The objective of the study is to evaluate the impact of a wireless smart insulin pen and
smartphone-based bolus advisor on clinical and psychosocial outcomes in insulin-treated
diabetes mellitus patients after 3 months of use.

The study is a prospective, randomized, controlled treatment design. The study device will be
used for multiple daily injection (MDI) therapy of insulin. The participant will interact
with the study device in the uncontrolled environment of the participant's daily life. The
study protocol is designed to yield meaningful data to determine clinical and psychosocial
benefits of using the study device. The study will evaluate the study device as an
intervention versus a control group.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. The participant is ≥ 18 years of age

2. The participant has Type 1 OR Type 2 diabetes and is being treated with intensive
insulin therapy via injection for ≥ 3 months. Intensive insulin therapy is defined as
at least one long acting insulin dose and two or more short acting insulin doses per
day.

3. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) ≥ 7.5%).

4. The participant is a current iPhone user for over 30 days.

5. Participant adjusts meal insulin doses based on carbohydrate content of meals.

6. The participant is fluent in the English language.

7. The participant and the investigator understand participant obligations and agree that
the participant is willing and able to complete the study visits.

8. Patients prandial insulin need must be <30 U per meal.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. The participant has been using unblinded CGM for less than 6 months.

2. The participant uses pre-mixed insulin.

3. Current use of a smart insulin pen.

4. Use of sliding scale insulin therapy that determines insulin dosages based exclusively
on specific blood glucose results

5. Used systemic oral or inhaled steroids for more than 7 days within the last 3 months

6. Oral anti-diabetic agents, with the exception of metformin

7. Injectable anti-diabetic agents other than insulin

8. The participant is legally blind or has below specified best-corrected vision level.

9. Diagnosed with any clinically significant infectious disease or major organ system
disease, such as gastroparesis or renal disease (at Investigator's discretion)

10. The participant is pregnant, lactating, or plans to become pregnant in the next 6
months.

11. The participant is currently participating in another clinical study that may preclude
the participant from meeting the obligations of this study.

12. The participant has any additional condition(s) (medical, social, or psychosocial)
that in the investigator's opinion would warrant exclusion from the study or prevent
the participant from completing or complying with the study requirements.
