Settings Associated with Optimal Glycemic Outcomes with the Omnipod® 5 Automated Insulin Delivery System: Evidence from Real-World Users with Type 1 Diabetes

Diabetes Technol TherPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

These results provide actionable guidance for clinicians to optimize outcomes for people with T1D using the Omnipod 5 System.

Study context

Population
Omnipod 5 users aged ≥2 years with T1D in the United States and Europe with sufficient CGM data, January 1 to March 31, 2025analysed
Participants
176,405 participants
Exposure
Users with optimized device settings and expected system use vs users overall
Outcome
Achieving >70% TIR (70-180 mg/dL [3.9-10.0 mmol/L])

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Predictors of achieving >70% TIR
Higher number of user-initiated boluses/day, greater time in Automated Mode, lower glucose targets, and more aggressive correction factor (CF) and I:C ratio predicted >70% time in range (TIR)
all P < 0.001

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Consistency

Findings were consistent across geographic regions and prior insulin regimen

Safety

Time spent in hypoglycemia remained low across age groups
