This means that not every smartphone will be able to use the bolus feature within the t:connect mobile app. More information is available at Apple has big interest in this area of healthcare, I suspect.
Not just for diabetes—Tim Cook told me a few years ago he was wearing a glucose tracker and found the results informative. Until such time as the Watch can measure such things, though, this is an intriguing new development which pump users may welcome.
