This will make things a little easier once this feature is released. Very cool.

Interesting alternative to 5/AAPS for smartphone control.

Availability only on two generation old phones is still strange, but an improvement over Omnipod.

They had to do a lot of work in the marketing department:

> This represents the first-ever FDA-cleared smartphone application capable of initiating insulin delivery **on both iOS and Android** operating systems.

I guess Insulet marketing have their work cut out, or maybe not, when they get iPhone clearance the following will be a true statement for the O5:

> FDA-clearance has now been issued for first-ever FDA-cleared smartphone application capable of initiating insulin delivery on both iOS and Android operating systems.

Indeed my wife thought the Tandem press release was about the same thing I had been talking about when she saw it a few days ago.

Insulet marketing edit: 😂

> FDA-clearance has now been issued for first-ever FDA-cleared smartphone application capable of initiating insulin delivery on a tubeless pump on both iOS and Android operating systems.

But who ever listens to marketing jabber? 🤷‍♂️ It’s like the cure 5 years away. Blah, blah, blah.
