If you have one of these pumps, to avoid an unexpected battery depletion, charge the pump for 10-15 minute each day.  Be certain the battery is fully charged before going to sleep.  Always carry backup supplies of insulin.  For more informaation, call Tandem at 1-877-801-69-01 or via the email techsupport@tandemdiabetes.com. https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/tandem-diabetes-care-provides-update-march-2024-nationwide-recall-tconnect-mobile-app-ios-devices #tandem #insulinpump #iOSapp #tconnect #battery #shutdown #hyperglycemia #recall
