How the Omnipod DASH® System may help improve glycaemic control1

Meeting recommended targets and day-to-day insulin management is a burden that many people living with T1D know all too well. Consisting of a lightweight*, smartphone-like Personal Diabetes Manager (PDM) and wearable tubeless Pod2, the Omnipod DASH® System has been associated with a reduction in acute complications3, and has been reported to improve Quality of Life, provide a lifestyle benefit and simplify diabetes management1.

The majority of people with T1D do not meet their HbA1c targets4

In a cross-sectional analysis of 7,988 individuals with type 1 diabetes included in a Australian diabetes registry, 82% of the paediatric cohort (< 18 years) and 87% of the adult cohort were not meeting the international glycaemic target of HbA1c <53 mmol/mol (7.0%)4.

Can simplifying your patients' insulin management help them with their diabetes?

In a real world study of 241 Australians living with type 1 diabetes using Omnipod DASH®, users experienced a reduction in HbA1c of 0.5% after three months and 85% reported simplified diabetes management1.

Study description

HbA1c alone does not provide a measure of glycaemic variability or hypoglycaemia5

Even for those people living with T1D who do meet their target HbA1c, their Time in Range (TIR)* may fluctuate below and above glucose range, increasing their risk of complications and reducing their Quality of Life6,7.

* TIR 3.9-10 mmol/L (70-180 mg/dL)

Children, adolescents and adults who switched from MDI to the Omnipod DASH® System experienced a clinically significant improvement in HbA1c of -1.0%8*

Apart from being associated with an improvement in glycaemic control, Omnipod® has also been associated with a reduction in acute complications3 for patients.
