Insulin Pens

Digital health management is increasingly pivotal in the care of patients with diabetes. The aim of this review was to evaluate the clinical benefits of using smart insulin pens with connectivity for diabetes management. The search was performed using PubMed and PubMed Central on May 15, 2019, to identify publications investigating the use of insulin pens. Studies evaluating insulin pens with connectivity via Bluetooth/Near Field Communication, with an associated electronic device enabling connectivity, or with a memory function were included in the review. Nine studies were identified in the search. Overall, these studies lacked data on smart insulin pens with a connectivity function, with eight of the available studies investigating only pens with a memory function. The studies focused primarily on assessing patient preference, usability, and technical accuracy. The number of studies assessing clinical outcomes was small ( n = 3). However, the majority of studies ( n = 8) reported that patients preferred smart insulin pens because they increased confidence with regard to diabetes self-management. These results suggest a lack of published data regarding smart insulin pens with connectivity for the management of diabetes. However, the available published data on usability and patient preference suggest that the use of smart insulin pens holds promise for improving and simplifying diabetes self-management.

Abstract Introduction Neo-adjuvant chemotherapy may be considered for suspected testicular malignancy if widespread life-threatening metastases are identified on computed tomography (CT) imaging. Staging preoperatively enables this and may prevent delays in ongoing oncological care. This project aimed to increase the proportion of staging scans performed preoperatively in the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS trust. Method All referrals between 01/01/2016 and 31/12/2018 to the urology multidisciplinary team for suspected testicular cancer were reviewed. Exclusion criteria were applied prior to collecting treatment pathway data for each patient. Based on initial audit findings, clinicians were advised to request staging CT scans at the first urology clinic appointment. Re-audit was between 01/01/2019 and 31/12/2019. Results Initial audit included 95 patients and re-audit included 23 patients. The proportion of preoperative scans increased from 28.4% to 82.6% following intervention. Median time from first ultrasound to CT was reduced from 44 days to 17 days without affecting median time to orchidectomy (27 to 23 days) or oncology appointment (61 days). Conclusions Requesting a staging CT scan as part of the first clinic assessment improved the proportion of preoperative scans without affecting time to surgery or oncology appointment.
