FDA OKs new automated insulin dosing app for type 1 diabetes EndoTwitter
"The [FDA] authorization of the Tidepool Loop is a huge win for the type 1 diabetes community and is a vital step towards a world where people with T1D can choose the pump, CGM, and algorithm that are best for them — and have all three work together seamlessly," Aaron Kowalski, PhD, CEO of the advocacy organization JDRF, said in a statement.
Available by prescription only, the Tidepool app is for single patient use. It works with designated"integrated CGMs" and"alternate controller enabled pumps" to automatically increase, decrease, or suspend insulin delivery, based on the glucose readings and predicted values. The app can also recommend correction doses, which the user can confirm.
Tidepool is finalizing agreements with the various device manufacturers"to create a seamless experience for both physicians prescribing Tidepool Loop and the patients using it," according to a company statement.
