Glycaemic outcomes in adults with type 2 diabetes over 34 weeks with the Omnipod® 5 Automated Insulin Delivery System

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Single-arm trial with extension phase

Authors' conclusion

These longer-term findings of Omnipod 5 AID System use demonstrate the potential value of AID in helping people with type 2 diabetes reach glycaemic targets.
