Dexcom in talks to buy Insulet

[helli]

I wonder what this would mean regarding Dexcom integration with pumps? https://www.medtechdive.com/news/dexcom-insulet-acquisition-report/624262/
I hope they don't start pulling back from some existing integrations such as t-slim in favour of their "own pump".

Wasn't there also talk of the new Omnipod Horizon possibly being looped with Libre. I imagine Dexcom might veto that if there was a takeover of Insulet. I also imagine Omnipod is one of the most popular pumps on the market, so stopping that Libre integration might be very beneficial to Dexcom..... not so helpful to many Omnipod users particularly in this country where the NHS prescribe Libre over Dexcom..... maybe not the correct turn of phrase there but you know what I mean.
