The rich data has allowed me to have more meaningful consultations that are beneficial for the person living with type 1 diabetes and their families. Roche expects Novo Nordisk insulin pen data will sync to the mySugr app and Accu-Chek SmartPix software. NovoPen 6 and NovoPen Echo Plus are insulin injection pens that record dosing information, including when and how much insulin was administered. The pens have an 800-injection dose memory and a remarkable five-year battery life – no recharging is necessary, an advantage of using NFC. James Ridgeway, 34, is a diabetes specialist nurse (DSN) with type 1 diabetes who has seen both the personal and professional side of using smart insulin pens.It does not seem that users will initially have their own Novo Nordisk app to download the pens onto their own phone, but mySugr hopes to add this functionality to its app. This feature will capture insulin doses through a Bluetooth-enabled smart device that is attached to the widely used disposable FlexTouch pen. These partners (and likely more to come) will integrate insulin injection data into their apps/platforms, and in some cases, including dosing advice based on it. For me, the best thing was that it became a safety net in terms of knowing when I last injected insulin. The attachment will transmit the insulin dose, time of dose, and the type of insulin being injected to a phone app (an important safety precaution to avoid mix-ups).
