If you are having difficulty pairing your Dexcom G7 with your t:slim X2 insulin pump, it may be because your G7 and Dexcom receiver are still linked. A single CGM sensor cannot be connected to both your insulin pump and a Dexcom receiver at the same time.
Follow these steps to properly disconnect your G7 from the receiver and reconnect your CGM session to the t:slim X2 insulin pump.
- Turn off the Dexcom receiver and wait 15 minutes. This allows the G7 system to forget the connection currently in place with the Dexcom receiver. Important: Do NOT stop your sensor session.
- Start your G7 sensor session on your t:slim X2 insulin pump. View instructions here.
- Data will begin to display once the G7 and the t:slim X2 insulin pump have connected, this may take several minutes.
- If you are starting a new sensor session, you will follow the normal 30-minute startup period for a new session.
- Leave the Dexcom receiver off and store in a safe place. If the receiver is turned back on, it could interfere with the connection between your transmitter and the t:slim X2 pump.
Note: The Dexcom CGM systems only allow pairing with one medical device at a time, but you may still use a smartphone with the Dexcom G7 Mobile App and your t:slim X2 insulin pump simultaneously with the same CGM.
Always refer to the User Guide for important safety information and detailed step-by-step instructions on your t:slim X2 pump with the Dexcom G7 CGM. Please consult the applicable user guide and refer to the table of contents.
