There's an InPen app that tracks doses shows last injections, notifies of how much insulin is left in the pen, etc. It provides suggestions for insulin doses based on carbs you eat, which you can input and BGs, as it can pair with CGMs like Dexcom. Hope this answers your questions.

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.

With the planned addition of InPen, we anticipate being able to make meaningful advancements for more people who are living with diabetes.
