Smart pen tracks insulin doses to improve diabetes control
NCT ID NCT05069545
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether using a smart insulin pen (NovoPen 6) with two insulins (Tresiba and Fiasp) helps people with type 1 diabetes achieve better blood sugar levels. About 411 adults took part for 9-11 months, using their own continuous glucose monitor and a mobile app to see insulin doses alongside glucose readings. The goal was to see if having this data together improves time spent in the target blood sugar range.
