Any "smart" insulin pens for humalog or lantus cartridges?

[EllieM]

Tired of occasionally forgetting whether and how much insulin I've had. Are there any pens for my insulins ? I'd be happy to buy them from the manufacturer if NZ pharmac doesn't supply them...

The In-pen works for Humalog.
I have no experience with it, apparently it uses an app.

No smart pens for Lantus, but you'll only need to remember if you took it or not, not the dose so much.
So you can use a Timesulin cap for it. (No experience with that either.)

Are those available in NZ @EllieM ?

My pens for Novo Rapid used to tell me when and how much insulin I had injected , they have recently changed me to Trurapi insulin so I don't have that luxury anymore !

What pen do you use for your Trurapi?
If it's a Solostar disposable pen by Sanofi you could get a Timesulin cap. While that won't remember the dose, at least it remembers the time.

Thanks Antje77 , I am using a reusable pen for the Trurapi , it would be nice to have the Novo pen information but I think I will manage without it , I have used a timesulin before for my Basel but found it a bit cumbersome for everyday bolus in and out of pockets etc .
