Tandem Diabetes Care Inc. has secured Health Canada authorization to distribute the Tandem t:slim mobile application for Android and iPhone users. The Tandem t:slim mobile app allows users to deliver a bolus from their compatible smartphone and to wirelessly upload their pump data to the cloud-based Tandem Source platform.1 

“This authorization demonstrates our dedication to expanding Tandem’s global offerings and delivering advanced technology to our Canadian customers,” Tandem Diabetes President/CEO John Sheridan said. “It showcases our team’s agility in meeting international standards and our commitment to offering innovative, integrated diabetes solutions.”

The Tandem t:slim mobile app is a secure, user-friendly mobile application that, when paired with a t:slim X2 insulin pump, displays the user’s pump information on his or her personal smartphone. In addition to the ability to deliver and cancel a bolus, the mobile app displays the last 24 hours of glucose trends, pump status changes, and insulin therapy data, including basal and bolus deliveries and insulin delivery suspensions. The app also displays pump alerts and alarms, and it securely uploads data into the cloud-based Tandem Source platform wirelessly. The t:slim X2 insulin pump functions independently from the Tandem t:slim mobile app so a user always retains the freedom to view pump therapy data, program requests, and cancel or stop bolus insulin requests from his or her pump.

The Tandem t:slim mobile app will be available for compatible smartphones in the Apple App Store and Google Play store later in 2025.

Tandem Diabetes Care, a global insulin delivery and diabetes technology company, manufactures and sells advanced automated insulin delivery systems that reduce the burden of diabetes management. The company’s pump portfolio features the Tandem Mobi system and the t:slim X2 insulin pump, both of which feature Control-IQ advanced hybrid closed-loop technology. Tandem Diabetes Care is based in San Diego.

Wireless uploads from the t:slim mobile app to the cloud-based Tandem Source platform require a compatible phone and an internet or wireless data connection. Uploads to the Tandem Source platform do not take place in real time and should not be relied upon by healthcare providers or caregivers for remote patient monitoring. Standard carrier data rates may apply.
