Technology & Innovation – Air Liquide
Air Liquide Healthcare UK is the authorised distributor of the innovative Tandem t:slim X2™ Insulin Pump in the UK and Ireland. The latest version of the t:slim X2™ features Control-IQ™ Technology – an advanced hybrid closed-loop technology designed to help increase time in range, as measured by CGM, by predicting and helping prevent both highs and lows. The t:slim X2 insulin pump now integrates with the Dexcom G6 or G7 continuous glucose monitors.

“The t:slim X2 integrates with Dexcom G6 or G7 CGM”
“ Mylo went live on insulin in his pump in September 2023. Gone are the 5 injections a day and it is a rare occasion when a finger prick is needed! Mylo eats when he’s hungry now, or when something takes his fancy. Control-IQ™ prevents highs and most of the lows. I sleep through most nights now knowing his pump is watching him and working while I sleep. Mylo LOVES technology and the pump has been a massive game changer to his quality of life. He’s involved in his own day-to-day decision-making about his diabetes management and empowering him to do this has helped him understand that yes, diabetes is for life, but diabetes doesn’t need to take over your life. I have often gone to offer a correction to find Control-IQ has already done it…it’s a step ahead of me always..and this I will be forever grateful for! The t:slim X2 with Control-IQ is without a doubt the most amazing piece of kit we have ever seen.”
