T1D | T2D | Technology | AID Systems

Beta Bionics just received FDA approval for their new patch pump called Mint. Mint features a two-piece reusable and disposable design, a 200-unit insulin reservoir, three days of wear time, and doesn’t require recharging. It can be controlled from an iOS or Android smartphone and is designed to work with Dexcom G7, Dexcom G7 15 Day, and FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus CGMs. Mint is expected to launch in the U.S. in early 2027. Beta Bionics is also working on a next-gen insulin dosing algorithm called 3D Intelligence, which is under FDA review and expected to eventually power both Mint and the iLet.

Senseonics and Beta Bionics just announced a partnership to integrate the Eversense 365 implantable CGM with the iLet Bionic Pancreas. This could be the ultimate “set it and forget it” pairing in diabetes tech – a sensor that lasts an entire year and a pump that only requires basic meal announcements. The companies expect to wrap integration by the end of 2026, with a commercial launch planned after testing and regulatory requirements.

TCOYD Community Quote of the Month

"I was recently diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at 24. I came across your podcast, and I really wanted to thank you for it. It was one of the most reassuring conversations I’ve heard about T1D in a while. The part about not freaking out really resonated with me, as I've been doing exactly that quite often since my diagnosis! Thank you again for the positivity and reassurance you’re bringing to the T1D community. It genuinely means a lot, especially for someone who is still getting used to this new reality."
