Introducing the t:slim X2™ Insulin Pump with Basal-IQ™ Technology

We’re thrilled to announce the t:slim X2 Insulin Pump with Basal-IQ Technology has been granted FDA approval. This latest release from Tandem Diabetes Care helps pump users take charge of diabetes management by predicting and helping prevent lows.

Benefits of the system include:

  • The ability to predict low glucose levels 30 minutes ahead of time and suspend insulin delivery to help reduce the frequency and duration of low-glucose events. A pivotal study of Basal-IQ Technology showed a 31% relative reduction in time spent below 70 mg/dL when compared with a CGM-enabled pump without Basal-IQ Technology.1
  • Integration with the new Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring system, which delivers continuous glucose readings to the t:slim X2 Insulin Pump to aid users in making in treatment decisions without fingersticks for mealtime dosing or calibrations*.
  • FDA approval for automated insulin delivery for pump users as young as 6 years old.
  • A simple-to-learn interface that operates without constant user input or the use of complicated modes. In a clinical study, 91% of participants found Basal-IQ Technology easy to use.2
