Unleashing the Power of Partnerships: Tandem Control IQ & Dexcom G7
December 20, 2023
In this episode of Dexcom’s Real Time Real Talk, we’re speaking to Tandem’s Medical Director, Jordan Pinsker. Jordan is a pediatric endocrinologist by training, but has been involved in clinical trials and the development of automated insulin delivery products for many years. Our second guest is Kristy Castillo, the clinical solutions manager at Tandem who is also a nurse, diabetes educator and lives with type one diabetes herself.
We’ll discuss Tandem products including the sleek new number 1 one rated AID system, the t:slim X2 insulin pump, we’ll talk about how it integrates with the Dexcom G6 and G7 and Kristy also shares her first-hand experience of using it.
Finally we’ll discuss the advantages of connecting your AID system to your smartphone where possible, not just for those with diabetes but also for health care professionals.

Fingersticks required for diabetes treatment decisions if symptoms or expectations do not match readings.
Dexcom G7 can complete warmup within 30 minutes, whereas other CGM brands require up to an hour or longer.
Smart devices are sold separately. For a list of compatible smart devices, visit: dexcom.com/compatibility.
The Dexcom G7 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (Dexcom G7 System) is a real time, continuous glucose monitoring device indicated for the management of diabetes in persons aged 2 years and older. Dexcom G7 has no limitations for use in pregnancy.
The Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (Dexcom G6 System) is a real time, continuous glucose monitoring device indicated for the management of diabetes in persons aged 2 years and older.
Dexcom’s partners are working to integrate insulin pumps, insulin pens, and digital health apps with Dexcom G7.
Data from collaborator devices and products must be verified by those collaborator devices and products. Users should confirm data and connections with their collaborator devices and products.
A separate Follow app and internet connection are required to follow CGM users’ glucose readings and trends. CGM users should always confirm glucose readings on the Dexcom G7 app or receiver before making treatment decisions.
Dr Jordan Pinsker and Kristy Castillo are employees of Tandem Diabetes Care.
