fails, five notification emails are sent. If the payment is not resolved, your Nightscout subscription is automatically cancelled.
- Cancellation means you must reconfigure Nightscout, Loop, and Caregiver.
- I will send you instructions so you can do this yourself.
- You can also schedule a workshop for assistance.
- T1Pal does not automatically revoke access to your Loop app; it will continue working until the TestFlight build expires.
- You can check the remaining time until expiration in the TestFlight app.
- Missed Zoom workshops will incur a $25 fee if not canceled at least 24 hours before the scheduled date.
- The first month of billing for a Loop app support subscription begins when you schedule your training sessions.
- You can cancel your subscriptions at any time.
- No refunds will be given for your first month's subscription after training is scheduled.
TestFlight updates and instructions
- Apps are usually updated or refreshed around the beginning of each month, but exact timing can vary.
- When an app is refreshed to extend the expiration date, you will receive a notification at your Apple ID.
- Always read this notice for important information.
- If the description reads “Please continue testing,” no action is required; your app will update automatically.
- If the message differs, carefully follow the instructions in that email to avoid interruptions to insulin delivery.
Workshops and Zoom sessions
- When scheduling a workshop, read the Calendly description to understand what to expect and how to prepare.
- In some cases, failing to follow these directions may require rescheduling.
- Whether joining from a desktop computer or a phone, the Zoom Workplace app must be used.
- The Web Browser version will not work for our purposes.
- Please test your Zoom apps prior to the workshop using https://zoom.us/test
- Join Zoom workshops from a location with:
- A stable, high‑speed internet connection
- Adequate privacy and minimal distractions
- Do not join a workshop from a vehicle, whether parked or moving.
- Ensure your phone is at least 50% charged.
- Workshops cannot be extended if another client is scheduled immediately afterward.
- T1Pal cannot support critical tasks (such as Loop app installation) if these conditions are not met, for safety reasons.
Support, emergencies, and scope of help
- Always email support at support@T1Pal.com rather than sending messages to an individual mailbox at Medical Data Networks.
- The individual mailbox is not monitored for client requests due to a high volume of automated messages, and those emails may not be easily identifiable.
- Emails to support@T1Pal.com are monitored closely during and beyond normal business hours, but T1Pal does not provide emergency support.
- For any life‑threatening situation, contact your physician’s office or emergency services immediately.
- If your situation is urgent but not an emergency, add “URGENT” to your email subject line.
- A faster response cannot be guaranteed, but your ticket will be prioritized during review.
- T1Pal is not a clinical service and does not recommend specific device settings.
- I have no medical credentials and will never provide medical advice or guidance.
- T1Pal’s role is to show how your OS-AID system works and how to find the information you need so you can work with your credentialed care team to adjust settings and take action under their direction.
