How does Control-IQ technology work? In this video, we explain how the technology works with your t:slim X2 insulin pump. The video covers how Control-IQ advanced hybrid closed-loop technology is designed to help increase time in range (70-180 mg/dL)* using Dexcom G6 CGM values to predict glucose levels 30 minutes ahead and adjust insulin delivery accordingly; including delivery of automatic correction boluses†as needed. We discuss treatment values of glucose, delivering insulin, and delivering bolus.
Welcome we’re excited to show you how easy control can be using the tm x2 insulin pump with control iq technology from tandem diabetes care this video explains how control iq works during usual day-to-day activities when you aren’t using the sleep or exercise activity settings to learn more about how to use the sleep and exercise activity settings please watch our
Other videos the goal of control iq technology is to minimize the burden of managing your diabetes by automatically adjusting insulin delivery based on readings from your continuous glucose monitor or cgm using readings from the dexcom g6 cgm control iq technology predicts what your glucose will be in 30 minutes and adjusts insulin delivery accordingly treatment
Values are the cgm values that trigger control iq technology to act in order to help increase time spent in the target range of 70 to 180 milligrams per deciliter when your glucose is predicted to be between one hundred twelve point five milligrams per deciliter and 160 milligrams per deciliter thirty minutes in the future your pump will deliver insulin at the
Rate determined by your active personal profile during this time you will see a grey diamond icon on the home screen and the pump status icon will be a black b and a light blue square when your glucose is predicted to be at or below one hundred twelve point five milligrams per deciliter thirty minutes in the future control iq technology will begin to decrease
Insulin delivery from your active personal profile rate to help to keep your glucose within the target range while this is happening the lower half of the diamond icon will become orange and the pump status icon will also be orange when control iq technology predicts that your glucose will be below 70 milligrams per deciliter thirty minutes in the future basal
Insulin delivery will be stopped bolus deliveries will continue including any active extended bolus currently underway you will also be able to start a new bolus even though basal delivery has been stopped when control iq technology has stopped your basal insulin delivery the lower half of the diamond will become rep and the pump status icon will be a red zero
Additionally you will see a red shaded area on the cgm trend graph which lets you know that basal insulin is stopped during that time basal insulin delivery will resume once your glucose is predicted to be above 70 milligrams per deciliter thirty minutes in the future when control iq technology predicts that your glucose will be above 160 milligrams per deciliter
30 minutes in the future basal insulin delivery will be increased during this time the upper half of the diamond icon will be blue and the pump status icon will be a white b in a dark blue square this icon is different from a personal profile rate which is a black b in a light blue square when control iq technology predicts that your glucose value will be at or
Above 180 milligrams per deciliter 30 minutes in the future and when control iq technology is either increasing insulin delivery or delivering the max basal rate the pump will deliver an automatic correction bolus to help return you to the target range while control iq technology is delivering an automatic correction bolus you will see the icon of a white droplet
In a blue square also note that when control iq technology is delivering an automatic correction bolus you will see a control iq bolus displayed at the bottom of the screen thanks for watching this video and learning how easy control can be please visit tandem diabetes comm slash control iq to learn more about the teslin x2 insulin pump with control iq technology you you
