Dose Decision Support System

The Bigfoot Unity System, which is the centerpiece of our larger Bigfoot Unity Program, is the first and only FDA cleared solution for people with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes on MDI therapy that directly integrates continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data to provide an insulin dose recommendation.1 The dose, which is based upon instructions from the person's health care professional, is displayed directly on proprietary, connected smart caps of the person's disposable insulin pens. Cleared for use by individuals aged 12 and up, the system is designed to clearly, and in real time, help answer the question, “How much insulin would my doctor recommend I take right now?”

The Bigfoot Unity Welcome Kit


Bigfoot bundles together hardware and software components needed for technology to support MDI therapy. Your patient will receive a comprehensive welcome kit containing Bigfoot’s smart pen caps for long-acting and rapid-acting insulins, two FreeStyle Libre 2 sensors, pen needles, a backup blood glucose meter and supplies.

The kit isn’t the whole program. The overall Bigfoot Unity Diabetes Management Program also provides them with the Bigfoot Unity Mobile App for iPhone and connects them to you to facilitate ongoing, continual care. Bigfoot provides your patients with training and onboarding to their new tools, supporting them every step of the way.

Important Safety Information for the Bigfoot Unity Diabetes Management System
The Bigfoot Unity System is indicated for management of diabetes in persons 12 years and older. Bigfoot Unity provides glucose monitoring data via the Abbott FreeStyle Libre 2 Flash Glucose Monitoring sensor. The system incorporates real time alarm capabilities and is designed to replace blood glucose testing for diabetes treatment decisions, unless otherwise indicated. The device is intended to provide insulin dose information using the available glucose data to assist persons with diabetes mellitus who use disposable pen-injectors for the self-injection of insulin in implementing health care provider recommended insulin dose regimens. The system must not be used with automated insulin dosing (AID) systems, including closed loop and insulin suspend systems.

The Bigfoot Unity System requires a prescription. A health care provider must supply appropriate settings for the device based on user specific criteria. It is not intended to be used by individuals who dose insulin in ½ unit increments, take multiple daily doses of long-acting insulin or take high doses of vitamin C (more than 500 mg per day).

The system provides dose recommendations; however, the final decision on when and how to dose is up to the individual user. Failure to use the system according to the instructions for use may result in missing a severe low blood glucose or high blood glucose event and/or making a treatment decision that may result in injury.

For complete details of the system and its components, including warnings, contraindications, and precautions, please consult the Bigfoot Unity User Guide.

The Bigfoot Unity Diabetes Management Program incorporates components intended to support health care providers in remote physiologic monitoring of their enrolled patients, facilitating on-going diabetes therapy adjustments. The Program does not incorporate real-time monitoring (by either Bigfoot or any other entity, including the health care provider) and does not replace the enrolled patient’s responsibility to proactively monitor their own glucose values and make appropriate treatment decisions.
