🚨Newsflash: The Tandem insulin pump and G7 integration still has a major flaw.🚨
You may have recently seen that Tandem and Dexcom got together and now the Tandem pump supports the Dexcom G7.
Super exciting and super amazing. However, there is one small problem….
For many of the G7 sensors, if it does not have a box that says LBL and is underlined, it is NOT compatible with the tandem pump.
So you could put on your G7 sensor, and your pump will not be able to integrate with the CGM, meaning you won’t be able to use Control IQ to help manage your blood sugars.
Obviously, this is frustrating, and fortunately, Dexcom is aware of this…
They have a pretty simple site that will allow you to request G7 replacements that will actually work and be compatible with your Tandem pump.
It’s hard enough downloading new software and making sure everything goes well on the technical side, but of course, there’s nothing more frustrating than expecting your algorithm that you may or may not rely on a lot to help your blood sugar and ultimately it does not.
If you use Tandem, I hope this greatly benefits you.
