[{"type":"text","content":"\n– Additional data presented at the 18th International Conference on Advanced Technologies & Treatments for Diabetes –\n\n SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nTandem Diabetes Care, Inc. (Nasdaq: TNDM), a leading insulin delivery and diabetes technology company, today announced publication by The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) of positive results from the company’s pivotal trial of Control-IQ+ automated insulin delivery (AID) technology in people with type 2 diabetes. The article is now available on the journal website, www.NEJM.org. Additional study findings were presented today during a symposium at the 18th International Conference on Advanced Technologies & Treatments for Diabetes (ATTD) in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.\n\nResults published in NEJM demonstrate significant improvements in time in range and hemoglobin A1c (A1C) in people with type 2 diabetes when using Control-IQ+ technology compared to a control group (CGM group) who continued their pre-study insulin delivery method in conjunction with a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system. A reduction in A1C of 0.9% was observed in people using Control-IQ+ technology (N=215) compared with 0.3% in the CGM group (N=104). A1C reduction of 2.3% was observed with Control-IQ+ in people entering the study with an A1C of 9% or higher. These improvements were seen across a racially and socio-economically diverse population spanning ages 19 to 87 years old. Both groups used a Dexcom G6 CGM System for the duration of the study.\n\n“This study represents the most rigorous evaluation of automated insulin delivery technology for people with type 2 diabetes ever conducted. The randomized controlled design and broad inclusion goals that did not limit participation based on A1C levels allowed us to truly determine the treatment effect of the algorithm,” said Roy W. Beck, MD, PhD, medical director of the Jaeb Center for Health Research, who coordinated the study. “These results demonstrate the substantial value of Control-IQ+ technology for people with type 2 diabetes who use insulin. It was encouraging that even people using insulin plus a GLP-1 receptor agonist drug, such as Ozempic, had substantial A1C improvement with the addition of Control-IQ+ to their treatment regimen.”\n\n“The benefits of Control-IQ+ technology were evident across an incredibly diverse population, regardless o...
