The NovoPen injection data can be stored onto FreeStyle LibreView (the cloud-based data system where data can be shared with healthcare teams) which allows me to see how much insulin a person is using, and whether they missed an injection. It has simply made a positive difference to my consultations and experiences of people in my clinic.” The kid-friendly Echo Plus allows for half-unit dosing and a maximum 30-unit injection, whereas the NovoPen 6 has a minimum dose of one unit and a maximum dose of 60 units.

On interoperability with connective devices, Dr Griffin says: “Traditionally a person living with diabetes could see their glucose data in one place and would have needed to keep a manual log of their insulin data – often on paper or on a different platform. Technology is rapidly changing the way we manage and live with diabetes, mainly Type 1 diabetes, and is enabling us to manage our condition better and achieve better long-term outcomes. The availability of new technologies, such as Smart Insulin pens, further enables us to achieve better clinical and quality of life outcomes each day and is a welcome diabetes tool in Ireland”, said Dr Kate Gajewska, Clinical Manager for Advocacy and Research, Diabetes Ireland.

In 2021 Novo Nordisk submitted an application to the Health Service Executive for reimbursement on the NovoPen ® 6 and NovoPen Echo ® Plus and we are still awaiting an outcome from that process. In the meantime, we believe it is important to make NovoPen ® 6 and NovoPen Echo ® Plus available now to those people who wish to use this technology to help manage their diabetes. Smart insulin pens are reusable devices that automatically record when a person has injected insulin, including how much has been injected and at what time of the day.

Novo Nordisk has signed collaboration agreements with Glooko, Roche and DexCom to support the future integration of its NovoPen 6 and NovoPen Echo Plus insulin pens with digital health solutions. NovoPen ® 6 and NovoPen Echo ® Plus automatically record accurate and reliable insulin dosing information, giving people insight into their own data, and enabling more productive conversations with their healthcare provider, that can lead to better health outcomes. Diabetes is a difficult condition to manage and the number of people living with it is on the rise. When diabetes is poorly controlled and not managed properly it can lead to health complications for people.
