INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 22 (UPI) -- Eli Lilly Thursday launched Memoir in the United States, which it is billing as the first insulin pen with memory.
Memoir, which can be used with Humalog insulin, has a digital display that enables patients to record and review their last 16 insulin doses. The intent is to help patients simplify the daily management of diabetes.
"Practical and innovative solutions such as Lilly's new Memoir pen can help ease the management of diabetes at mealtimes," said Matt Beebe, Lilly's Humalog brand team leader. "Our goal is to help patients more accurately and discreetly manage their use of mealtime insulin such as Humalog."
Lilly also said it plans to launch another insulin pen, Luxura HD, in April. Luxura HD enables the delivery of Humalog in smaller increments for children and others who do not need large amounts of insulin.
