Purpose

More than 7 million Americans who have diabetes use insulin therapy. The majority continue to use syringes and vials or traditional insulin pens to deliver their insulin doses. Using these tools to deliver insulin presents numerous challenges for both the person with diabetes and their clinicians. This article provides an in-depth introduction to a new category of insulin delivery devices and integrated management systems, referred to as smart insulin pens. The article includes information about how these integrated insulin delivery systems can reduce many of the challenges of rapid-acting insulin dosing via injection by enabling easier and more accurate dose recording, dose calculations, and sharing of diabetes management data with clinicians. This article also discusses new roles for diabetes care and education specialists in diabetes data-driven care and practice and addresses how smart insulin pens represent one of many newer digital diabetes management tools that can assist people with diabetes and their clinicians to optimally achieve and deliver quality, data-driven diabetes care.

Conclusions

Newer and simplified insulin delivery devices with their integrated management systems, such as smart insulin pens, have the potential to minimize the challenges and complexities associated with insulin injection therapy while also providing people with diabetes and their clinicians more complete and integrated data in easily transmitted reports that support more efficient data analysis.

将智能胰岛素笔集成到数据驱动型糖尿病护理和教育服务中的参考指南

目的

超过700万患有糖尿病的美国人使用胰岛素疗法。大多数人继续使用注射器和小瓶或传统的胰岛素笔来递送其胰岛素剂量。使用这些工具来输送胰岛素对于糖尿病患者及其临床医生都面临着许多挑战。本文深入介绍了新型的胰岛素输送设备和集成管理系统，称为智能胰岛素笔。本文包括有关这些集成的胰岛素输送系统如何通过简化和更准确的剂量记录，剂量计算以及与临床医生共享糖尿病管理数据来减少通过注射快速给药的许多挑战的信息。

结论

新型和简化的胰岛素输送设备及其集成的管理系统，例如智能胰岛素笔，可以最大程度地减少与胰岛素注射疗法相关的挑战和复杂性，同时还可以通过易于传输的报告为糖尿病患者及其临床医生提供更完整和集成的数据支持更有效的数据分析。
