Meal Time Insulin

A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question đź’­
Fort Worth, TX

Meal time insulin is coming for sure. I see my Dr. in September and my am and pm bs are very high. The increase of Toujeo to 80 units is not bringing it down. I really don't like all this testing I will be doing. I have never had to worry about low bs. How do these pumps work? Will they help me have less needle sticks? Do they administer insulin? I need to be educated and know you, my friends, will help. I feel good. Each day is different. Life is an adventure
God bless all of you. Thank you… read more

Does Anyone Know Of An Smart Insulin Pen That Is Not InPen And Available In USA??

A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question đź’­
Worthington, OH

Hi đź‘‹

I am a T2D on insulin (Long AND short term).
I am currently MDI instead of a pump.
I live in the USA
My phone is a android Samsung
I use Dexcom G7 as my CGM.

Is there an non-pump alternative to the InPen that will automatically track my Novolog injections?

Dont really care about calculation capability.
Not interested in entering carbs, so “On Board” is meaningless

Just want… read more
