This 12-month extension of a randomized controlled trial evaluated the Omnipod 5 Automated Insulin Delivery System in 75 adults with Type 1 diabetes. Results showed a significant increase in time in range (70-180 mg/dL) by 17.9% and a decrease in HbA1c from 8.33% to 7.18%, indicating sustained glycemic control and safety.
Key findings
- Time in range (70-180 mg/dL) increased by 17.9% to 62.3%.
- HbA1c decreased from 8.33% to 7.18% (-1.14%).
- Time above range (>180 mg/dL) decreased by 17.7%.
- Adverse events were infrequent at 12 per 100 person-years.
Why it matters
The study provides evidence that the Omnipod 5 AID system can sustain glycemic control and improve quality of life in adults with Type 1 diabetes, which is crucial for long-term diabetes management.
