Reported insulin pump temperature fluctuations lack clinical relevance

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.Authors’ replyPaul Vereshchetin, Thomas W McCann Jr, Navdeep Ojha, Ramakrishna Venugopalan, Brian L LevyJohnson & Johnson Diabetes Care Companies, Chesterbrook, PA, USAThe authors appreciate the response from Tandem Diabetes Care Inc., specifically Dr. Dokken and Mr. Rosinko, to the, paper titled: Comparison of rechargeable versus batteryoperated insulin pumps: temperature fluctuations.1View original paper by Vereshchetin et al.
