Mar 11, 2025
Researchers have found that, counter to common assumptions, older adults do not necessarily struggle with the technology used in automated insulin delivery systems. New research from Washington State University in collaboration with five other institutions suggests that automated insulin delivery systems are safe and effective for use by older adults. The study, published in NEJM Evidence, closes a knowledge gap about who can benefit from the breakthrough technology for diabetes management. Now the preferred treatment option for type 1 diabetes, automated insulin delivery improves glucose control and reduces the burden of managing a lifelong condition for both children and adults.
