Real-world Effectiveness and Safety of Omnipod 5 in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes: a 12-month Observational Study.
Real-world Effectiveness and Safety of Omnipod 5 in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes: a 12-month Observational Study.
This retrospective observational cohort study aims to evaluate the real-world effectiveness and safety of the Omnipod® 5 Automated Insulin Delivery System in adults with type 1 diabetes receiving routine clinical care at a tertiary diabetes center. Continuous glucose monitoring metrics and glycated hemoglobin values obtained before initiation of Omnipod 5 and approximately after six, twelve and eighteen months of use will be compared to assess changes in glycemic control.
Automated insulin delivery systems have demonstrated significant improvements in glycemic outcomes in randomized clinical trials. However, evidence from routine clinical practice remains essential to evaluate effectiveness across broader patient populations and routine care settings.
This retrospective observational cohort study will include consecutive adults with type 1 diabetes who initiated treatment with the Omnipod® 5 Automated Insulin Delivery System during routine clinical practice at ASST Papa Giovanni XXIII Hospital, Bergamo, Italy.
Clinical and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data routinely collected during clinical follow-up will be extracted from medical records. Glycemic outcomes obtained before initiation of Omnipod 5 will be compared with those recorded after approximately six, twelve and eighteen months of system use.
The primary objective is to evaluate changes in Time in Range (70-180 mg/dL). Secondary objectives include assessment of HbA1c, Time Above Range, Time Below Range, glycemic variability, the proportion of participants achieving recommended international CGM targets; the prevalence of acute diabetes complications (severe hypoglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis); and rates and causes of system dropout.
