Tandem Diabetes Care president and CEO John Sheridan said: “This FDA clearance further validates our commitment to innovation and the diabetes community by providing one of the most requested feature enhancements.

“With the improvements in diabetes management provided by Tandem’s Control-IQ technology, giving a meal bolus is now the most common reason a person interacts with their pump, and the ability to do so using a smartphone app offers a convenient and discrete solution.”

The company plans to launch the new mobile bolus feature in a series of limited launch groups throughout the spring.

Following this, it intends to expand the launch in the summer.
