If you live with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and use the Tandem t:slim X2 hybrid closed-loop system, here’s an announcement that could make your daily life easier: the new Tandem t:slim mobile app has been authorized by Health Canada for both iPhone and Android devices!
This app puts your pump right at your fingertips on your smartphone, making daily management simpler and more seamless.
What the app lets you do
With the app, you will be able to:
- Deliver or cancel an insulin bolus directly from your phone (e.g., at mealtime).
- Track your glucose trends over the past 24 hours, view pump status changes, and see details of your insulin therapy, including basal, bolus, and suspension events.
- Receive pump alerts and alarms in real time.
- Automatically upload your data to the cloud-based Tandem Source platform, no cables needed.
And of course, you can continue to manage your insulin pump as you always have, either directly on the pump or via the app, according to your preference.
When and how to access the app
The Tandem t:slim mobile app will be available later in 2025 on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
Eligible users will receive an email from Tandem with instructions on how to download and set up the app once it becomes available.
Why this matters
With this new app, Canadians living with T1D will be able to:
- Manage their insulin pump more easily, without needing to handle the pump directly every time.
- Access glucose data and treatment information quickly and conveniently.
- Enjoy a more connected experience, with automatic data uploads to the cloud.
Stay tuned! Tandem will email instructions soon so you can download the app and take full advantage of its features.
