IDS Monthly Survey: June 2019
LAST MONTH’S SURVEY QUESTION:
In last month’s edition of Diabetes Bites we asked for your opinion on universal government-sponsored Medicare-for-all program:
A. It’s about time! Public healthcare works really well in all other parts of the world.
B. It would be a struggle, but there’s really no other way to fix our healthcare system.
C. I’m OK with it, but only if I can still obtain private insurance as well.
D. Government can’t do anything right. Keep it as far away from my healthcare as possible.
160 People shared their opinion, and there is clearly no consensus.
THIS MONTH’S NEW SURVEY QUESTION:
This month, we’d like to know who you believe will launch the BEST hybrid closed-loop system (which automates some but not all aspects of insulin delivery based on CGM data) in the next year or two?
A. Medtronic (with their 780 system, using a new Medtronic pump & sensor)
B. Tandem (with their control IQ system, using the X2 pump and Dexcom G6)
C. Insulet (with their Horizon system, using OmniPod & Dexcom G6)
D. Beta Bionics (using their “Bionic Pancreas” pump and either Dexcom or Senseonics sensor)
E. Bigfoot Biomedical (using the Asante pump and Libre sensor)
Hi, for some reason I a have never received the newsletter I signed up for months ago? Maybe I did something wrong. But, I would like to receive it unless I have to pay for services. Also, again, maybe I am blind , but I thought you were going to publish your findings on the Tamdem study this summer?
Thank you,
Rick
Hi Rick, keep an eye out for an email from our office manager Nancy to make sure you’re getting our newsletters.
I will forward on your info. We did share the outcomes of Tandem’s Control IQ clinical study on our social media (You can follow us on Facebook or Twitter) But the system has not released for the public so we have not been able to review it yet. as a Tandem user myself you can be sure that as oon as I can get my hands on the system we will let our community know our thoughts :)
