Now I know why my wifes insulin pump's (Medtronic) Android app doesn't support setting the bolus and only allows observation :D It's likely better that way. If the app would allow this, I'd already decompiled the app and tried to reverse engineer the protocol to allow her to set a bolus when she's wearing something that makes it hard to access the pump or carry her phone with her (like a dress). Setting the bolus via e.g. a smartwatch would be really nice, but I'd be very afraid of creating a life-threatening bug.

The app and firmware for the Tandem T-Slim were updated last year or so to allow dosage from the phone app. People on Twitter and reddit were very excited - finally! How convenient! My thought was wow, that is something I really don’t want at all, from a standpoint of possible bugs, security risk and accidental dosage. I don’t want someone who hacks my phone or insulin pump to be able to kill me. Of course, nobody on reddit took my opinion seriously.
