Patients with diabetes should keep daily records to achieve optimal insulin self-management2
Daily insulin self-management can be overwhelming3
Patients may face frequent, complex self-reporting:4
Insulin and/or oral medication dosing
• Glucose levels
Self-reported diabetes information is often unreliable1,5-6
Glycaemic control requires the ongoing assessment of insulin dosing patterns7
If your patients aren’t recording and reporting their dosing information, glycaemic control may be out of reach.2
And even if they are, you may not have time to review handwritten diary entries.8
NovoPen® 6 & NovoPen Echo® Plus are smart pens that automatically record information about each injection.
