I suspect you're aware, but there is a significant community effort on communicating with various insulin pumps.

The old Medtronic pumps were hacked years ago and Medtronic responded by making it impossible with newer pumps.

By now there are at least 3 different apps on different platforms and they support a variety of pumps.

I am aware, but my wife has the current model which is sadly incompatible with all community efforts I know of
I also have an unhackable pump, unfortunately. I know there were attempts on the later Medtronic pumps by some pretty smart people so it looks unlikely that they'll ever be able to be controller openly.

My next pump will definitely be one that allows remote control and some sort of looping. Whether that's officially from the manufacturer or not.
