NCT ID NCT06865989
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compared a new version of the Omnipod insulin pump (SmartAdjust 2.0) to the current Omnipod 5 in 132 people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, ages 2 to 70. Participants used each system for about a month to see if the new one is safe and helps keep blood sugar in a healthy range. The goal was to improve glucose control while reducing the number of insulin shots needed at meals.
