Insulin Pen Overview

Priorities

Comfort

  • Longest lasting sensor
  • Sensor needs to be changed by your doctor
  • Have to carry pens and pen needles

    • Active Lifestyle

  • Because the sensor is under your skin, it won't get dislodged if it gets bumped
  • No way to adjust long acting insulin for higher activity on the fly

    • Avoiding Highs and Lows

  • Only sensor that vibrates on your skin to alert for high or low blood sugars; alerts work even when smart phone isn't close by
  • Syringes and pens limit your ability to adjust insulin throughout the day

    • Easy to Use

  • Sensor transmitter must be recharged every day
  • Sensor changes far less often than other types, but your doctor must do it
  • Pens are faster and easier to use than syringes

    • Easy Insulin Dosing

  • Can use sensor trends for dose adjustment
  • More precise dosing than syringes

    • Fewer Fingersticks

  • Daily fingersticks needed to calibrate sensor

    • Privacy

  • Pens are low profile
  • Ability to see sugar on watch or phone
  • Sensor not movable on body

    • Wisdom

    Hear what others who use this device combo have to say

    It’s most discreet. Of course when traveling with airline security I’m almost always stopped. But it’s no big deal. It doesn’t bother me as much.

    It doesn’t help to avoid fingersticks but it does let me know when I’m low without a finger stick. This is beneficial at night.

    My doctor asked me if I’d like to try it. I’ve always had a problem with nocturnal lows and my Eversense wakes me up so I can treat.

    Questions for your Doctor

    Can I try this before I commit to it?

    A lot of provider offices have sample devices you can touch and feel to get a sense of how they work. Some offices even have a trial device you can use for week to see how it works for you.
