The remote features were originally developed in coordination with the development of *LoopCaregiver* and updates to *Nightscout* were added at that time to support these remote features. Subsequent to that, [LoopFollow]() added code to directly send *Apple* push notifications to the *Loop* app, so offers a separate path for providing remote control for caregivers.

## Non-Pump Insulin
62
+
63
+
If insulin is taken from a different source and the user wants to let Loop know, there is a new method in Loop 3.
64
+
65
+
With Loop 2.2.x, the user manually entered the Insulin dose into the Apple Health app. Loop then imported that value.
66
+
67
+
With Loop 3, the "old" method still works, but there is a new method for entering this information. This method enables the user to indicate the type of insulin so that the appropriate model is used by Loop. An updated `Glucose` prediction chart is displayed prior to saving the dose.
68
+
69
+
### Enter non-pump insulin before carbs
70
+
71
+
!!! warning "WARNING"
72
+
If you are planning to enter non-pump insulin to cover carbs and you do NOT want Loop to automatically start increasing insulin based on the carb entry, enter the non-pump insulin first and then add the carbs.
73
+
74
+
To find out what Loop recommends, without actually dosing with Loop:
75
+
76
+
* Wait for a CGM entry (or fingerstick) to appear in the HUD
77
+
* Enter the carbs and continue to the bolus screen, i.e., do not save carbs
78
+
* Note the recommended bolus, but do not actually bolus
79
+
* Back up to the carb entry screen and `Cancel`
80
+
* Go to the non-pump insulin screen and enter the bolus amount you've decided to take, and select the model if it's different from your pump
81
+
* Don't forget to actually take the insulin
82
+
* Add the carb entry and save the carbs without bolusing
83
+
84
+
1. Tap on either of the insulin charts (Active Insulin or Insulin Delivery) on the home screen to display the `Insulin Delivery Screen`. This screen has 3 tabs.
85
+
***Event History** (default) lists delivery events from the Pump (does not include times when pump is returned to Scheduled Basal Rates)
86
+
***Reservoir** This is the reservoir level reported by the attached pump. Pods are treated differently from other pumps because the reservoir does not begin to report until the pod has reached 50 U or below. You may see the previous pod reservoir levels following a pod change.
87
+
***Non-Pump Insulin** injections can be recorded or edited here
88
+

+
2. Select the `Non-Pump Insulin` tab to bring up the graphic shown below
90
+
* Tap on the + sign (green solid lines)
91
+
*`Log Dose` screen is displayed showing the current `Glucose` prediction
92
+
* The default insulin type is that used by the pump
93
+
* To modify Insulin Type, tap on that row (red dashed lines)
94
+
* Picker wheel allows other insulin types to be selected
95
+
* Note that some insulin types, such as Afrezza are only available for non-pump insulin selection
96
+
* Tap on the `Bolus` row (blue dash-dot lines) to bring up a keyboard
97
+
* The `Glucose` prediction chart updates automatically based on the value entered in the Bolus row
98
+
* Tip, add 0.001 to the actual dose to make it easier to see if reviewing in Apple Health
99
+
* Once the user selects `Done` on the keyboard display, the entered value is displayed on the `Bolus` row, and the `Log Dose` button changes from gray to blue
100
+
* Tap on `Log Dose` to record or `Cancel` to quit
