Abstract

Control-IQ+ is an automated insulin delivery (AID) algorithm approved for people with type 1 diabetes aged 2+ years and adults aged 18+ years with type 2 diabetes. While numerous publications support improved glycaemia and quality of life for people with diabetes, this practice paper is intended to encourage uptake for healthcare professionals (HCPs) who are less familiar with AID systems. This includes recommendations for initializing settings, as well as research and practice-based approaches to optimizing glycaemia with stronger settings (e.g., strong correction factor settings). In addition to automated insulin adjustments every 5 min, Control-IQ+ delivers a large Autobolus up to once per hour, which can improve glycaemia in people who have challenges with routine bolusing. Simple bolus strategies and tips and tricks also highlight how to make Control-IQ+ easy to use for HCPs and the person with diabetes.
