Smart insulin pump trial shows promise for type 2 diabetes management
NCT ID NCT06024928
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tested whether using an automated insulin delivery (AID) system for just 10 days can help people with type 2 diabetes safely adjust their long-acting insulin doses. 23 adults who already used insulin injections took part. The goal was to see if the device was safe and easy to use, and if it improved blood sugar control compared to standard care.
