Well this is exciting for those of us who have been waiting: an official announcement with a timeline. Hopefully it’s accurate.

This is great news!
The CEO has mentioned a few times that it was in the cards, but, finally, this is the official announcement: that’s great.
We all need more choice. And I want Tandem to be successful (even though we don’t use their products at this time): we need more pump manufacturers! So I am keeping my fingers crossed that Canada will be a good market for them.

I know I’m definitely not the only Canadian who’s been waiting. So I hope it’s a good market, too.

I am very excited that Tandem is coming to Canada! The t:slim X2 would have probably been my first choice to switch to from Animas, but now that I have been testing out the Omnipod for 2 months I don’t know…would I want to go back to tubes? Big decision looming…

Either way you will have made a great choice. Between those two there are no wrong choices.
