Connected Insulin Pens and Pen Caps: Expanding Diabetes Technology Access and Adoption
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: With the availability of connected insulin pens and pen caps, the most used insulin delivery method around the world has entered the digital age and enabled data-informed care for a broader population. Data from these devices are revealing gaps in care for people on multiple daily injection insulin therapy. Incorporating connected insulin pens and pen caps can significantly improve diabetes management for the people who use them by supporting precision insulin injection management. Health care providers are encouraged to embrace these capabilities and develop person-centric practice protocols for their use. Doing so will expand access to and adoption of diabetes technology for all individuals on insulin therapy, regardless of how they choose to administer their insulin.
