    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.

    Tailored recommendations for Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) use during exercise

    Introducing the Exercise Wheel and the Consensus Recommendations for managing Type 1 Diabetes during exercise are the focus of this conversation between host Kate Neal - Clinical Services Manager at Insulet - and Dr. Othmar Moser - a leading expert in exercise physiology and metabolism from the University of Bayreuth and the University of Graz.  There is new guidance developed by European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) and International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes (ISPAD), which provide evidence-based recommendations for managing glucose levels during planned and unplanned physical activities using AID Systems like Omnipod 5 – hear what they are and how they’ll impact your patients on this episode of Within Range. Dr Moser shares strategies for insulin dosing and carbohydrate consumption to maintain optimal glycemic levels during exercise and explains how to empower patients with practical advice using the AID wheel. The wheel is a tool developed by the authors of the consensus guidance, which address patient concerns around the fear of hypoglycemia. It’s a visual way of explaining how planned and unplanned activities are going to impact glucose levels, and by giving detailed recommendations on adjusting insulin dosage, it helps HCPs and patients manage their physical activity more confidently and safely.
