Tandem t:slim Touchscreen Insulin Pump Now On Sale (in USA)

[Northerner]

Tandem Diabetes Care (San Diego, CA) is finally releasing its long awaited t:slim Insulin Delivery System, a 300 unit insulin pump that looks like it was designed by Apple. The face of the t:slim is the size of a credit card and all functions are controlled through its beautiful touch screen.

Very pretty. LOL

I wonder how hot the insulin gets inside an aluminium case? hotter than plastic or cooler?

Where's the remote for when it's buried in the nether reaches of your underwear/evening dress/bridal gown/cricket box/NAPPY - etc?

Not much info there, but very pretty .......

Anyone know how much it will be?

They are a bit coy about the price as it has to be ordered on prescription in the USA, then the company negotiates with the applicant's insurance company to work out a price and how much the applicant has to pay themselves.

I doubt the NHS will be coughing up for them any time soon!

The pump company will have to have the pump within the price range that the NHS set.
Obviously as no CE mark it's not available here yet

Some of the technology seems like the Cellnovo remote, although the pump itself is different. I have just been accepted on the Cellnovo trial starting probably in September - I am so thrilled!
