Advancing Telemedicine Using Smart Insulin Pens with Continuous Glucose Monitoring and Telecommunication Systems: A Case Series.

ABSTRACT: Background: Multiple daily injections (MDIs) have been a mainstay for insulin delivery by persons with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). "Smart" insulin pens (SIPs) offer several advantages over traditional insulin pens, such as a memory function, bolus calculator, and reminders for patients to take their insulin. SIPs can integrate with CGM, allowing for the collection of accurate insulin and glucose data, which can integrate into combined reports. Using these technologies along with telecommunication modalities provides an infrastructure to improve the way in which healthcare can be delivered to those with diabetes. Methods: Four cases of uncontrolled T1DM managed by MDIs (and not insulin pumps) and deemed to have plateaued in their management were selected to retrospectivel
