Follow These Steps to Begin Your Journey With Tempo:

  • 1. Download the TempoSmart™ App

    You can download the TempoSmart App directly from the App Store® (iOS) or get it on Google Play (Android™).

  • 2. Take your prescriptions and Tempo Savings Card to the pharmacy*

    Get the necessary prescriptions from your doctor in order to pick up your Tempo™ Welcome Kit and Tempo Pen™ at the pharmacy. It may take 48 hours or longer for the pharmacy to fill your prescriptions. Please call the pharmacy in advance to make sure your items are available.

    • Your Tempo Pen prefilled with Lilly insulin is not included in the Tempo Welcome Kit. The Tempo Pen requires its own separate prescription.

    • *
      Tempo Savings Card is available for eligible, commercially insured patients.
  • 3. Set Up Your Devices

    With your Tempo Welcome Kit and your TempoSmart App open, you can begin the process of setting up your devices. The Tempo Smart Button™ needs to be attached to the Tempo Pen and within 9 feet (3 meters) of your smartphone to successfully pair with the TempoSmart App. Once the Tempo Pen and Tempo Smart Button are attached, activate the Bluetooth® wireless technology on your smartphone and pair your Tempo Smart Button and Tempo™ Blood Glucose Meter (BGM) to the TempoSmart App. For additional Tempo setup guidance, you can schedule a free, live video session with a GoodStart Mentor. Text TEMPO to 85099 to get started.

    • Warning: Connect (pair) the Tempo Smart Button to the TempoSmart App in a private place. This helps keep your Smart Button’s insulin dose-related data safe.
  • 4. Add Medications and Set Reminders

    Personalize your experience with the Tempo Personalized Diabetes Management Platform by creating a profile, adding your medication list, and setting dosing reminders and notifications. Please reach out to your healthcare professional if you require any additional help.
