Medtronic InPen ™ Smart Insulin Pen

Why Do People Love the Medtronic InPen™ Smart Insulin Pen?

The InPen™ is a reusable smart insulin pen that uses Bluetooth® technology to send dose information to a mobile app. Offering support with dose calculations and tracking, the InPen system helps take some of the mental math out of your diabetes management.

The InPen app uses your glucose and carbohydrate levels to recommend the correct insulin dosage for you! It also considers the amount of active insulin still in your body to help avoid lows.

Dose Reminders

Worried about missing insulin doses? No need to be! The InPen app lets you set reminders to take your insulin at mealtimes.

Carb Counting Support

Not sure about the amount of carbs you can eat in a meal? The InPen app helps you calculate your insulin dose based on meal size or fixed dose option.

Digital Logbook

The InPen app tracks all your dosing information on your smartphone; no need to worry about forgetting to record a dose. Plus, all your dosing reports can easily be shared with your healthcare team!

Real Customers. Real Insights.

“The InPen gives me so much freedom. I don’t have to be connected to anything 24/7.”

The InPen is a reusable insulin pen for people living with diabetes. It can be used to deliver insulin, help calculate insulin doses, and estimate carbohydrates for meals.
