Diabetes technology could be doing a lot more for you

The smart insulin injection system uses a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and the InPen™ smart insulin pen together to:


  • Help you decide how much insulin to give
  • Automatically log your doses
  • Remind you to give mealtime and background insulin
  • Show you how foods & activities affect your sugars
  • When using with the i-Port Advance™ injection port, you can reduce needle pokes by 93%**

It’s time you ask more of your diabetes technology and let it do more of the work for you.

Frequently asked questions


The InPen is the only FDA-cleared smart3 insulin pen that combines the freedom of Bluetooth® technology and intelligence through an easy to use smartphone app, helping people administer correction and mealtime insulin doses.

InPen is a prescription-only device. Eligible patients with commercial insurance may pay as little as $35 per prescribed InPen. Each InPen is reusable for one year. Terms and conditions apply. Learn more.

Cartridges are not included with InPen. You’ll need a separate prescription for cartridges. Cartridges can be ordered from the same pharmacy where you get your other diabetes supplies. InPen is compatible with Humalog, Novolog and Fiasp U-100 3.0 mL insulin cartridges.
The InPen app allows you to manually log your long-acting insulin doses and set up dose reminders to take your long-acting insulin. InPen works with the following short-acting insulins: Novolog, Humalog, and Fiasp.

Yes, you can pair as many InPens as you need to the app. This enables the flexibility for you to have one InPen at home and another at work or school.

Note: Make sure your paired device is within range of your InPen when you dose. Your InPen app will automatically sync doses from all paired InPen(s) when within range.

Active Insulin, also known as insulin-on-board (IOB), is an estimate of how much insulin from recent doses is still active in your body. For example, if you take a 5 unit dose, there will initially be a full 5.0 units in your body. Over several hours this will decrease as your body uses the insulin. The InPen app shows active insulin from rapid-acting and mealtime insulin only, not long-acting or basal insulin.
Active insulin is shown on the homescreen below the calculate dose button. This number shows your total active insulin based on all rapid-acting and mealtime doses from the past eight hours.
Yes, the i-Port Advance™ injection port is compatible with the InPen. Needles used with the i-Port Advance™ injection port need to be 5-8mm (3/16-5/16”) in length and 32-28 gauge.
Yes, the integration is compatible with both iOS and Android™ devices, however you should check compatibility for both the Guardian™ Connect system and the InPen app prior to ordering.
