Dexcom and Insulet to work together

Today Dexcom, who make a continuous glucose monitoring system, and Insulet, who make the OmniPod insulin pump, announced that they will work together to integrate Dexcom's CGM capability into the OmniPod's handheld system controller, the Personal Diabetes Manager.

This will take time. According to the press release "Development, clinical and regulatory efforts are expected to continue throughout 2008, with an anticipated product launch in mid-2009."

The agreement is not exclusive, so Dexcom may also work with other insulin delivery device makers to combine with their technology.

Diabetes: technology, devices, software, and other stuff.

: Name: Bernard Farrell; Location: Massachusetts, United States

I was born in Ireland and now live in the US. I have had Type 1 diabetes for over 35 years. I struggle with my blood sugar, the same as most people with diabetes. I currently wear a Minimed 512 insulin pump and will shortly switch to a Cozmo 1800 pump. I also wear a Dexcom CGM to track my blood glucose levels. I also take Symlin to help control my post-meal blood sugars. I'm blessed by God, and every day brings the possibility of a cure.
