I am very pleased with this news.
I like getting periodic SOLID updates as to progress being made as opposed to a company which may keep things quiet and under wraps with a big SURPRISE at the end. I don’t need surprises. I like to know that real progress is being made.
I understand things take time. But it is nice to know that the time is being spent and we are continuing to get closer to the goal. In this case, the goal is a Tandem update for a Hybrid Closed Loop (HCL) which currently has a launch goal of the first half of 2019.

It’s good to have an update, but they did not give any results of the study! The only update is that the study is completed.

I think the results usually trail the study end date by some months.
