Smart Insulin Pen
Also known as: Connected Pen, NovoPen 6, InPen
An insulin pen with built-in Bluetooth and dose-tracking software that logs injections and guides bolus calculations.
Smart insulin pens add connectivity and dose calculation software to traditional pen injection therapy. They record the time, amount, and (in some cases) insulin type of every injection automatically. This data is transmitted to a paired app that tracks active insulin-on-board, suggests correction doses, and integrates with CGM data.
Examples include the NovoPen 6 (Novo Nordisk, Bluetooth, reusable, compatible with Dexcom CGM app integration), the Eli Lilly connected cap (attaches to standard Lilly pens), and the InPen (Medtronic, compatible with multiple insulin types, integrates with Guardian CGM).
For people using MDI (multiple daily injections) rather than a pump, smart pens offer much of the dose-tracking and titration-support capability of insulin pumps without the cost and complexity of pump therapy. Medicare coverage of smart pens as DME was expanding as of 2025 — check with your DME supplier for current coverage status.
