Simplified Meal Bolus Strategies with Control-IQ+ Automated Insulin Delivery Are Safe and Effective in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes

Diabetes Technol TherPublished Secondary analysis of the 2IQP randomised trial

Authors' conclusion

Simplified bolus strategies worked well for adults with type 2 diabetes using Control-IQ+ in the 2IQP trial. All bolus strategies led to substantial HbA1c improvements, without safety concerns.
