Episode Description

Automated insulin delivery has been an incredible advancement for insulin pumps. Now, for the first time, the FDA has approved a system for people with type 2. It's called Omnipod 5. We're going to talk about how it works, who it helps, and what the company found in their studies of people who use it.

My guest this week is Dr. Trang Ly, truly one of the pioneers of studying and innovating around automated insulin delivery – or AID – systems. She is the Medical Director at Insulet, the company that makes Omnipod. Prior to joining Insulet, Dr. Ly served as Clinical Assistant Professor in the Division of Pediatric Endocrinology, Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Ly began her career as a Pediatric Endocrinologist in the Department of Endocrinology and Diabetes at Princess Margaret Hospital for Children in Perth, Australia.
