Insulet Updates
“With the recent launches of Omnipod 5 in the U.K. and Germany, it’s an exciting time for Podders in Europe,” said Pat Crannell, Insulet Senior Vice President and International General Manager. “We know that people with diabetes around the globe could benefit from Omnipod 5, and we are committed to bringing this life-changing, innovative technology to the majority of our European customers by the end of 2024.”
Building on the successful recent launches, the Company intends to launch Omnipod 5 more broadly across Europe starting in 2024 with the Netherlands planned for the first half of the year. Insulet will continue to provide updates on future European launches expected to occur in France, Italy, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland.
As previously announced in June, the Company is progressing with its goal to provide Omnipod 5 users with sensor of choice. Insulet is now actively enrolling participants in its clinical study to analyze the system’s performance using the Abbott FreeStyle Libre® 2 sensor. The study will recruit up to 200 participants with type 1 diabetes in both the adult and pediatric age groups in the U.K., France, and Belgium, and is intended to demonstrate superior efficacy with Omnipod 5 compared to multiple daily injections, as measured by glycated hemoglobin. This information will support Insulet’s efforts to secure reimbursement.
