Insulin Reminder for Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes
Never miss an insulin dose. Bumbi sends persistent insulin reminders that repeat until you actually inject. Basal, bolus, mealtime, no slips.
The problem
Insulin timing is not negotiable. A missed basal dose can drift you toward DKA over hours. A skipped bolus before a carb-heavy meal sets up a glucose spike that wrecks the rest of the day. Continuous glucose monitors flag the result but cannot prevent the cause: forgetting to inject in the first place. The standard phone alarm fires once and is gone in two seconds, which is fine for an alarm clock and useless for a dose. Multi-dose regimens make this worse: long-acting in the morning, rapid-acting before each meal, correction doses if numbers spike. That is four to six separate reminders a day, each one critical, each one easy to lose to a single distracted swipe.
How Bumbi solves this
Set one Bumbi reminder per dose. Long-acting at the time your endo recommended. Rapid-acting reminders matched to your usual meal windows. Each one fires and stays on screen until you confirm you injected. If you dismiss thinking "in a minute," Bumbi comes back in a minute, then again, then again. Tap done after the injection and the next dose is queued. No glucose tracking, no carb counter, no pump integration; the dedicated diabetes apps handle that better. Bumbi does the one thing they consistently fail at: refusing to let an insulin reminder slip into the void. Stack it on top of your existing toolkit. Always seek your endocrinologist or diabetes care team for dosing decisions; Bumbi is a reminder, not medical advice.

Frequently asked questions
Can Bumbi remind me for mealtime insulin if my schedule changes daily?
Set the rapid-acting reminders for your typical meal windows. On days you eat at a different time, the persistent nag is easy to defer until you sit down. Or create the reminder ad-hoc from the home screen when you start cooking. Either way, the reminder will not vanish on its own.
How does Bumbi compare to a dedicated diabetes management app?
Dedicated apps log doses, count carbs and integrate with CGMs. Bumbi does none of that. What it does is keep a reminder visible until you act, which is the gap most diabetes apps leave open. Use both: the management app for the data, Bumbi for the nag.
What if my doctor adjusts my regimen?
Edit, add or delete reminders in seconds. Add a new correction-dose reminder, change basal timing, remove one when your regimen simplifies. The reminder set adjusts as fast as the prescription does.
