Update meal label, proposed remedy for Issue #2168 by marionbarker · Pull Request #2300 · LoopKit/Loop

Status

I suggest this button change be accepted for now with potential updates coming at a later time.

  • Final wording on the button is "Save Carbs & Deliver"

Discussion

I had a discussion with some Tidepool folks:

  • They were concerned that the button change alone would not be sufficient to solve Avoid unnoticed carb entries #2168
  • I agreed to explore adding messages that indicated that "If carbs were added, they were saved"
    • After looking into this, my suggestion is to just make the button change for now

There are 2 places where added messages can happen

  • Uncertain comms modal alert
  • Bolus Issue alert

One negative of this approach is the carbs saved message would be displayed for any bolus or uncertain comms issues.

Option: Modify uncertain comms modal message

If I implemented this, it could look like the graphic below, where the new text is underlined to make it easy to find.

updated_unacknowledged_save_carbs

Option: Add to the Bolus Issue alerts

Default screens are seen in the previous comment for some Bolus Issue alerts.

  • I tried adding the sentence to the alert in the body of the message but the message truncates and important information is lost
  • I then tried modifying the title of the alert, i.e., alert title changed to "Bolus Issue (Carbs Saved)" and was not convinced and even this is truncated with larger text sizes
