Why Tandem t:slim Users Need Insurance
Tandem's t:slim X2 with Control-IQ is one of the most advanced insulin pumps available—and one of the most expensive to replace (£3,500-4,500). Insulin pump insurance coverage protects this significant investment while ensuring you maintain automated insulin delivery without interruption.
What's Special About t:slim Protection
Control-IQ Automation
Control-IQ's automated insulin delivery is what makes t:slim powerful. Damage to the pump interrupts this automation—insurance ensures fast replacement to restore automated therapy.
Insurance value: Critical for automated insulin users
Dexcom Integration
t:slim X2 integrates seamlessly with Dexcom G6/G7. Insurance covers the pump; consider bundling with CGM coverage for comprehensive protection.
Insurance value: Bundle pump + CGM for best value
High Replacement Cost
t:slim X2 is among the most expensive pumps. A dropped or damaged device represents a £3,500-4,500 loss without insurance—or a 24-hour replacement with insurance.
Insurance value: Protection against catastrophic cost
Touchscreen Vulnerability
The touchscreen is both a feature and a vulnerability. Liquid damage or cracks render the pump unusable. Insurance covers touchscreen damage immediately.
Insurance value: Touchscreen protection included

Why Comprehensive Insurance Matters for t:slim

- 2.High stakes if uninsured: Replacement cost without insurance (£3,500-4,500) is significant. Insurance at £8-10/month provides incredible value.
- 3.24-hour replacement critical: If your t:slim breaks, 24-hour replacement means you're back to automation within a day, not weeks.
- 4.Bundle savings: Pump + Dexcom bundle often cheaper than separate policies. Get comprehensive automation + CGM protection together.
