Tandem Diabetes Care, Inc. (Nasdaq: TNDM) and Dexcom, Inc. today announced that following the recent authorization of sale by Health Canada, in-warranty t:slim X2™ insulin pump users can now access full compatibility with both the Dexcom G7 and Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) Systems. The t:slim X2 insulin pump with Control-IQ technology is the #1-rated automated insulin delivery (AID) system1, and now the first and only insulin pump in Canada that is integrated with both Dexcom G6 and Dexcom G7.
“The commercial availability of this new offering is a testament to our decade-long partnership with Dexcom and shared commitment to continued leadership in advancing AID systems,” said Mark Novara, executive vice president and chief commercial officer of Tandem Diabetes Care. “Now, our t:slim X2 users in Canada can have access to a range of innovative tools that not only simplify diabetes management but also enhance their quality of life.”
“Through our continued partnership with Tandem, we have seen the proven benefits of automated insulin delivery. We’re proud that people living in Canada can now access the latest AID offering with Dexcom G7, our smallest and most accurate CGM2,” said André Côté, executive vice president and general manager of Dexcom Canada. “Our two organizations hold the same core value: foster technological innovation that leads to a better life for those living with diabetes. We couldn’t be more pleased to officially bring this offering to Canadians.”
In December 2023, the t:slim X2 pump with Dexcom G7 integration launched in the U.S., marking the first time an AID option was compatible with Dexcom’s latest CGM technology. Now, t:slim X2 users in Canada can experience even more choice when it comes to CGM compatibility, along with the option to spend more time in closed loop with Dexcom G7’s 30-minute sensor warm-up time, faster than any other CGM on the market.3 In addition, t:slim X2 users who pair Dexcom G7 with an Apple smartwatch4 can see their glucose numbers directly from their watch without having to access their pump or smartphone4.
Tandem will email all in-warranty t:slim X2 users in Canada with instructions on how to add the new compatibility feature free of charge via remote software update. t:slim X2 pumps pre-loaded with the updated software will begin shipping to new customers in early January 2025.
