    Why does it need a connection to another device in the first place though? Silicon is tiny and cheap; all the logic, sensing, and scheduling could be done inside the pump.

      interacting with a pump sounds kinda awkward tho, i totally see why some people would prefer some sort of remote control, e.g. an app

        I can see the utility, but there should be at least some critical operability in case the phone or app doesn’t work for whatever reason, to help avoid injuries like these

      Because everything needs an app these days apparently. It’s stupid, something life-critical like an insulin pump should never be controlled by an external device.
