If you’ve ever used a connected insulin pen (also known as a “smart pen”), what was your experience like? Tell us more in the comments! A “smart pen” connected insulin pens can offer extra technology with the simplicity of injections, like tracking the timing and dose of insulin, tracking insulin-on-board, and calculating insulin doses based on carbohydrate entries.

It was something different for me
Love love my InPen. Have used for three years. It shows all the information on the APP that a pump does but no more having device stuck to me. Don’t mind injections. Wore pump for 20 years. Was having trouble with scar tissue. Pump failures common. Traveling so much easier with pens. Only complaint I have is that they do not offer Lyumjev cartridge so I use humalog. May switch back to Lyumjev as it works so well for me. I can add doses manually on InPen app. Annoying but am considering. I do try to keep up with new pump technology. Not saying would never go back but right now MDI works for me
I like Lyumjev too! Works faster for me.
It helped me track when and how much insulin I had injected. It also would show me how much I had on board so if I needed to take additional insulin it would help me not to stack too much at a time.
I love it! Can’t live without one.
I used the InPen for two years when I needed a pump vacation from all those infusion sets. I would not have done it if there hadn’t been the InPen. I liked how it contained all my data that I could share with my doctor and review for myself. But I truly didn’t like having to take long acting insulin so I returned to the pump after two years when I found the Tandem pump with CIQ and happy to have better control managing my basal insulin.
I used the InPen for a year. Better than normal but not better than omnipod5 with Dexcom g6.
I am definitely going to buy a Novopen Echo Plus as soon as the battery in my current Novopen Echo dies to make logging doses easier. I find the IOB and dose estimating features too crude for treatment decisions at this time.
I see these positive comments and I guess I have to give it a try. Injecting for almost 50 years.
I have used the InPen for several years, since it was owned by Companion Med. I have had T1D for ten years now and have always been MDI. The InPen supplies me with so much information: when and how much I dosed with Novolog; how much IOB; how many carbs at a meal, etc. I have it set to remind me to take my Tresiba. I love it!
