As in the title really

Anyone has any knowledge when t:slim pump may be available in Europe?

 

[Engineer88]

Nope I haven't heard any plans for them to come over which is obv rubbish. Let me know if you hear anything though!

I'm looking into cellnovo as well. But I'm very interested in pump integrated with dexcom.

I wrote to the company making tslim, will see what they say.

I saw that one as well, but didn't want to wait.

Got a response from Tandem (company that makes tslim) that they don't know when it will be available outside US

So far, the only pump integrated with dexcom available in UK is vibe?

 

[Engineer88]

Yeah thats what me and @Spiker use. Its ok if a little clunky.

 

[CarbsRok]

I have the vibe as well and it works very well with Dexi.

The TSlim isn't dexi incorporated anyway and it takes a long time for something like that to go through approval http://www.tandemdiabetes.com/Products/t-slim-Insulin-Pump/Advanced-Technology/

I thought the integration it's "in progress"? I was hoping it would come to Europe already integrated.

I suspect that's a case of dream on in that dept. USA haven't even got the vibe yet as it's not gone through all the channels required for them. The vibe has been here/europe for 3 or 4 years now.

 

[Engineer88]

Ok so anyone heard anything further on this? We know its integrated with G4 but that's not an issue anymore, is there potential for this to be released in the UK this year?

dont think cellnovo is such a great idea since i was due on it this week but it as been delayed since manufacturer cant send any out as thy are faulty and they needs serious tweaking

I was looking into getting the Cellnovo, especially as they are manufactured very close to where I live, but saw all the bad press and decided to go with the Accu Chek Insight instead.
Hopefully CGM will get supported by the NHS soon and more accurate solutions will be available, really like the T-Slim pump design but this is a US product only :-(.
