Discussion of Tandem's recently released Basal-IQ function

Reported to be two conditions either of which can stop insulin delivery (assuming stop of both extended bolus and basal).

  • Projected BG below 80 within 30 minutes
    or
  • BG below 70 now and falling

When BG values begin to rise, insulin delivery is resumed.

User choice whether to be alerted or for this to happen quietly (no alerts)

In terms of the Control-IQ forecast for launch Summer of 2019, this will include automated correction boluses for which the 670g does not offer and for which the 690g is scheduled for a trial with this being a significant feature of the 690g. Info on the 690g is kind of sketchy at this point.
