Quickly Bolus From Your Tandem Pump With the Push of a Button

The Quick Bolus feature allows you to deliver insulin without needing to unclip or take your Tandem Diabetes Care insulin pump out of your pocket.

This optional capability can be programmed in increments of 0.5-, 1-, 2-, or 5-units of insulin, or in 2-, 5-, 10-, or 15-grams of carbohydrate, to calculate and deliver a bolus based on your current Carb Ratio setting. The pump will beep or vibrate to confirm interaction, based on the user pump volume settings.
