NOVOPEN Echo Plus Insulin Pen

Product Information

Smart insulin pens can also connect with certain apps that let you keep your insulin dosages and blood glucose data in one place. This means you can look at the timing and dose of your insulin in relation to any food you’ve eaten or activity you’ve done to see how it has affected you. The data can also tell you how much insulin is still working in your body which can help you make decisions for unplanned activity or unexpected sugar readings.

Roche expects Novo Nordisk insulin pen data will sync to the mySugr app and Accu-Chek SmartPix software. For mySugr Bundle users, coaches will now get injection history alongside other diabetes data.When asked if there was one thing he’d like to see improved, James adds: “Currently, on the FreeStyle LibreLink app a person must select if they have given an air shot or not. It would be useful and less time consuming if this could be automatically detected by the app.” In 2021 Novo Nordisk submitted an application to the Health Service Executive for reimbursement on the NovoPen ® 6 and NovoPen Echo ® Plus and we are still awaiting an outcome from that process. In the meantime, we believe it is important to make NovoPen ® 6 and NovoPen Echo ® Plus available now to those people who wish to use this technology to help manage their diabetes. Our smart connected insulin pens aim to empower people to better understand their diabetes management, have more informed conversations with their doctor and ultimately improve their blood glucose control.” She added: “In my clinic, the opportunity to view daily insulin data will allow me to better support the individual with diabetes to achieve their goals.

Emma Wilmot, Consultant Diabetologist, University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust said:“Integrating innovative technology as a routine part of diabetes care is an important step to improve diabetes care. NovoPen 6 and NovoPen Echo Plus are insulin injection pens that record dosing information, including when and how much insulin was administered. This data can be uploaded to a compatible app and viewed by people living with diabetes and their healthcare professionals. Currently, insulin injection dosing information is manually recorded in a log book or app. However, in clinical practice, incomplete or inaccurate information on insulin dosing and timing can be a significant barrier to optimising glycaemic control.Dexcom continuous glucose monitoring ( CGM) data will be combined with Novo Nordisk connected insulin pen data and “guidance information” to “give advice” that makes diabetes easier. The press release notes broadly that this will happen “in the coming years.” Dexcom recently acquired TypeZero, a startup that has insulin dosing advice algorithms for injection users. One day, it’s very possible Dexcom CGM users on injections will get personalized dosing advice based on their patterns. The deal with Roche will also see similar work, where Novo Nordisk insulin data will be synched with Roche’s diabetes management platforms, such as mySugr and Accu-Chek Smart Pix. It will allow for more tailored and informed advice on optimisation of glucose levels, with the ultimate goal of improving future outcomes.”

Providing your smartphone or tablet supports Near Field Communication (NFC) then Novo’s smart pens can be connected with the following apps:

When your pancreas is working properly it makes small amounts of insulin all the time and releases more insulin when your blood glucose levels increase after eating. When you have diabetes, your body does not make enough insulin or the insulin it makes does not work properly. Besides the connected insulin pens launch, the company intends to provide connectivity for its disposable, pre-filled injection pens next year.

Tom began using the Libre sensor alongside smart insulin pens in February 2022. He admits that prior to FreeStyle LibreLink connectivity being made available with the pens, using Glooko to link up the smart pen alongside LibreLink for sensor readings was useful, but also a challenge. This was because he had to navigate multiple apps at the same time. But he says the FreeStyle LibreLink integration of smart insulin pens is a ‘massive improvement’.
