New insulin pump study aims to simplify diabetes management for type 2 patients
NCT ID NCT07070830
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested whether a simplified approach to starting automated insulin delivery works safely in adults with type 2 diabetes. 56 participants used the Omnipod M System with a continuous glucose monitor, starting with either a lower or higher insulin dose. The goal was to see how well the system controlled blood sugar and how safe it was.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Omnipod M Automated Insulin Delivery System with Dexcom G6 continuous glucose monitor
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could make it easier for people with type 2 diabetes to start using an automated insulin pump, potentially improving blood sugar control without complex setup.
- What could go wrong
- This was a small, early feasibility study (56 participants) with no control group. Results may not apply to all people with type 2 diabetes, and the device still requires careful monitoring.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age at time of consent 18-75 years 2. Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, on current insulin regimen for at least 3 months prior to screening (i.e. Basal-bolus, basal only or pre-mix) 3. Basal-bolus (non-AID pump \& MDI), pre-mix, or basal only users suitable for conversion to AID pump therapy for at least 3 months prior to screening. For basal-bolus and premix users, they must have A1c \<14%. For basal only users must have A1c \>7% and \<14%. 4. Willing to use only the following types of U-100 insulin during the study: Humalog U-100, Novolog, Admelog, or their generic equivalents. 5. Participant agrees to provide their own insulin for the duration of the study 6. Stable doses over the preceding 4 weeks of other glucose-lowering medications as determined by Investigator 7. Stable doses of weight loss medications over the preceding 4 weeks, and plans to maintain throughout the study, that may affect glycemic control directly and/or indirectly, except for a dose reduction or discontinuation, as determined by Investigator 8. Willing to wear the system continuously throughout the study 9. Participant agrees to provide their own compatible smartphone for use with the Dexcom G6 CGM 10. Investigator has confidence that the participant has the cognitive ability and can successfully operate all study devices and can adhere to the protocol 11. Able to read and understand English 12. Willing and able to sign the Informed Consent Form (ICF) 13. If female of childbearing potential, willing and able to have pregnancy testing Exclusion Criteria: 1. Use of an AID pump in automated mode up to 90 days prior to screening 2. Any medical condition which in the opinion of the Investigator, would put the participant at an unacceptable safety risk, such as untreated malignancy, unstable cardiac disease, unstable or end-stage renal disease, and/or eating disorders (i.e. anorexia/bulimia) 3. Arrhythmias or other cardiac conditions confirmed by ECG (within past 30 days) which in the opinion of the Investigator, would put the participant at an unacceptable safety risk 4. Current or known history of coronary artery disease that is not stable with medical management, including unstable angina, or angina that prevents moderate exercise despite medical management, or a history of myocardial infarction, percutaneous coronary intervention, or coronary artery bypass grafting within the 12 months prior to screening 5. Any planned surgery during the study which could be considered major in the opinion of the Investigator 6. History of more than 1 severe hypoglycemic event in 6 months prior to screening 7. History of more than 1 episode of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) or hyperosmolar hyperglycemic syndrome (HHS) in the 6 months prior to screening; unrelated to an intercurrent illness; kinked, dislodged, or occluded cannula; or initial diabetes diagnosis 8. Blood disorder or dyscrasia within 3 months prior to screening, which in the Investigator's opinion could interfere with determination of HbA1c 9. Use of hydroxyurea 10. Has taken systemic steroids (oral or injectable) within 4 weeks or has had a local steroid injection (intraarticular, epidural) within 1 week prior to screening or plans to take oral or injectable steroids during the study 11. Unable to tolerate adhesive tape or has any unresolved skin condition that could impact sensor or pump placement 12. Pregnant or lactating, planning to become pregnant during the study, or is a woman of childbearing potential and not on acceptable form of birth control (acceptable includes abstinence, condoms, oral/injectable contraceptives, IUD, or implant); childbearing potential means that menstruation has started, and the participant is not surgically sterile or greater than 12 months post-menopausal) 13. Planned international travel during the study 14. Participation in another clinical study using an investigational drug or device other than the Omnipod in the 30 days prior to screening or intends to participate during the study period 15. Unable to follow clinical protocol for the duration of the study or is otherwise deemed unacceptable to participate in the study per the Investigator's clinical judgment 16. Participant is an employee of Insulet, an Investigator or Investigator's study team, or immediate family member (spouse, biological or legal guardian, child, sibling, parent) of any of the aforementioned
