Connect with t:slim X2 insulin pump and Dexcom CGM
Dexcom Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Systems* and the Tandem t:slim X2TM insulin pump work together to create a convenient and highly customisable1 insulin delivery system, without multiple daily injections or finger pricks!**
** Finger pricks required for diabetes treatment decision if symptoms or expectations do not match readings.
Dexcom CGM* + Tandem t:slim X2TM Insulin Pump
The t:slim X2TM insulin pump can pair with Dexcom G6 or G7 sensors to create a powerful automated insulin delivery system, also named Hybrid Closed Loop system.
Automatic correction bolus
The t:slim X2TM can deliver automatic correction boluses to help prevent hyperglycaemia. If glucose values are predicted to be about 10.0 mmol/L, Control-IQ technology calculates a correction bolus by using the person profile settings.
Personalised settings
Customise your pump with 6 personal profiles for ever changing routines, schedules and lifestyles. The pump also includes optional settings for Sleep and Exercise activity that automatically adjust the range of treatment values.
Infusion set options
The t:slim X2TM insulin pump offers a wide range of infusion set options. This includes a 90- and 30-degree soft cannula, a variable angle soft cannula and a 90-degree steel needle.1 So, the choice is yours.
Powerful and customisable.1
1. Dexcom G6 or G7 — The wearable sensor takes glucose readings every 5 minutes and sends those numbers to the Control-IQTM algorithm.
2. Predictive insulin technologies — the Control-IQTM algorithm creates an advanced hybrid closed loop system to help prevent high and lows.
3. t:slim X2TM insulin pump — the pump delivers (or suspends) insulin from the glucose and insulin data provided by your CGM to the Control-IQTM algorithm. The t:slim X2TM is a small device with watertight construction and a range of infusion set options.1
Meet the Dexcom CGM Systems
With Dexcom CGM Systems*, you have the option to choose the insulin pump that works best for you. Glucose readings are sent to your smartphone† – without finger pricks** and no scanning ever. Via an algorithm, this data communicates with your insulin pump to create a hybrid closed loop system for more convenient insulin delivery.
** Finger pricks required for diabetes treatment decisions if symptoms or expectations do not match readings.
