Smart Insulin Pen in Pregnant Women with Type 1 Diabetes: An Encouraging Case Series

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Background The management of type 1 diabetes in pregnancy with new technologies is challenging. Sometimes the complexity of new-generation systems such as CSII (continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion) and patient or provider preference do not allow their use, so women with type 1 diabetes in pregnancy continue to be treated with subcutaneous multiple injection insulin therapy using pens. Smart insulin pens are new tools that allow data collection on insulin dose and time of administration and have additional connectivity features. Objective To retrospectively describe the use of a smart insulin pen coupled with rt-CGM (InPen TM system) in 3 pregnancies complicated by type 1 diabetes. The cases presented are the first report of the use of the smart insulin pen in type 1 diabetic patients during pregnancy.
