I have not seen this message yet from Medtronic. Interesting. Once my Medtronic warranty is up, I will likely opt for the iPen option.

I just got the below update from Medtronic, and thought some on list might be interested in the aquisition of Companion by Medtronic.

“Dear Valued Customer,

Today, I’m thrilled to share that Companion Medical, the maker of InPen, will be joining our Medtronic family upon the formal close of the deal. What excites me most about Companion Medical is that we share the same important goal: to simplify diabetes management for more people no matter where they are in their journey. 
InPen is the only FDA-cleared smart insulin pen system paired with an integrated diabetes management app on the market. The InPen system automatically records insulin doses, tracks active insulin, and recommends mealtime and correction doses based on a bolus calculator, to help simplify diabetes management.
Our commitment to the diabetes community is to continue innovating and delivering groundbreaking technology that helps people with diabetes live their lives more freely. With the planned addition of InPen, we anticipate being able to make meaningful advancements for more people who are living with diabetes.
I invite you to visit our LOOP blog
to learn more about our vision. On behalf of the Medtronic family, we thank you for choosing us to support your diabetes management needs. We are grateful for your trust and will continue to work tirelessly to provide the support you need, the way you want it.”
