    ATTD 2026 Clinical Data Recap: Exciting New Data with Omnipod 5

    Reviewing key data presented at the 2026 Advanced Technologies & Treatments for Diabetes (ATTD), Within Range unpacks the latest real-world evidence & outcomes of various studies and analyses within the type 1 diabetes (T1D) population. Host Cindy Pickering, Clinical Services Manager at Insulet, is joined by Kellee Miller and Alex Nguyen, two senior leaders from Insulet's Medical Affairs team, to break down what the data means for healthcare providers (HCPs) and their patients. Kellee and Alex walk through a real-world analysis of over 176,000 Omnipod 5 users across the US, UK, Germany and France, revealing which optimised settings are most strongly associated with achieving greater than 70% time in range (TIR) - without increasing hypoglycaemia. Kellee and Alex also share results from the largest real-world analysis study of insulin pump persistence conducted in France and a recent health outcomes economics study explores how Omnipod 5 users are experiencing fewer hypoglycaemia-related emergency room visits compared with other Automated Insulin Delivery Systems (AIDs). --- How can continuous glucose monitoring and tubeless insulin delivery help people living with diabetes? Within Range is a podcast for healthcare professionals (HCPs), helping them stay up to date on the latest diabetes innovations. Within Range is presented by Kate Neal and Cindy Pickering (Clinical Services Managers at Insulet) who sit down with diabetes healthcare professionals from across the world to discuss clinical research, best practices and how Omnipod 5 Automated Insulin Delivery systems (AIDs) can help simplify diabetes management for patients with Type 1 diabetes (T1D).

    Early Adoption of Diabetes Technology & Why Its Important

    Early CGM and AID adoption in type 1 diabetes: what happens when you start from day one instead of waiting? Kate Neal, Clinical Services Manager at Insulet, is joined by Dr Halis Kaan Akturk from the Barbara Davis Centre for Diabetes in the US to unpack how early initiation of CGM and AID is changing and improving outcomes for patients. In his clinic, CGM is introduced at diagnosis, with many patients moving onto AID within the first few months. Drawing on large cohort studies, Dr Akturk explains how starting in the first three months leads to lower A1C, fewer severe hypoglycaemic events, and reduced risk of DKA, with those improvements sustained over time. The conversation also explores recent guideline updates from the American Diabetes Association, which now place a much stronger emphasis on early access to diabetes technology rather than delaying adoption. Alongside the data, this episode gets into the reality of making it work. From first visit CGM starts and remote follow ups, to using simplified bolusing and custom targets, Dr Akturk shares how his team meets patients where they are and removes barriers to getting started. You will also hear how systems like Dexcom G7 and Omnipod® 5 Automated Insulin Delivery System are being used day to day to make diabetes management less burdensome. -   Within Range is presented by Kate Neal and Cindy Pickering (Clinical Services Managers at Insulet) who sit down with diabetes healthcare professionals from across the world to discuss clinical research, best practices and how Omnipod® 5 Automated Insulin Delivery systems (AIDs) can help simplify diabetes management for patients with Type 1 diabetes (T1D). ​If you’re looking to improve your patient’s time in range as well as time in happiness, then this is the podcast for you. ​       Disclaimer​:    Note: The information in this podcast is accurate to the date of recording as of 12/03/2026. Dr Akturk, ​views and opinions expressed in this podcast are his own and do not necessarily reflect those of Insulet. ​   Though the Omnipod 5 System is safe to use at atmospheric pressures typically found in airplane cabins during flight, the atmosphere pressure in an airplane cabin can change during flight, which may affect the Pod's insulin delivery. Rapid changes in altitude and gravity, such as those typically found on flight take-off and landing, can affect insulin delivery, leading to possible hypoglycaemia or injury.

    Is 70% Time in Range really 70% Time in Range? Making Sense of CGM Accuracy and the impact on Automated Insulin Delivery

    Automated insulin delivery (AID) relies on the accuracy of the sensor behind it—so what happens when “70% time in range” doesn’t mean the same thing across different continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems? Recorded at EASD in Vienna, this special episode of Within Range brings together clinical, research and real-world perspectives to unpack how CGM accuracy, comparator methods (capillary vs venous) and standardisation efforts shape the numbers healthcare professionals rely on every day. Registered dietitian and diabetes educator John Pemberton uses a powerful “strict vs lenient marker” analogy to explain why identical time in range figures can mask very different glucose exposure—and why pairing CGM metrics with HbA1c remains critical. Then Insulet’s Medical Affairs team sit down with CGM experts Dr Guido Freckmann and Dr Othmar Moser to discuss new data comparing current-generation sensors (including in exercise settings), the push for unified CGM evaluation standards, implications for hybrid closed loop safety, and what health care professionals should consider when interpreting trials, real-world datasets and choosing AID systems with their patients. Who you’ll hear from on this episode: ·     Kate Neal - Clinical Services Manager at Insulet. ·     Irene Hadjiyianni - Director, Medical Affairs Europe at Insulet. ·     Séverine Labat – Senior Director of Medical Affairs at Insulet. ·     John Pemberton – Registered dietitian and diabetes educator, sharing practical insights from supporting approximately 300 children and young people with type 1 diabetes, and how he translates sensor accuracy data into real-world AID decisions. ·     Dr Guido Freckmann – Medical Director, Institute of Diabetes Technology in Germany, outlining a new challenging study procedure for CGM evaluation, key findings on sensor differences, and the drive towards clear accuracy targets. ·     Dr Othmar Moser – Exercise physiology and metabolism expert, presenting data on CGM performance during physical activity, and what accuracy means for safety and trust in automated insulin delivery.   Disclaimer   Note: The information in this podcast is accurate to the date of recording as of 09/17/2025.

    Challenging Bias: Making Diabetes Tech Accessible for Everyone

    Although guidelines are pointing to Automated Insulin Delivery Systems as standard of care for managing type 1 diabetes, not all people are being offered AID as a therapy option. Why are some people still left behind—and what can healthcare professionals do about it? In this episode of Within Range from EASD 2025 in Vienna, host Kate Neal, Clinical Services Manager at Insulet, speaks with Dr. Alice Cheng and Dr. Hood Thabit about how unconscious bias, clinical inertia, and outdated assumptions continue to shape who gets offered diabetes technology. They discuss what happens when healthcare teams assume patients “can’t handle” diabetes tech, how automation is breaking old barriers, and the practical strategies that make access fairer—from embedding technology conversations into every visit to using group starts and peer support to reach underrepresented communities. Who you’ll hear from on this episode: • Dr. Alice Cheng, endocrinologist at Trillium Health Partners, University of Toronto Associate Professor, and creator of the Med Ed Pledge, sharing how simple clinic routines can dismantle unconscious bias and make technology offers equitable. • Dr. Hood Thabit, consultant diabetologist and Senior Lecturer at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, explaining how outreach, empathy, and inclusive education can bring marginalized groups into automated insulin delivery programs.
