Use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is recognized as a valuable component of diabetes self-management and is increasingly considered a standard of care for individuals with diabetes who are ...treated with intensive insulin therapy. As the clinical use of CGM technology expands, consistent and standardized glycemic metrics and glucose profile visualization have become increasingly important. A common set of CGM metrics has been proposed by an international expert panel in 2017, including standard definitions of time in ranges, glucose variability, and adequacy of data collection. We describe the core CGM metrics, as well as the standardized glucose profile format consolidating 2 weeks of CGM measurements, referred to as the ambulatory glucose profile (AGP), which was also recommended by the CGM expert panel. We present an updated AGP report featuring the core CGM metrics and a visualization of glucose patterns that need clinical attention. New tools for use by clinicians and patients to interpret AGP data are reviewed. Strategies based on the authors' experience in implementing CGM technology across the clinical care spectrum are highlighted.
Advances in diabetes technology have transformed the treatment paradigm for type 1 diabetes, yet the burden of disease is significant. We report on a pivotal safety study of the first tubeless, ...on-body automated insulin delivery system with customizable glycemic targets.
This single-arm, multicenter, prospective study enrolled 112 children (age 6-13.9 years) and 129 adults (age 14-70 years). A 2-week standard therapy phase (usual insulin regimen) was followed by 3 months of automated insulin delivery. Primary safety outcomes were incidence of severe hypoglycemia and diabetic ketoacidosis. Primary effectiveness outcomes were change in HbA
and percent time in sensor glucose range 70-180 mg/dL ("time in range").
A total of 235 participants (98% of enrolled, including 111 children and 124 adults) completed the study. HbA
was significantly reduced in children by 0.71% (7.8 mmol/mol) (mean ± SD: 7.67 ± 0.95% to 6.99 ± 0.63% 60 ± 10.4 mmol/mol to 53 ± 6.9 mmol/mol,
< 0.0001) and in adults by 0.38% (4.2 mmol/mol) (7.16 ± 0.86% to 6.78 ± 0.68% 55 ± 9.4 mmol/mol to 51 ± 7.4 mmol/mol,
< 0.0001). Time in range was improved from standard therapy by 15.6 ± 11.5% or 3.7 h/day in children and 9.3 ± 11.8% or 2.2 h/day in adults (both
< 0.0001). This was accomplished with a reduction in time in hypoglycemia <70 mg/dL among adults (median interquartile range: 2.00% 0.63, 4.06 to 1.09% 0.46, 1.75,
< 0.0001), while this parameter remained the same in children. There were three severe hypoglycemia events not attributable to automated insulin delivery malfunction and one diabetic ketoacidosis event from an infusion site failure.
This tubeless automated insulin delivery system was safe and allowed participants to significantly improve HbA
levels and time in target glucose range with a very low occurrence of hypoglycemia.
Very young children with type 1 diabetes often struggle to achieve glycemic targets, putting them at risk for long-term complications and creating an immense management burden for caregivers. We ...conducted the first evaluation of the Omnipod 5 Automated Insulin Delivery System in this population.
A total of 80 children aged 2.0-5.9 years used the investigational system in a single-arm study for 13 weeks following 14 days of baseline data collection with their usual therapy.
There were no episodes of severe hypoglycemia or diabetic ketoacidosis. By study end, HbA1c decreased by 0.55% (6.0 mmol/mol) (P < 0.0001). Time with sensor glucose levels in target range 70-180 mg/dL increased by 10.9%, or 2.6 h/day (P < 0.0001), while time with levels <70 mg/dL declined by median 0.27% (P = 0.0204).
Use of the automated insulin delivery system was safe, and participants experienced improved glycemic measures and reduced hypoglycemia during the study phase compared with baseline.
The objective of this study was to assess the safety and effectiveness of the first commercial configuration of a tubeless automated insulin delivery system, Omnipod
5, in children (6-13.9 years) and ...adults (14-70 years) with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in an outpatient setting.
This was a single-arm, multicenter, prospective clinical study. Data were collected over a 14-day standard therapy (ST) phase followed by a 14-day hybrid closed-loop (HCL) phase, where participants (
= 36) spent 72 h at each of three prespecified glucose targets (130, 140, and 150 mg/dL, 9 days total) then 5 days with free choice of glucose targets (110-150 mg/dL) using the Omnipod 5. Remote safety monitoring alerts were enabled during the HCL phase. Primary endpoints were difference in time in range (TIR) (70-180 mg/dL) between ST and HCL phases and proportion of participants reporting serious device-related adverse events.
Mean TIR was significantly higher among children in the free-choice period overall (64.9% ± 12.2%,
< 0.01) and when using a 110 mg/dL target (71.2% ± 10.2%,
< 0.01), a 130 mg/dL target (61.5% ± 7.7%,
< 0.01), and a 140 mg/dL target (64.8% ± 11.6%,
< 0.01), and among adults using a 130 mg/dL target (75.1% ± 11.6%,
< 0.05), compared to the ST phase (children: 51.0% ± 13.3% and adults: 65.6% ± 15.7%). There were no serious device-related adverse events reported during the HCL phase, nor were there episodes of severe hypoglycemia or diabetic ketoacidosis.
The Omnipod 5 System was safe and effective when used at glucose targets from 110 to 150 mg/dL for 14 days at home in children and adults with T1D.
Purpose of Review
In this article, we consider advanced technologies for the management of diabetes.
Recent Findings
Specifically, we pose the question of which should come first: an insulin pump ...(CSII) or a continuous glucose monitor (CGM)? Historical perspective on both insulin delivery and glucose measurement is provided. Recently published clinical trials are reviewed. Practical issues including quality of life, patient education, and out-of-pocket cost are discussed.
Summary
Based on available evidence and clinical experience, we favor CGM as a first-line technology recommendation for the treatment of type 1 diabetes (T1D).
To evaluate safety and effectiveness of MiniMed™ 670G hybrid closed loop (HCL) in comparison with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) therapy for 6 months in persons with type 1 diabetes ...(T1D).
Adults (aged 18-80 years), adolescents, and children (aged 2-17 years) with T1D who were using CSII therapy were enrolled and randomized (1:1) to 6 months of HCL intervention (n = 151, mean age of 39.9 ± 19.8 years) or CSII without continuous glucose monitoring (n = 151, 35.7 ± 18.4 years). Primary effectiveness endpoints included change in A1C for Group 1 (baseline A1C >8.0%), from baseline to the end of study, and difference in the end of study percentage of time spent below 70 mg/dL (%TBR <70 mg/dL) for Group 2 (baseline A1C ≤8.0%), to show superiority of HCL intervention versus control. Secondary effectiveness endpoints were change in A1C and %TBR <70 mg/dL for Group 2 and Group 1, respectively, to show noninferiority of HCL intervention versus control. Primary safety endpoints were rates of severe hypoglycemia and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).
Change in A1C and difference in %TBR <70 mg/dL for the overall group were significantly improved, in favor of HCL intervention. In addition, a significant mean (95% confidence interval) change in A1C was observed for both Group 1 (-0.8% -1.1% to -0.4%,
< 0.0001) and Group 2 (-0.3% -0.5% to -0.1%,
< 0.0001), in favor of HCL intervention. The same was observed for difference in %TBR <70 mg/dL for Group 1 (-2.2% -3.6% to -0.9%) and Group 2 (-4.9% -6.3% to -3.6%) (
< 0.0001 for both). There was one DKA event during run-in and six severe hypoglycemic events: two during run-in and four during study (HCL: n = 0 and CSII: n = 4 6.08 per 100 patient-years).
This RCT demonstrates that the MiniMed 670G HCL safely and significantly improved A1C and %TBR <70 mg/dL compared with CSII control in persons with T1D, irrespective of baseline A1C level.
The Omnipod 5 AID System is a tubeless hybrid closed-loop system with on-body operation and customizable glucose targets. Safe and effective system use was demonstrated in children aged 2-5.9y with ...type 1 diabetes (T1D) during a 3-mo pivotal study. To evaluate durability of glycemic benefit, we analyzed results from 9mo of an ongoing extension study, totaling 12mo of system use. In the pivotal study, participants used the system for 3mo at home, after 14d of their standard therapy (ST, pump or multiple daily injections) . They were then invited to participate in the extension study. Safety endpoints were occurrence of severe hypoglycemia (SH) and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) . Glycemic outcomes were A1C and percent time in ranges (TIR 70-180 mg/dL, TBR <70 mg/dL, TAR >180 mg/dL) during 3-mo AID intervals compared with ST. All pivotal trial participants (N=80) , aged (mean±SD) 4.7±1.0y with T1D duration 2.3±1.1y and total daily insulin of 14±4U (range: 5.3-27U) at baseline, enrolled in the extension. Improved outcomes were observed for up to 12mo, including lower A1C and greater TIR during each AID interval compared with ST (all p<0.05, Table) . There were no episodes of DKA or SH in the 12-mo study. The safety and improved glycemic outcomes from the initial 3mo pivotal study persisted for an additional 9mo, indicating the potential long-term benefit of the Omnipod 5 System in very young children with T1D.

The Omnipod 5 System is a novel hybrid closed-loop (HCL) system with full on-body operation. A tubeless insulin pump containing a personalized MPC algorithm communicates directly with a Dexcom G6 CGM ...to automate insulin delivery. Following demonstration of positive safety and efficacy in older children (≥6y) and adults, we evaluated the system in very young children (2-5.9y) with T1D. Preschoolers with T1D often have erratic eating behaviors and may dislike being tethered to devices, and parental concern may lead to permissive hyperglycemia. This HCL system may be ideal for young children, given its customizable glucose targets from 110-150mg/dL, wireless system interaction through a mobile application, and bolus calculator that incorporates CGM trend information. Also, the system has no minimum weight or total daily dose (TDD) requirement. Participants with T1D and A1C<10% used their respective standard therapies (ST) for 14d, and then transitioned to use of the HCL system for 3mo. Primary safety outcomes are the incidence of severe hypoglycemia (SH) and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Primary effectiveness outcomes are change in A1C and percent of time in target range (TIR, 70-180 mg/dL) with the HCL system compared with ST. Baseline characteristics of participants (N=80) were (mean±SD) age 4±1y (range 2-5y), T1D duration 2.2±1.1y, and A1C 7.4±0.9%, with mean (range) TDD 13.7 (5.3-27.1) U/day and weight 20 (12-53) kg. There have been no serious adverse events, including SH and DKA, reported in over 5,254 person-days of HCL use. During the ST phase, TIR was 57.2±15.1%, time <54mg/dL was 0.8±1.7%, <70mg/dL was 3.4±3.9%, >180mg/dL was 39.4±16.5%, and ≥250mg/dL was 14.7±12.0%. The same efficacy analysis is planned for the 3-month HCL phase upon its completion in January 2021. This multi-center pivotal study has, to date, demonstrated safety of the Omnipod 5 System in very young children with T1D. At completion, this will be the largest study of HCL in this age group reported to date.

AID systems must accommodate a wide range of insulin requirements safely and effectively to apply to a broad population. We evaluated glycemic outcomes among people ages 2 to 70y with T1D and ...baseline A1C<10% during a 3-mo home trial with the Omnipod 5 AID System, stratified by their baseline total daily insulin dose (TDD) during a 14-day standard therapy phase (ST, multiple daily injections or pump therapy) before AID use. No minimum TDD or weight was required to enter the study. Glycemic outcomes (time in range (TIR) 70-180 mg/dL, time below range (TBR) <70 mg/dL, time above range (TAR) >180 mg/dL) and change in TDD were evaluated across 6 ST TDD ranges, from <10U to ≥65U, during AID compared with ST. Participants (N=320) had a ST TDD of (mean ± SD) 34.8±21.7U (range 5.3-166.0U) . TDD during AID ranged from 5.0 to 110.7U; TDD increased slightly for those using <30U per day. TIR increased during AID across all TDD ranges (p<0.05, Table) . TAR and TBR were reduced in groups with TDD ≥10U and TDD ≥20U, respectively. Multiple linear regression indicated that older age and higher TIR during ST (both p<0.05) were associated with higher TIR during AID, while no relationship was found between ST TDD and TIR during AID (p=0.29, r2=0.57) . The Omnipod 5 System was safe and effective for a large cohort of people with T1D ages 2 to 70y across a wide range of insulin needs.
