Tandem Diabetes Care

For people managing diabetes with an insulin pump, the daily details matter — how the cannula sits under the skin, how easily the set inserts, how reliably tubing connects, and whether the pump can talk to a CGM. Tandem Diabetes Care builds its system around those realities, pairing the t:slim X2 insulin pump with a family of AutoSoft infusion sets designed for comfortable, consistent delivery.

The t:slim X2 with Control-IQ technology is the centerpiece here. Its integrated CGM receiver capability lets the pump automatically adjust background insulin and help reduce highs and lows, using predictive algorithms rather than requiring you to react to every reading. The slim, rechargeable design and touchscreen make it a discreet alternative to bulkier pumps, and software updates keep the device current over its lifespan.

Infusion sets are where fit and preference come into play. The AutoSoft 90 features a soft cannula inserted at a 90-degree angle with a spring-loaded introducer and the t:lock connector, offered in 6 mm depth and both gray and blue options. If you prefer an angled insertion — often chosen for leaner bodies or to control cannula depth — the AutoSoft 30 uses a 13 mm cannula set at 30 degrees. The AutoSoft XC line adds extended-wear adhesive and comes in 6 mm and 9 mm cannula lengths with 23- or 43-inch tubing, so you can match tubing length to where you clip the pump.

Choosing between sets usually comes down to cannula angle, cannula length, and tubing length. Angled sets like the AutoSoft 30 offer more control over insertion depth, while 90-degree sets install quickly and suit many body types. Longer 43-inch tubing helps when the pump sits farther from the site. All AutoSoft sets use the t:lock connector, keeping them compatible across the Tandem system.
