Many years ago when I first got into diabetes care there was constant pushback on the idea of a pharmacist managing diabetes patients. The idea that a pharmacist could actually do pump trainings was unheard of. I thought we Pharmacists would be a natural choice because of our drug knowledge, but every pump company at the time had a different idea.

There were a couple of pump representatives who were willing to take a chance and gave me a chance to actually work with patients. One of them was Tony Galliani, my local Animas rep, and with his help I was able to prove that Pharmacists could indeed manage patients who use insulin pumps.

This week I am happy to share an interview that our publisher, Steve Freed, did with Tony as he describes the new InPen insulin delivery system, and how this may be the best simple solution for recording insulin dosing and never missing another dose.
