Delivery Mechanism

The Omnipod DASH™ Insulin Management System (Insulet Corp, Billerica, MA) is a discreet, tubeless, wearable insulin pump that holds up to 200 units of U-100 insulin and delivers therapy through customizable basal rates and bolus amounts. This recently FDA-cleared system consists of the insulin pump (“Pod”), which is worn on body and delivers insulin, and the Personal Diabetes Manager (PDM), which is a handheld device used to wirelessly control and monitor the Pod functionality. The PDM can also be paired with the CONTOUR® NEXT ONE blood glucose (BG) meter (Ascensia Diabetes Care, Basel, Switzerland) to wirelessly receive BG readings. This review provides a detailed description of the Pod and PDM. Key features of the Pod are described, including the novel pump delivery mechanism, waterproof (IP28) housing design, and automated cannula insertion. The technology introduced in the new system, such as touchscreen PDM interface, Bluetooth® wireless technology, and wireless internet connectivity, is also presented. Last, Omnipod® Insulin Management System clinical data are reviewed, including early feasibility results for the Omnipod Horizon™ Automated Glucose Control hybrid closed-loop system.

Background : There is no data available on the best insulin treatment to counteract the effects of glucose excursions due to a moderate alcohol intake associated with portions of slight fat and protein-containing food, as often the case during social happenings or “happy hours”. Introduction: This study analyzes the glycemic control and quality of life in 8 adult type 1 diabetic (T1D) patients on insulin-pump therapy which were invited to consume a traditional Italian aperitif (“Spritz” and chips). Introduction : This study analyzes the glycemic control and quality of life in 8 adult type 1 diabetic (T1D) patients on insulin-pump therapy which were invited to consume a traditional Italian aperitif (“Spritz” and chips). Methods: Patients consumed Spritz aperitif twice: using their habitual bolus, based on carbohydrates (CHO) counting (V1), or with a personalized, advanced bolus (V2) calculated from insulin/Kcal derived from Fats and Proteins (FPU). Post-prandial glucose was continuously monitored; glucose incremental areas (iAUC), glucose peak and time to peak, and estimated change from V1 to V2 from repeated- measures models were computed. Each patient fulfilled validated questionnaires on quality of life, knowledge about diabetes and CHO counting. Results : After the educational program, a reduced iAUC (0-80 min: -306, p=ns; 40-80 min: -400, p=0.07) due to greater (p=0.03) and prolonged double-wave insulin boluses was observed. Blood glucose peak and time to peak were also reduced. Moreover, improvements in the psycho-affective dimension, as well as in the alimentary knowledge were detected. Conclusion: Therefore, a personalized educational program on CHO + FPU counting together with insulin bolus management can improve glycemic control during social consumption of alcohol, with positive reflections on the psycho-affective dimension. Further studies are mandatory to confirm such preliminary results.
