Efficacy of Control-IQ Technology in a General Endocrine Clinic

Endocr PractPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

The Control-IQ technology system was effective in reducing hyperglycemia while increasing time in target range and decreasing hypoglycemia. This technology is a useful and effective addition to the growing number of automated insulin delivery systems. The clinical outcomes mirror the results found in the key adult pivotal trials.
