NCT ID NCT06406439
First seen Jul 30, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This trial tests whether a smart insulin pen called DIA:CONN P8 can help people with type 1, type 2, or pancreatogenic diabetes better control their blood sugar. Participants use the pen for 12 weeks, and the pen automatically calculates bolus insulin doses based on meal information and other factors. The study compares changes in HbA1c levels between those using the smart pen and those using standard insulin injections.
