Key Terms

automated insulin delivery medical
A system that links a glucose sensor, an insulin pump, and control software so insulin is adjusted automatically to keep blood sugar near a target range, similar to a smart thermostat that regulates room temperature. It matters to investors because it replaces manual dosing with continuous, data-driven care, which can drive device sales, recurring subscription software services, better health outcomes, and regulatory interest—factors that affect market growth and company valuation.
glycemic medical
Relating to blood sugar levels or the way foods and treatments affect those levels; often used to describe how quickly carbohydrates raise glucose in the bloodstream. Investors pay attention because products, drugs, or labels that change glycemic response can alter consumer demand, medical costs, and regulatory scrutiny—similar to how fuel quality affects engine performance, small shifts in blood-sugar control can reshape markets in food, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare.
hbA1c medical
A1c (HbA1c) is a blood test that measures how much sugar has stuck to red blood cells over the past two to three months, giving a single number that reflects average blood glucose control—think of it as a running average score for blood sugar. Investors watch A1c because it’s a common clinical measure used to judge whether diabetes drugs, devices or care programs work, influence regulatory approvals, treatment guidelines and market demand.
diabetic ketoacidosis medical
Diabetic ketoacidosis is a serious, sudden complication of uncontrolled diabetes where the body, unable to use sugar for energy, breaks down fat and produces acidic chemicals called ketones, causing very high blood sugar, dehydration and a dangerous change in blood chemistry. It matters to investors because DKA drives hospital admissions, affects demand for diabetes medicines, devices and emergency care, and can influence clinical trial results, regulatory decisions and a company’s costs or liability exposure — like a sudden engine failure forcing expensive repairs.
hypoglycemia medical
Hypoglycemia is a condition where blood sugar falls too low to fuel the body and brain, causing symptoms like shakiness, confusion, sweating or fainting. Think of it as a car running low on gas: systems slow or fail until fuel is restored. Investors care because treatments, devices or drugs that cause or prevent hypoglycemia affect patient safety, regulatory approval, product labeling and market acceptance, which influence a company’s commercial prospects.
continuous glucose monitoring medical
Continuous glucose monitoring is a system that tracks blood sugar levels in real-time throughout the day and night. It provides constant updates, similar to a car's dashboard showing speed and fuel level at all times. For investors, advancements in this technology can signal progress in health monitoring devices, which may influence the growth and valuation of companies in the healthcare sector.
510(k) filing regulatory
A 510(k) filing is a submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration showing a new medical device is as safe and effective as a similar device already on the market. For investors, clearance through a 510(k) is like getting a building permit: it allows a company to sell the product in the U.S., reduces regulatory uncertainty, and can unlock revenue and partnerships while shortening time to market compared with a full approval process.

  • STRIVE pivotal trial shows Omnipod 6 achieved strong glycemic outcomes with fewer boluses, across age groups and diabetes types
  • EVOLUTION 3 feasibility study demonstrates improved time in range using a fully closed-loop system for type 2 diabetes that automatically adjusts insulin with no user settings

ACTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Insulet Corporation (NASDAQ: PODD) (Insulet or the Company), the global leader in tubeless insulin pump technology with its Omnipod® brand of products, today announced new clinical results highlighting the next breakthroughs in tubeless Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) systems. The data and growing body of evidence not only confirm the impact of Insulet’s technology today—it also fuels continued investment in breakthrough innovation designed to improve outcomes, reduce daily effort, and expand access to diabetes technology.

Results from the STRIVE pivotal trial and the EVOLUTION 3 feasibility study, presented at the American Diabetes Association (ADA) 86th Scientific Sessions in New Orleans, demonstrate meaningful improvements in glucose control for people with diabetes using Insulet’s future AID system — Omnipod 6 — and unique fully closed-loop (FCL) system for type 2 diabetes.*

“Omnipod 6 represents one of our biggest steps forward yet, with greater personalization and responsiveness to hyperglycemia, by delivering up to 50% more automated insulin, as shown in the STRIVE results,” said Dr. Trang Ly, MBBS, FRACP, PhD, Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer at Insulet. “Our fully closed-loop system for type 2 diabetes is intentionally designed to unlock barriers to AID by managing mealtime insulin and simplifying workflows to expand clinic adoption. Strong results from EVOLUTION 3 bring us one big step closer to making fully closed-loop for type 2 diabetes a reality.”

Together, results from STRIVE and EVOLUTION 3 underscore Insulet’s continued commitment to building a future where managing diabetes is dramatically simpler. This progress aligns with the Company’s innovation philosophy: build technology that doesn’t just do more but demands less.

STRIVE Study Overview

The STRIVE pivotal trial was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the next-generation Omnipod 6 algorithm.

The randomized, crossover study included 132 participants across the U.S., including 98 with type 1 diabetes and 34 with type 2 diabetes. The type 1 cohort spanned a broad age range, including 29 participants aged 2 to <6 years, 36 aged 6 to <14 years, and 33 aged 14–70 years. Baseline glycemia was near recommended targets, with mean HbA1c values of 6.9% and 7.3% for type 1 and type 2 diabetes, respectively.

Participants were randomized to use either the Omnipod 6 algorithm at the 100 mg/dL Target Glucose or the Omnipod 5 System at the 110 mg/dL Target Glucose for four weeks, followed by crossover to the alternate system for an additional four weeks. After the Crossover Phase, all participants entered a four-week or six-week Bolus Optional Phase to evaluate whether glycemic outcomes could be maintained with reduced user interaction, with a study goal of three or fewer boluses per day.

STRIVE Key Data Highlights

Enhanced glycemic performance, even with limited bolusing

The STRIVE study demonstrated clinically meaningful improvements in glycemic outcomes with Omnipod 6 during the Crossover Phase.

  • Improved time in tight range (70–140 mg/dL) with Omnipod 6 vs. Omnipod 5:
    • Type 1 diabetes (≥14 years): 54% vs. 47% (+7 pts)
    • Type 2 diabetes: 48% vs. 43% (+5 pts)
  • Improved time in range (70–180 mg/dL) with Omnipod 6 vs. Omnipod 5:
    • Type 1 diabetes (≥14 years): 77% vs. 73% (+4 pts)
    • Type 2 diabetes: 76% vs. 73% (+3 pts)
  • Maintained safety profile:
    • Time <54 mg/dL and <70 mg/dL were non-inferior
    • No instances of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) or severe hypoglycemia

The STRIVE study demonstrated strong glycemic performance even when users bolused less during the Bolus Optional Phase.

  • Strong time in range and time in tight range with fewer boluses:
    • Type 1 diabetes (≥14 years): 76% time in range and 54% time in tight range with 2.2 fewer boluses/day
    • Type 2 diabetes: 74% time in range and 46% time in tight range with 2.5 boluses per day
  • These findings suggest Omnipod 6 may be especially helpful for people with diabetes who do not always bolus. This will be further tested in the upcoming STRIVE 2 study, which will evaluate Omnipod 6 among people who bolus fewer than four times per day and are not meeting clinical targets for HbA1c.

EVOLUTION 3 Study Overview:

Insulet also shared results from EVOLUTION 3, the pre-pivotal study evaluating the safety and effectiveness of the Company’s breakthrough FCL system for adults with type 2 diabetes.

EVOLUTION 3 enrolled a demographically diverse cohort comprised of 36 participants (adults aged 18–75 years old) with type 2 diabetes using insulin with HbA1c<14%. Participants were intensively managed with basal-bolus therapy and had high baseline utilization of continuous glucose monitoring. Yet they still had high baseline HbA1c of 8.1%.

EVOLUTION 3 Key Data Highlights

Fully Closed-Loop for type 2 diabetes improved time in range and reduced daily insulin with no weight gain

  • Insulet’s FCL for type 2 diabetes delivered 64% time in range, a 12% improvement with low hypoglycemia (0.15%) in a diverse, intensively managed population.
  • Total daily insulin was reduced from 86U to 58U with no weight gain.
  • Participants also reported high satisfaction (86% satisfied or highly satisfied) and reduced burden with FCL.

This data is part of the broader clinical program used to support the development of the FCL AID system designed for people living with type 2 diabetes. The EVOLUTION 2 results were shared earlier this year at the 19th International Conference on Advanced Technologies & Treatments for Diabetes (ATTD), and Insulet recently announced the first enrollment of participants in EVOLVE, the randomized controlled pivotal trial supporting a planned 2027 510(k) filing to the FDA and expected 2028 commercial launch. Building on this experience from FCL for type 2 diabetes, early clinical work is underway to advance the science for FCL for type 1 diabetes as well.

Sharing STRIVE and EVOLUTION 3 at ADA

The studies will be discussed at ADA this weekend, including on Sunday, June 7 from 10:15 – 11:00 AM CT in the Product Theater. Dr. Ly will be joined by Dr. Sufyan Hussain, MA, MB BChir, MRCP, PhD and Dr. Gregory Forlenza, MD, MS, for an Insulet sponsored presentation, The Omnipod Difference: Patient Centered Simplicity and Breakthrough Algorithm Performance.
