Tandem t:slim X2
Also known as: t:slim, Tandem Diabetes Care
Tandem Diabetes Care's touchscreen insulin pump with Control-IQ automated insulin delivery technology.
The Tandem t:slim X2 is a slim, touchscreen insulin pump that is notable for being software-updatable — new algorithm versions (most recently Control-IQ) can be downloaded to existing pumps without hardware replacement. Control-IQ technology integrates with the Dexcom G6 or G7 to automatically adjust basal insulin and deliver automated correction boluses, targeting a glucose range of 112.5–160 mg/dL.
The t:slim X2 holds up to 300 units in a flexible insulin cartridge and uses standard luer-lock infusion sets. It is rechargeable via USB, requiring charging every 3–7 days depending on insulin delivery demands.
Medicare Part B covers the Tandem t:slim X2 as DME for qualifying insulin-dependent beneficiaries. The pump and supplies (cartridges, infusion sets) are covered separately; the Dexcom G6/G7 used with Control-IQ is covered under the CGM benefit.
