Tandem Diabetes Care - t:slim X2 Insulin Pump

Pharmacare Hawaii is the exclusive partner in Hawaii for Tandem Diabetes Care’s new t:slim X2 insulin pumps with Control-IQ technology. This is the first FDA-cleared insulin pump capable of remote feature updates. It can be used as a stand-alone device or paired with a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system. The Control-IQ advanced hybrid closed-loop technology adjusts insulin delivery to mitigate highs and lows while allowing the user to manually bolus for meals. When paired with Dexcom G6 CGM, real-time glucose readings are provided to the t:slim X2 insulin pump, avoiding the use of painful fingersticks for mealtime dosing or calibration. The mobile app enables the user to bolus from a smartphone, staying informed of one’s diabetes management without touching the pump. The t:slim X2 pump enables the user to view the insulin delivery and glucose history, with the option to upload the pump data wirelessly to the t:connect web application in order to easily review the data when visiting the physician.
