InPen™ app notifications & alerts
What are notifications?
The InPen™ app will send criticial alerts and notifications to your smart device to notify you of important actions needed. Notifications will differ depending on whether you are connected to a Medtronic CGM or not.
When connected to a Medtronic CGM:
- Missed Dose — this alert appears when the InPen app detects that the sensor glucose (SG) is rising quickly and there is no recent dose of rapid-acting insulin logged within the logbook.
- Correct High Glucose – this alert appears when your glucose is above your glucose target and the dose calculator would recommend a correction dose of rapid-acting insulin to get you back to your set glucose target. This alert considers your current sensor glucose and any active insulin to determine if a correction dose is needed.
- Long-acting Reminder – when no long-acting insulin has been recently logged, a reminder appears at your scheduled dose time that it is time to take your long-acting insulin dose.
- Replace Cartridge Reminder – this reminder occurs 28 days after a cartridge is replaced to help you remember to replace your insulin.
When not connected to a Medtronic CGM:
- Missed Dose — this alert occurs at the end of your configured meal time window when no rapid-acting insulin dose was logged within the set meal time window.
- Check Glucose 2hrs After Dose – this reminder helps you remember to check your blood glucose after each rapid-acting insulin dose and at bedtime.
- Long-acting Reminder – when no long-acting insulin has been recently logged, a reminder occurs at your scheduled dose time that it is time to take your long-acting insulin dose.
- Replace Cartridge Reminder – this reminder occurs 28 days after a cartridge is replaced to help you remember to replace your insulin.
