I’m a little late to the party. Sorry about that, I haven’t been on in awhile. The best pump with the control IQ is the Tandem Mobi. It changed my daughter’s life for the better. I think the Omnipod isn’t good at all. My daughter’s A1c was in the low to mid 9’s while on the Omnipod for 6 or 7 yrs. Once we switched to the Mobi her A1c has been holding steady in the low 7’s for almost a year now. The Mobi is unreal and does everything it says it does and the Cannula is longer than the Omnipod’s so it goes deeper under the skin for better absorption. Good luck!!

I have the G7 (almost one year now). I have a love/hate relationship with it. Yes, it gives me plenty of time to treat a low - I needed that. But I stay high for longer than I think I should (3-4 hours) I think the pump does not treat it quickly enough, so I go in and do a correction bolus. I'm hesitant to do that because I could be messing with the algorithm (I think)

I have Medtronic 780 pump and Gardian sensor. The sensor communicates to the pump and the pump will automatically shut off if blood glucose gets too low or it will deliver insulin if blood sugars high and will continue to do so until BG's get within parameters set.

Control IQ is a Tandem program. So, all new Tandem pumps will have it.

Which insulin pumps offer the Control IQ feature?

The Tandem t:slim X2 insulin pump is the primary pump that features Control IQ technology. This is a tethered pump that's one of the smallest available and can work with a continuous glucose monitor.

Control IQ is part of a hybrid closed-loop system that automatically adjusts insulin delivery in real time. These systems combine an insulin pump, continuous glucose monitor, and computer algorithm to help keep blood sugar levels in range.

The t:slim X2 is waterproof and can hold up to 300 units of insulin, making it suitable for those with higher insulin requirements. You can use it independently or pair it with a compatible CGM for automated insulin adjustments.

When considering this pump, talk with your diabetes care team about whether it fits your lifestyle and insurance coverage. They can help you understand how to use the Control IQ feature effectively for better glucose management.
