Dexcom CGM Compatibility
To display your current glucose reading and activate Control-IQ technology on your t:slim X2 insulin pump, you will need to connect your pump with a compatible continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensor.*
Compatible Sensors
Tandem Diabetes Care and Dexcom have created life-changing diabetes management solutions with more than a decade of collaboration. Here is a breakdown of what Dexcom CGM sensors are currently compatible with your t:slim X2 insulin pump.
Dexcom G7
The t:slim X2 pump (software version 7.7 or later) is compatible with specific versions of the Dexcom G7 sensor.
Dexcom G6
The t:slim X2 insulin pump (software version 7.3 or later) is compatible with all versions of the Dexcom G6 sensor.
How do I know if my Dexcom G7 sensor is compatible?
Check all your sensor boxes. If the side of the box has a white line below the LBL number, as per the image example shown, then the t:slim X2 insulin pump (versions 7.7 and later) is compatible with your Dexcom G7 sensor.
Please note: The numbers on your Dexcom G7 sensor box will be different than the numbers shown in the reference example on this page.
Don’t have the sensor box?
If you don’t have the box that your Dexcom G7 sensor came in but your sensor is connected to the Dexcom G7 app on your smartphone, please use the following instructions to check compatibility.
Open your Dexcom G7 app and tap Connections.

Important Safety Information
RX ONLY. The t:slim X2 pump and Control-IQ technology are intended for single patient use. The t:slim X2 pump and Control-IQ technology are indicated for use with NovoLog or Humalog U-100 insulin. t:slim X2 insulin pump: The t:slim X2 insulin pump with interoperable technology is intended for the subcutaneous delivery of insulin, at set and variable rates, for the management of diabetes mellitus in people requiring insulin. The pump is able to reliably and securely communicate with compatible, digitally connected devices, including automated insulin dosing software, to receive, execute, and confirm commands from these devices. The pump is indicated for use in individuals 6 years of age and greater. Control-IQ technology: Control-IQ technology is intended for use with compatible integrated continuous glucose monitors (iCGM, sold separately) and alternate controller enabled (ACE) pumps to automatically increase, decrease, and suspend delivery of basal insulin based on iCGM readings and predicted glucose values. It can also deliver correction boluses when the glucose value is predicted to exceed a predefined threshold. Control-IQ technology is intended for the management of Type 1 diabetes mellitus in persons 6 years of age and greater.
Warning: Control-IQ technology should not be used by anyone under the age of 6 years old. It should also not be used in patients who require less than 10 units of insulin per day or who weigh less than 55 pounds.
Control-IQ technology is not indicated for use in pregnant women, people on dialysis, or critically ill patients. Do not use Control-IQ technology if using hydroxyurea. Users of the t:slim X2 pump and Control-IQ technology must: use the insulin pump, CGM, and all other system components in accordance with their respective instructions for use; test blood glucose levels as recommended by their healthcare provider; demonstrate adequate carb-counting skills; maintain sufficient diabetes self-care skills; see healthcare provider(s) regularly; and have adequate vision and/or hearing to recognize all functions of the pump, including alerts, alarms, and reminders. The t:slim X2 pump must be removed before MRI, CT, or diathermy treatment. Visit tandemdiabetes.com/safetyinfo for additional important safety information.
