Insulet, Abbott, and Dexcom Present Type 2 Diabetes Technology Advances at ATTD 2026

Insulet presented feasibility study results for its Omnipod fully closed-loop automated insulin delivery system for Type 2 diabetes, showing a 24% increase in time-in-range to 68% average daily proportion compared to standard injections

Abbott announced FreeStyle Libre platform trial results from over 300 U.K. participants, demonstrating a 0.6 percentage point drop in HbA1c after four months and an additional 2.5 hours per day in healthy glucose range

Dexcom highlighted registry data showing its G7 continuous glucose monitor lowered A1c by 0.7% over one year in Type 2 diabetes patients not taking insulin, with greater reductions in those with higher baseline A1c

All three companies presented data at the 19th International Conference on Advanced Technologies and Treatments for Diabetes (ATTD) in Barcelona, focusing on expanding technology adoption among the larger Type 2 diabetes market

Insulet plans to launch a pivotal clinical trial (EVOLVE) later in 2026, with goals of FDA application in 2027 and commercial launch in 2028

The data demonstrates that continuous glucose monitoring and automated insulin delivery systems can increase time in healthy blood sugar range, lower A1c levels, and support weight management in Type 2 diabetes patients
