Abstract
BACKGROUND: Connected insulin pens capture data on insulin dosing/timing and can integrate with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices with essential insulin and glucose metrics into a single platform. Standardization of connected insulin pen reports is desirable to enhance clinical utility with a single report.
METHODS: An international expert panel was convened to develop a standardized connected insulin pen report incorporating insulin and glucose metrics into a single, clinically useful report. An extensive literature review and identification of examples of current connected insulin pen reports was performed serving as the basis for creation of a draft of a standardized connected insulin pen report. The expert panel participated in three virtual standardization meetings and online surveys.
RESULTS: The AGP Report: Connected Insulin Pen brings all clinically relevant CGM-derived glucose and connected insulin pen metrics into a single simplified two-page report. The first page contains the time in ranges bar, summary of key insulin and glucose metrics, the ambulatory glucose profile (AGP) curve, and detailed basal (long-acting) insulin assessment. The second page contains the bolus (mealtime and correction) insulin assessment periods with information on meal timing, insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio (ICR), average bolus insulin dose and number of days with bolus doses recorded. The report's second page contains daily glucose profiles with an overlay of the timing and amount of basal and bolus insulin administered.
CONCLUSION: The AGP Report: Connected Insulin Pen is a standardized clinically useful report that should be considered by companies developing connected pen technology as part of their system reporting/output.
