pen integration

If you are an iOS user, you will be able to import insulin values (time and doses) from NovoPen® 6 and NovoPen Echo® Plus smart insulin pen into your mySugr Logbook via NFC (Near Field Communication). NFC is the same trusted technology used to make contactless payments via a smart phone, and it allows you to transfer the data to the mySugr app. You can benefit by tracking insulin data in addition to other relevant contextualised diabetes data within one app. This includes blood glucose values, continuous glucose monitoring data, carbohydrates, activity data, or medication - aiming to provide you with a better overview of your important diabetes data.

Follow these steps to connect your smart insulin pen to the mySugr Logbook:

1. Please open the mySugr Logbook, tap on Connections in the menu bar and select NovoPen® 6 and NovoPen Echo® Plus smart insulin pen from the list.
2. Tap on the Connect button.
3. You will be informed that the mySugr Bolus Calculator will be unavailable after connecting the smart insulin pen.
4. In the next step you can optionally agree to the data sharing agreement. However, it’s mandatory to confirm that you have read the pharmacovigilance report.
5. Now, please follow the instructions shown in the mySugr Logbook (1. First press the Scan button 2. Place the digital display of your pen to the top side of your iPhone).
6. Next, please select the insulin you are using for the pen you are connecting at the moment.

You can create comprehensive reports of your aggregated diabetes data in the mySugr Logbook from either the pre-defined time periods (2 weeks or 3 months) or a customized date range (mySugr PRO feature). You can share this report with healthcare professionals directly through the mySugr Logbook or print it for your next doctor’s appointment.
