Reported insulin pump temperature fluctuations lack clinical relevance

Abstract

Betsy B Dokken, Michael Rosinko Tandem Diabetes Care, Inc., San Diego, CA, USAIn their recent paper, Vereshchetin et al1 suggested that the heat generated by the Tandem Diabetes Care, Inc. (San Diego, CA, USA) t:slim® Insulin Pump during battery charging is high enough to degrade insulin. There are several reasons that the arguments made in this paper are not relevant to patient use of the t:slim Insulin Pump.View original paper by Vereshchetin et al.
