Summary
The Tandem Mobi insulin pump with Control-IQ+ technology and Dexcom G7 CGM shows safe and effective real-world use in over 29,000 users. High CGM availability and time in range were observed across all age groups.
Area of Science:
- Endocrinology
- Medical Devices
- Diabetes Technology
Background:
- Limited real-world data exists for the Tandem Mobi insulin pump with Control-IQ+ technology, especially with newer sensors and diverse populations.
- Previous evaluations were based on small, early access studies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the real-world performance and safety of the Tandem Mobi insulin pump integrated with the Dexcom G7 continuous glucose monitor (CGM).
- To assess the effectiveness of the Control-IQ+ automated insulin delivery algorithm in a large, diverse user population.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of data from 29,265 users of the Tandem Mobi pump and Dexcom G7 CGM system.
- Inclusion criteria required at least 30 days of system use, tracked via the Tandem Source web application.
- Inclusion of data from customer service check-in surveys for postmarket surveillance.
Main Results:
- High CGM availability (median 97.8%) and closed-loop time (median 94.1%) were achieved.
- Median time in range (3.9-10.0 mmol/L) was 70.8% for adults, 62.3% for older children, and 59.5% for younger children.
- Low time below range (<3.9 mmol/L) at 1.4% and high user satisfaction reported for pump usability and algorithm performance.
Conclusions:
- The Tandem Mobi insulin pump with Control-IQ+ technology and Dexcom G7 sensor demonstrates safe and effective use in unsupervised, at-home settings.
- The system provides reliable performance and positive clinical outcomes across various age groups.
- Real-world data supports the efficacy of this integrated diabetes management system.

Insulin: Dosing Regimen and Adverse Effects
Insulin-replacement therapy usually includes both long-acting insulin (basal) and short-acting insulin (to cater to postprandial needs). In a diverse group of type 1 diabetes patients, the average daily insulin dose is typically 0.5-0.7 units/kg body weight. However, obese patients and pubertal adolescents may need more due to insulin resistance.
The basal dose constitutes about 40%-50% of the total daily dose, with the rest as premeal insulin. The mealtime insulin dose should mirror...

Insulin Formulations: Types and Delivery
Insulin preparations are categorized by their duration of action into short-acting and long-acting types. Two strategies are used to modify insulin's absorption and pharmacokinetic profile: slowing the absorption post-subcutaneous injection, or altering human insulin's amino acid sequence or protein structure. These changes retain the insulin's ability to bind to the insulin receptor, but alter its behavior in solution or after injection.

Diabetes: Management and Pharmacotherapy
The therapy for diabetes aims to alleviate hyperglycemia-related symptoms, prevent acute metabolic decompensation, and reduce chronic end-organ complications. Glycemic control is evaluated through short-term (self-monitoring, continuous glucose monitoring) and long-term (A1c, fructosamine) metrics, enabling near real-time tracking of blood glucose levels and reflecting glycemic control over specific time frames.

Type I Diabetes I: Introduction
Type 1 diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by an absolute deficiency of insulin resulting from the autoimmune destruction of pancreatic β-cells. Although it can occur at any age, it is most commonly diagnosed in childhood, adolescence, or early adulthood. The loss of insulin production impairs cellular glucose uptake, resulting in persistent hyperglycemia and necessitating lifelong insulin therapy.Autoimmune Destruction of β-CellsThe hallmark of type 1 diabetes is an...
Type II Diabetes I: Introduction
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by insulin resistance, in which target tissues such as the liver, muscle, and adipose tissue respond poorly to insulin. It is also associated with inadequate compensatory insulin secretion, where pancreatic β-cells fail to produce sufficient insulin. Together, these abnormalities lead to persistent hyperglycemia.EtiologyT2DM develops through a complex interaction of genetic predisposition and environmental or...
Complications of Diabetes Mellitus
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by persistent hyperglycemia due to insulin deficiency, resistance, or both. Prolonged hyperglycemia disrupts metabolic homeostasis and leads to acute and chronic complications.Acute ComplicationsAcute complications result from sudden metabolic imbalance.Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) mainly appears in type 1 diabetes but may also develop in type 2 diabetes, particularly under extreme stress. It arises from severe insulin deficiency,...
