ATTD 2026 symposium highlights

From adoption to optimisation: Helping more people realise the full potential of automated insulin delivery (AID)

Explore the key insights from Insulet’s Advanced Technologies & Treatments for Diabetes (ATTD) 2026 symposium, where leading experts discussed the importance of closing the gap between diabetes guidelines and real-world practice, optimising patient outcomes, and preparing for the future of diabetes care.

 

Key themes

Closing the AID adoption gap

Presented by
Dr. Roque Cardona-Hernandez, MD
Paediatric Endocrinologist
Sant Joan de Déu Barcelona Children’s Hospital
Barcelona, Spain

Helping more people benefit from AID by reducing barriers and aligning practice with current guidelines.
 

Optimising patient outcomes from day 1

Presented by
Dr. Grazia Aleppo, MD, FACE, FACP
Endocrinologist and Professor
Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine
Chicago, Illinois, United States

Practical strategies that can improve time in range (TIR), simplify therapy, and support long-term success.

 

"AID should be the first option, not the last."

- Dr. Cardona-Hernandez

Closing the AID adoption gap

"There is technology like the Omnipod® 5 that that has confirmed efficacy and safety, shown impressive improvements of outcomes compared to MDI, and it's simple to use."1,*

- Dr. Roque Cardona-Hernandez, MD
Paediatric Endocrinologist
Sant Joan de Deu Barcelona Children's Hospital
Barcelona, Spain

Discover why AID is now considered the preferred standard of care, why adoption still lags behind the evidence, and how accessible AID technology can help simplify life for more people living with type 1 diabetes.

Optimising patient outcomes from day 1

"Omnipod 5 is the triple threat. It shows excellent time in range, very low timing below range, and excellent haemoglobin A1C."2,†

- Dr. Grazia Aleppo, MD, FACE, FACP
Endocrinologist and Professor
Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine
Chicago, Illinois, United States

Learn practical optimisation strategies—from initial settings to simplified bolusing—that can help improve TIR while reducing burden and ensuring sustained results for people living with type 1 diabetes.
