Tandem Diabetes Care (Nasdaq:TNDM) announced today that it launched its updated t:slim X2 insulin pump software with the Dexcom

(Nasdaq:DXCM)

 G7.

Integration makes Tandem the first to offer automated insulin delivery with the latest-generation Dexcom continuous glucose monitor (CGM).

The FDA cleared the next-generation Dexcom G7 in December 2022. By February of this year, the company began the U.S. launch of the G7.

However, integration with automated insulin delivery partners, like Tandem, Insulet and Beta Bionics, took a little longer.

Dexcom EVP and COO Jake Leach told Drug Delivery Business News in October that the company anticipated a G7-t:slim X2 launch by the end of the calendar year.

“The Dexcom G7 and t:slim X2 insulin pump integration is the culmination of years of partnership and a shared commitment to improve the lives of people with diabetes,” Leach said in a news release out today. “We’re excited to bring our newest technology to Tandem users so they can experience the benefits of the smallest, most accurate, easy-to-use CGM connected to AID systems.”

Tandem plans to email instructions to all in-warranty t:slim X2 users in the U.S. to offer the new feature free of charge via a remote software update. The company said it has already begun shipping t:slim X2 pumps pre-loaded with the updated software to new customers.

“With this launch we are offering more than 300,000 current t:slim X2 users the ability to integrate with Dexcom’s most advanced CGM technology, demonstrating our commitment to continued leadership in advancing AID systems,” said John Sheridan, president and CEO of Tandem Diabetes Care. “As we celebrate our 10-year partnership with Dexcom, we remain committed to sustaining our rapid pace of innovation to further our mission of helping improve the lives of people with diabetes.”
