Sequel Med Tech and Senseonics Integrate Technologies to Create First Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) System with One-Year Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM)
twiist™ expands compatibility offerings to become the first AID system compatible with Senseonics Eversense® 365 one-year CGM system
twiist with Eversense 365 launch expected in Q3
MANCHESTER, N.H. and GERMANTOWN, Md., April 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sequel Med Tech, LLC, a company developing state-of-the-art insulin delivery technologies, and Senseonics Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:SENS), a medical technology company focused on the development and manufacturing of long-term, implantable CGM systems for people with diabetes, today announced their commercial development agreement to integrate Sequel's twiist Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) System powered by Tidepool with Senseonics' Eversense 365 CGM. Through this collaboration, the twiist™ Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) System will become the first AID system compatible with the Senseonics Eversense 365, the world's first and only one-year CGM system, offering people with type 1 diabetes a new level of flexibility and personalization in their diabetes management.
The agreement between Sequel and Senseonics will provide individuals with type 1 diabetes the option of a one-year CGM system that integrates with the twiist AID System. The integrated system aims to enhance diabetes management by offering people with diabetes more tools to manage care, which may lead to improved glucose control, increased convenience, and provide greater flexibility.
"Sequel is committed to investing in innovations that empower people with diabetes with options in how they manage their diabetes," said Sequel CEO and Co-Founder Alan Lotvin, M.D. "By partnering with Senseonics, a company pioneering long-duration CGM, we aim to deliver the flexibility people want to personalize their diabetes management on their terms."
"This collaboration with Sequel marks a significant step forward in transforming diabetes care," said Tim Goodnow, PhD, President and CEO of Senseonics. "People with diabetes who choose the convenience and ease of our one-year CGM sensor have been waiting for a compatible AID system to enhance their diabetes management. The synergy of Eversense and twiist will provide people with diabetes our most recent innovations in advanced pump, algorithm, and sensor technologies to simplify diabetes management, providing users with an AID solution that unlocks the full experience of our year-long CGM technology."
Sequel remains committed to advancing diabetes technology and expanding partnerships to give people with diabetes more choice and flexibility in how they manage their diabetes. People living with type 1 diabetes who choose to use twiist will have the flexibility to select from two compatible CGM partners, the Senseonics Eversense 365 and Abbott's FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensor, to best suit their individual needs for managing diabetes.
In September 2024, Eversense 365 received FDA clearance as an integrated continuous glucose monitoring (iCGM) system for people with diabetes, paving the way for its use within an automated insulin delivery (AID) system. United by a shared commitment to simplifying diabetes management and improving quality of life, Senseonics and Sequel have begun work to integrate Senseonics' newest generation one-year sensor, Eversense 365, with twiist, Sequel's state-of-the-art AID system. This expanded CGM compatibility between Eversense and twiist will mark a significant advancement—offering greater personalization, more choice, and the potential for improved outcomes for people living with diabetes. The integration is expected to be available in the third quarter of this year.
About twiist
The twiist AID System is the first insulin delivery system that directly measures the volume of insulin delivered with every micro-dose. Cleared for people ages six and up with type 1 diabetes, the twiist AID System offers the capability and flexibility to address each person's individual dosing needs. The twiist Loop algorithm, based on the diabetes community-driven Tidepool Loop, allows the system to automatically adjust basal insulin delivery based on real-time sensor readings and predicted glucose levels.

About Eversense
Eversense 365 is developed by Senseonics and brought to patients by Ascensia Diabetes Care, a subsidiary of PHC Holdings Corporation (TSE: 6523). As the only implantable CGM available, it offers patients a truly differentiated CGM experience, providing One Year of exceptionally accurate monitoring with minimal interruptions. It benefits endocrinologists and care teams by offering their patients confidence in decision-making, long-term peace of mind and enhanced quality of life with just one CGM. The unique approach also allows people to overcome common frustrations and interruptions experienced with traditional, short-term CGMs, so that patients can focus on managing their diabetes and not their CGM.
The Eversense® Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Systems are indicated for continually measuring glucose levels for up to 365 days for Eversense® 365 and 180 days for Eversense® E3 in persons with diabetes age 18 and older. The systems are indicated for use to replace fingerstick blood glucose (BG) measurements for diabetes treatment decisions. Fingerstick BG measurements are still required for calibration primarily one time per week after day 13 for Eversense® 365 and one time per day after day 21 for Eversense® E3, and when symptoms do not match CGM information or when taking medications of the tetracycline class. The sensor insertion and removal procedures are performed by a health care provider. The Eversense CGM Systems are prescription devices; patients should talk to their health care provider to learn more. For important safety information, see www.eversensediabetes.com/safety-info/.
