About the t:slim X2
With approximately 440,000 customers worldwide, t:slim X2 is the #1 rated insulin pump by users1 and #1 in overall satisfaction by healthcare providers.2 It’s designed for people who want the convenience of an integrated touchscreen device and the flexibility to choose the components of their insulin delivery system, such as a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensor or from more than 30 mix-and-match infusion set options, to fit a wider range of needs and lifestyles. The t:slim X2 is up to 38 percent smaller than other manufacturers’ durable insulin pumps, and still holds up to 300 units of insulin. It also offers users modern technology, such as the ability to deliver bolus insulin through the convenience of a compatible smartphone.3
About the Tandem Mobi
Testing the limits of pump miniaturization, Tandem Mobi is the world’s smallest durable automated insulin delivery system.4 Less than half the size of the t:slim X2 pump, it offers control from an iOS mobile app5 and features an on-pump button that provides an alternative option to phone control for bolusing insulin. Tandem Mobi can fit in a coin pocket, be clipped to clothing, or worn on-body with an adhesive sleeve (sold separately). Its 200-unit insulin cartridge is compatible with all existing Tandem-branded infusion sets, including a new five-inch tubing option made just for Tandem Mobi. Infusion sets allow users to temporarily disconnect from their pump for convenience and provide the flexibility of more than 30 mix-and-match infusion site and tubing length combinations.
About Control-IQ Advanced Hybrid Closed-Loop Technology
Both the t:slim X2 and the Tandem Mobi will be offered with Control-IQ technology, a hybrid-closed loop algorithm for use by people with type 1 diabetes age 6 and up. Control-IQ technology uses compatible CGM sensor values to predict glucose levels 30 minutes ahead and adjust insulin delivery every 5 minutes to help prevent highs and lows, while still allowing the user to manually bolus for meals. It can also deliver automatic correction boluses (up to one an hour) to help prevent hyperglycemia.6 Real-world data shows immediate and sustained glycemic improvements — including more time in range and better sleep.7 Results from major studies of Control-IQ technology were published by the New England Journal of Medicine in October 2019, August 2020, and March 2023.
