Dexcom Hybrid Closed Loop Insulin Pump Study in Type 1 Diabetes

The Tandem Control IQ hybrid closed loop insulin delivery system is made up of an externally worn Tandem insulin pump which communicates wirelessly to the Dexcom G6 CGM worn as a patch on the skin. The CGM measures glucose levels transmitting them into the computer within the pump. The computer then calculates how much insulin is required then dose delivery completes the cycle. The Control-IQ™ advanced technology adjusts insulin delivery to avoid glycaemic excursions, while still allowing the user to manually bolus at mealtimes.
