Twiist AID to Pair With Dual Glucose Ketone Sensor

Sequel, maker of the new twiist automated insulin delivery system, recently announced the device will pair with a future glucose sensor from Abbott that also monitors ketones, greatly reducing the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis. DKA is a serious complication of diabetes that can happen when insulin levels drop too low.

The twiist, available later this year, will offer the first FDA-approved Tidepool Loop-based algorithm. Loop is popular among open-source users, but it requires a relatively complicated setup. The algorithm for the twiist AID system lives on the pump itself, greatly simplifying starting up.

The twiist's insulin pump can precisely measure the volume and flow of insulin, reducing the possibility of injecting air, which can lead to unexpectedly high blood sugar levels. The pump can also deliver microdoses of insulin, as small as 0.3 units, to individuals who are highly sensitive to insulin, including children aged six and older.

Earlier this year, Sequel announced twiist will pair with Abbott's Freestyle Libre 3 Plus CGM and the Eversense 365, an implantable CGM sensor that lasts a full year.
