InPen is InCredible.
I started using the this app and App last week. It is FANTASTIC!! Once I entered my therapy data, I started seeing information that I never saw before. The app is only going to get better, too. Good diabetes control requires knowing a lot of info. The App includes an online log book so I’ll know if I have myself a shot. I can also enter my blood sugar level whenever I want. The shots are AUTOMATICALLY entered and show in the home screen. It’s good now, and it’s going to get better. The App Store will have to add another star because the this app App is already a 5. I’ve had Type 1 diabetes since 1984!!

Great Product, Great service
This is a wonderful tool! The this app and the App allow me to manage my diabetes with more ease than before. I never forget when and how much insulin I’ve taken and the dose calculator takes the guess work out of my diabetes management. I can’t wait to share my data with my doctor. He’ll be thrilled to get a clean report rather than an oral report from my memory. I did need help signing into the App for the first time, but I called the tech support line and the nice young lady who answered the phone walked me through the process. She was very personable and understood the challenges I have been having with managing my diabetes. Kudos to the company for hiring people who care and can relate to patients. I’m happy with my decision to get the this app. I was skeptical but now, I realize that was foolish.

I had no idea how much I didn’t know
I’ve been a T1D for 18 years and this has been a game changer. I’ve never wanted to try a pump. My CGM is annoying enough! And the cost of a pump and CGM is crazy. My A1C was always good but I was on a constant roller coaster with my blood sugars. With this app, I’m amazed at what I didn’t know! Active Insulin in my body? Different sensitivity levels at different times of the day? I have 99% of the tools of a pump built in a pen?!? In short my CGM reading is so much smoother of a line and my time in range has increased 20% up to high 80% consistently. And my daily stress of dealing with my diabetes has gone down drastically. If you take shots or you’re on a pump and it’s getting too pricey, I wouldn’t hesitate to give this a shot. You won’t regret it.
