## What is TempoSmart?

Diabetes Self-Management That Works for You

The TempoSmart™ App collects diabetes-related data that has been captured by the Tempo Smart Button™ and a connected Tempo Blood Glucose Monitor (BGM) or Dexcom Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System. It also collects the data brought in from your compatible health and wellness applications. The result is personalized diabetes management data that you can view from your smartphone.

The TempoSmart App:

• Brings your diabetes information together in one place*
• Automatically or manually records your blood glucose readings and insulin data and is compatible with the Dexcom CGM System
• Provides you with information you need to have discussions with your healthcare professional‡
• Provides you with diabetes-related education, support options, and reminders
• Is compatible with apps from wearable devices such as Apple Health, Google Fit, Fitbit, and Garmin

The TempoSmart App is a central component of the Tempo™ Personalized Diabetes Management Platform, which also includes a:
• Tempo Pen™ (insulin¶ pen)
• Tempo Smart Button™	
• Tempo BGM

Attaching the Tempo Smart Button to your Tempo Pen and pairing to the TempoSmart app allows you to transmit insulin dose-related data via Bluetooth® wireless technology. This data can then be shared to the Tempo Insights™ portal where it can be viewed by your healthcare professional.

The TempoSmart App can be used without a prescribed compatible device, with limited features, for up to 180 days.

Tempo is indicated for people 18 years of age and older only.

*To transfer your insulin dose-related data automatically, the Tempo Smart Button must be connected to the app and be within 9 feet (3 meters) of your Bluetooth® enabled mobile device. You can also enter your insulin dosing information manually.

‡Warning: The Tempo Personalized Diabetes Management Platform is intended to help support the management of your diabetes. You must continue to independently manage your glucose values and your prescribed regimen with support from your healthcare practitioner.

¶The Tempo Platform works with Lilly insulin and is available with a healthcare professional’s prescription.

### 2/5 — Freezes

*2025-11-02*

App starts to run and then stops after accepting the login

### 1/5 — Not a good app

*2025-11-02*

I have been using this app for a year. Reliability has gone down with each successive month. I like the idea of the app with its insulin calculator and time stamp management. But it doesn’t work at a high enough rate to justify continuing using this app. Today, the time changed and the app will not load. That is the last straw for me. I will be looking at other apps to determine if they have suitable reliability.

### 1/5 — Not working!

*2025-09-05*

Not only does it not keep records of my sugars that are transferred from my meter, but note it hasn’t been keeping track of the food I’m logging!

### 1/5 — Rude Support Team

*2025-08-02*

The app runs slow, sometimes taking half an hour to load the actual screen before you can use the calculator to calculate insulin. The 2nd tier support team is disgustingly rude. All they say is “So what are you complaining about with our app?” It’s not complaining if someone is genuinely just trying to get the app to work or the button to work. If I wasn’t required by my doctor to use this app, I never would. Would NOT recommend!

### 3/5 — Works Intermittently

*2025-02-10*

I like being able to record all my sugar levels, insulin dosages and food intake. However it’s near impossible to refill test strips and when I do I barely get a month’s worth because I test 4x daily. Also my tempo button just stopped working and I’ve only had it 4 1/2 months where it’s supposed to last at least 8 months (I try not to unnecessarily press it.) I love how super convenient and affordable the strips and pen needles are but please supply more!!

### 1/5 — Inconsistent

*2024-12-27*

Never matches my g6 since last update.  Not worth the expense when I can manually input in my g6.

### 1/5 — Not a good app

*2024-11-22*

This is the worst app I have ever used.
If I could find one thing positive I would say it but I can’t. My doctor is the one who wanted me to use this and I communicated that too many issues and agreed I could stop using it.

### 2/5 — Has potential but very buggy

*2024-11-20*

This app has a a lot of potential but is VERY buggy, with data just disappearing and it not auto logging from the tempo buttons. Its bad enough that its impossible to get refills on the test strips for their meter that works with the app, but to lose data is very frustrating and counter intuitive, especially with diabetes. I am not sure how long I will be able to remain with this system.

### 3/5 — Does not work with the new Apple update

*2024-11-03*

I love the app, how ever after the latest Apple update it didn’t work properly and now will not open.  Please fix ASAP!

### 1/5 — Not a good app

*2024-10-01*

I have nothing but problems with this app. Cannot edit food when entered in for a meal. So calculates way too many carbs.Searching for a food takes forever if you have time to sit and wait that’s fine (like an extremely long time)!The only thing good I can find is calculate insulin.
Would NEVER Recommend
