Predicts and helps prevent lows with ZERO fingerpricks*
When life gets busy, the fear of going low can really get in your way. Our Basal-IQ predictive low-glucose suspend technology can help you spend less time worrying about lows and more time living your life.
The simple-to-use t:slim X2 Insulin Pump has a slim and sleek design and is compatible with Dexcom G6 System which is indicated for making treatment decisions without a fingerprick.*,†
Small Pump. Big Features.
So Simple and So Slim
The t:slim X2 Insulin Pump was designed to be user friendly. Touchscreen technology makes the t:slim X2 Insulin Pump simple to learn and simple to use.
The beauty of the t:slim X2 Insulin Pump is that it has a slim and sleek design yet it can hold a surprisingly large amount of insulin – up to 300 units. All thanks to our Micro-delivery® technology and an innovative, flat insulin cartridge design.
Rechargeable and Durable
The t:slim X2 Insulin Pump’s rechargeable battery can be charged from a wall outlet, the car, a power pack or a computer without interrupting insulin delivery. A charge lasts up to 7 days, so there is no need to worry about purchasing extra batteries!
The t:slim X2 Insulin Pump is also ultra-strong – the aluminium case is durable and light. The touchscreen is made of high grade, shatter-resistant glass. Plus, the t:slim X2 Insulin Pump is watertight,2 so there is no need to worry about it accidentally getting wet.
Simple to Personalise
Create up to 6 different personal profiles, and within each profile, create up to 16 different time segments that allow individual basal rates, insulin-to-carb ratios, correction factors, and target blood glucose levels. Profiles can be named individually so it’s easy to know which one to use!
Responsive Insulin Delivery
Basal-IQ technology predicts and helps prevent lows. It can turn insulin delivery on and off as often as every 5 minutes. There is no minimum insulin suspension period.
Works Silently in the Background
No added alerts or alarms beyond standard continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and pump notifications.* Users must only decide if they want the feature turned on or off.
How Basal-IQ works
The Basal-IQ feature helps reduce the frequency and duration of low-glucose events by predicting glucose levels 30 minutes ahead and suspending insulin if they are expected to drop below 4.4 mmol/L, or if a CGM reading falls below 3.9 mmol/L.
An insulin pump is a device that holds a cartridge of insulin. The pump is worn 24 hours a day, and is programmed to deliver a steady rate of insulin (basal) through tubing known as an infusion set. When food is eaten or to correct a high glucose level, the pump can be programmed to deliver a set amount of insulin (bolus) to cover these factors.1
Basal-IQ Clinical Study Results:
Less Time Low
31% relative reduction in sensor time below 3.9 mmol/L when study participants used a t:slim X2 insulin pump with Basal-IQ technology.1
Simple To Use
Basal-IQ Clinical Study Results Simple To Use – 91% of study participants said the Basal-IQ feature on the t:slim X2 pump was easy to use.1

What support will I have from NZMS Diabetes?

Can I use newer, fast-acting insulins, like Fiasp, in your pumps?
Tandem pumps and cartridges are only indicated for use with Novolog and Humalog U-100 insulins. The safety and efficiacy of other insulins, including Fiasp, have not been established for use with Tandem pumps. Importantly, clinical studies using our automated insulin delivery algorithms were only conducted using Humalog and Novolog U-100 insulins, which have different times of onset compared to Fiasp.
What happens if I use Fiasp in my pump anyway?
Tandem pumps and cartridges are only indicated for use with Novolog and Humalog U-100 insulins. Importantly, clinical studies using our automated insulin delivery algorithms were only conducted using Humalog and Novolog U-100 insulins, which have different times of onset compared to Fiasp. If you use Fiasp in your pump and you begin experiencing persistent issues that can be attributed to insulin compatibility, we can’t guarantee your warranty will be honored.
Always read the label and use only as directed. Read the warnings available on nzmsdiabetes.co.nz/resources before purchasing. Consult your healthcare professional to see if this product is right for you.
Basal-IQ technology provides continuous delivery of insulin through a subcutaneously applied infusion set. The algorithm will stop insulin delivery according to the predictive low glucose when used with a compatible CGM. Dexcom G6 is a continuous glucose monitoring system indicated for the management of (type 1, type 2, gestational) diabetes in people age 2 years and older where self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is indicated.
