Summary
This study tests whether a Bluetooth-enabled smart insulin pen, called InPen, can help teenagers with type 1 diabetes better control their blood sugar. The device helps calculate insulin doses and tracks injections, which may reduce errors. The trial involves 34 teens aged 13-21 who use multiple daily injections and have poor blood sugar control.
