I am currently using the inpen as @needlesandmath has said it does do a lot. I got it especially for 1/2 unit dosing. It does calculations well & tracks IOB. Problem is it is not compatible with Dexcom G7 only the G6 & I am not going back there. I am doing a lot of dual entries Dex~Inpen. If I had it to do again I would strongly look at the Novopen Echo Plus. Its G7 compatible @TomH mentioned it on another thread.

> Yes, NovoPen Echo is available in the US. I did the same thing due to 1/2 unit dosing, but decided a pump was in my future. The pen works with cartridges, so if you’re getting one, make sure the cartridges get ordered at the same time. I was disappointed with the split body of the pen for loading cartridges, seemed a little flimsy to me, relatively easy to break apart.
