After 90 days of OP5 use, glycemic control and pump interactions were minimally different between youth who self-started and those who trained with a diabetes educator.
Study context
- Population
- Youth with T1D aged <22 years initiating Omnipod 5 (OP5)
- Participants
- 297 participants
- Exposure
- Self-start with online industry-provided modules vs training with a diabetes educator
- Outcome
- Change in TIR from baseline to 90 days by training type
- Follow-up
- 90 days
Main finding
