What is a Smart MDI system?

The Smart MDI system combines the power of our latest innovation in continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), Simplera™ CGM with the InPen™ Smart Insulin Pen.

The InPen™ smart insulin pen is designed to assist with tracking of insulin doses, dosing recommendations and missed dose alerts.

Simplera™ CGM helps you to know before you go low or high with real- time glucose readings, trends and alerts without fingersticks .

  • The InPen™ smart insulin pen is intended for single-patient use by people with diabetes for the self-injection of a desired dose of insulin. For patients who do not self-manage their diabetes, the use of InPen™ smart insulin pen should always be under the supervision of a caregiver.

We’ve updated our standalone CGM system app and hardware to improve the customer experience. These are the most significant updates that can be found in the Simplera™ CGM:
