JDRF and Tandem Diabetes Care Partner to Help Educate and Support the T1D Community
Summary
The partnership will utilize JDRF’s community facing platforms, including local chapter events, digital channels, and education programs, to bring to life the benefits of devices such as insulin pumps, continuous glucose monitors and novel treatment approaches like hybrid closed loop therapy. “Together, we will show how innovations in type 1 diabetes management and care will continue to minimize the intrusions of T1D on day-to-day life and provide better health outcomes for people living with the disease,” said Joe Watterson, JDRF Vice President of Corporate Development. People living with T1D have a variety of needs that span from reducing the daily burden of disease management to finding a trusted technology partner who can deliver solutions that work reliably, provide clinical benefits, and improve their overall quality of life. We are an organization built on a grassroots model of people connecting in their local communities, collaborating regionally for efficiency and broader fundraising impact, and uniting on a national stage to pool resources, passion, and energy. Tandem’s flagship product, the t:slim X2™ insulin pump, is capable of remote software updates using a personal computer and features integrated continuous glucose monitoring.
