Made in USANews: Tandem t:slim X2 Now Integrates with FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus Sensor
Jul
Breaking news for the diabetes community: Tandem Diabetes Care and Abbott have officially launched the first-ever integration between the <>t:slim X2 insulin pump and Abbott’s FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus sensor in the United States.
Whether you currently use the Libre sensor alone or pair it with the t:slim X2 independently, this integration now allows seamless communication between your CGM and pump—unlocking a range of benefits from simplified workflows to proactive glucose management.
Key Benefits of This Integration
- Automatic glucose readings every minute: The Libre 2 Plus sensor transmits glucose data via Bluetooth to the t:slim X2 pump once per minute—eliminating the need for manual scanning
- Extended 15-day sensor wear: It’s the only 15‑day CGM available in the U.S., approved for both adults and children, meaning fewer sensor changes—more convenience and potential cost savings
- Predictive insulin delivery via Control‑IQ: The t:slim X2’s Control‑IQ algorithm predicts glucose outcomes up to 30 minutes ahead, adjusts basal rates every five minutes, and can automatically administer correction boluses—up to one per hour—to help prevent highs and lows
- View data on pump and mobile app: Glucose readings appear directly on the pump screen and in the t:connect mobile app—providing real-time visibility at your fingertips
- Calibration- and fingerstick-free dosing: No more calibrating with blood glucose fingersticks for basal or bolus insulin—this integration streamlines daily management dramatically
- Free remote software update: If your t:slim X2 is in warranty, you’ll receive the integration via a complimentary remote update. New pumps sold now include it out of the box
