About the t:slim X2™ Insulin Pump with Dexcom G5 Mobile CGM Integration

The t:slim X2™ Insulin Pump, when used with the Dexcom G5® Mobile continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system, is a sensor-augmented insulin pump approved to let users make treatment decisions without pricking their finger. It is up to 38% smaller than other pumps but includes advanced features like a large colour touchscreen, Bluetooth® radio, rechargeable battery, USB connectivity, and a 300-unit insulin capacity. It is also capable of remote software updates, allowing existing users to add features like CGM integration from home.

Note regarding current PHARMAC contract:

NZMS Diabetes’ existing contract with PHARMAC allows for upgrades to funded technology and NZMS Diabetes is discussing this option with PHARMAC. The t:slim X2 Pump launch date for privately funded customers will be announced shortly.
