Endocrinologist and InPen

I had an appointment with my endocrinologist. I was a bit worried since she is fairly stern, and my A1C result sucked. I was supposed to see her last year but due to getting COVID and general procrastination, I did not see her until last week. Overall, the appointment went okay, partially because it was remote. However, she did adjust my insulin schedule, and prescribed an intelligent insulin pen called InPen. It is made by Medtronic and connects via Bluetooth to a mobile app. You are supposed to input your blood glucose reading and it will tell you how many units to inject. It does connect to a few continuous glucose monitors, but not the Libre 2 I am using.

I picked up the pen from my local pharmacy, but I am still waiting for the insulin cartridges to come. I still have several boxes of the old insulin pen so I will keep using those.

The pen casing feels like very light aluminum, and I like the deep blue color. Since Medicare paid 100%, I do not know how much the pen costs. I was able to connect it to the iOS app on my iPhone 12, and it is already notifying me to shoot up.

As for the endocrinologist, I have a follow-up meeting in one month and also in four months.
