Tandem called me today to tell me that when Control IQ is released it will be a free software update. The rep told me that “free” was announced at Tandem today and should be on the website. I don’t see that announcement on the Tandem website yet, but saw the following online:
> **[Tandem Diabetes Care Announces No-Cost Software Updates for t:slim X2 Insulin...](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20190801005977/en/Tandem-Diabetes-Care-Announces-No-Cost-Software-Updates?fbclid=IwAR25lYrYaNJdNwn7MWwiXgvtK--hG_AwnsUxpsfos_ZJKJxXIuDYPdHRuwo)**

Control-IQ has been submitted to the FDA for approval, and it’s described a bit in an article at [https://diatribe.org/tandem’s-control-iq-hybrid-closed-loop-algorithm-submitted-fda](https://diatribe.org/tandem%E2%80%99s-control-iq-hybrid-closed-loop-algorithm-submitted-fda)
