Safety and Efficacy of the Omnipod 5 Automated Insulin Delivery System in Adults With Type 2 Diabetes: From Injections to Hybrid Closed-Loop Therapy

Diabetes CarePublished Single-arm feasibility trial

Authors' conclusion

Findings from this feasibility trial of AID in adults with type 2 diabetes with suboptimal glycemic outcomes justify further evaluation of this technology in this population.

Study context

Population
Adults with T2D on basal-only or basal-bolus insulin injections, baseline HbA1c ≥8% (≥64 mmol/mol); mean age 61 ± 8 years, baseline HbA1c 9.4% ± 0.9%, diabetes duration 19 ± 9 years
Participants
24 adults
Comparison
Automated insulin delivery (AID) vs prior standard therapy
Outcome
Primary safety outcomes: % time with sensor glucose ≥250 mg/dL and <54 mg/dL during AID
Methodological detailsmulticenter, outpatient, Antihyperglycemic agents continued at clinician discretion, Basal-only users used AID in manual mode for 2 weeks before starting AID
  • Multicenter
  • Outpatient
  • Antihyperglycemic agents continued at clinician discretion
  • Basal-only users used AID in manual mode for 2 weeks before starting AID

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

16.9 %

P < 0.0001

Further findings

HbA1c change with AID

HbA1c decreased (± SD), P < 0.0001
1.3% ± 0.7% (14 ± 8 mmol/mol)

TIR (70-180 mg/dL) change with AID

TIR increased, P < 0.0001
21.9% ± 15.2%

Total daily insulin and BMI

No significant change in total daily insulin or BMI with AID
