The InPen™ is a reusable smart insulin pen that uses Bluetooth® technology to send dose information to a mobile app. Offering dose calculations and tracking, InPen helps take some of the mental math out of your diabetes management.
Get started with InPen
The app uses your glucose levels and a carbohydrate estimate to recommend the dose that’s right for you. It even considers the amount of insulin that’s still working in your body, to help you avoid lows.
The InPen app can help you avoid missed insulin doses. It allows you to set reminders to take insulin at common meal times.
The InPen app can help you estimate carbs based on your meal size. There’s also a fixed dose option that allows you to choose the same carb amount for a specific meal each day.
The InPen app works like a digital logbook, tracking your dosing data on your phone. Plus, reports can be easily shared with your healthcare team.
A therapy helping people living with diabetes manage their insulin dosing more easily.

"I absolutely LOVE my InPen! It’s great for when I discuss going on a pump break with my healthcare provider so I can transition from a pump to multiple daily injections." Φ

Are insulin cartridges included?
Cartridges are not included with InPen. You’ll need a separate prescription for cartridges. Cartridges can be ordered from the same pharmacy where you get your other diabetes supplies. InPen is compatible with Humalog, Novolog and Fiasp U-100 3.0 mL insulin cartridges.
Does InPen work with long-acting insulin?
The InPen app allows you to manually log your long-acting insulin doses and set up dose reminders to take your long-acting insulin, but the injector itself is only indicated for use with the following short-acting insulins: Novolog, Humalog, and Fiasp.
Can I pair more than one InPen to the app?
Yes, you can pair as many InPens as you need to the app. This enables the flexibility for you to have one InPen at home and another at work or school.
Note: Make sure your paired device is within range of your InPen when you dose. Your InPen app will automatically sync doses from all paired InPen(s) when within range.
What is active insulin and how is it shown in the app?
Active Insulin, also known as insulin-on-board (IOB), is an estimate of how much insulin from recent doses is still active in your body. For example, if you take a 5 unit dose, there will initially be a full 5.0 units in your body. Over several hours this will decrease as your body uses the insulin. The InPen app shows active insulin from rapid-acting and mealtime insulin only, not long-acting or basal insulin.
How is active insulin shown in the app?
Active insulin is shown on the homescreen below the calculate dose button. This number shows your total active insulin based on all rapid-acting and mealtime doses from the past eight hours.
Is the i-Port Advance™ injection port compatible with the InPen?
Yes, the i-Port Advance™ injection port is compatible with the InPen. Needles used with the i-Port Advance™ injection port need to be 5-8mm (3/16-5/16”) in length and 32-28 gauge.
Is the InPen integration with the Guardian™ Connect system compatible with both iOS and Android™ devices?
Yes, the integration is compatible with both iOS and Android™ devices, however you should check compatibility for both the Guardian™ Connect system and the InPen app prior to ordering.
