Learn about newer and more advanced technologies and how they can optimize outcomes and ease self-care challenges.
Today, nearly 8 million people with diabetes in the United States require insulin to manage their glucose levels. All people with type 1 diabetes, about 1.6 million, require insulin, and the majority use multiple daily injections.1 Roughly 30% to 40% of this population use an insulin pump or pod management system.2
Almost 6 million people with type 2 diabetes require insulin to manage their glucose levels. A small yet growing percentage of these individuals use a technology-enabled insulin delivery device, such as those Today’s Dietitian explores in this article.2
Most people who take insulin continue to use a traditional insulin pen or vial and syringe despite an expanding array of technology-enabled delivery devices. These devices, albeit quite varied in their capabilities, including connectivity and technological sophistication, can ease the burdens and challenges of taking insulin.3 (For more information on this topic, read the article “Insulin Delivery Devices in 2020 and Beyond” in the May 2020 issue of Today’s Dietitian). In addition, evidence shows use of some of these devices improves diabetes outcomes, specifically what’s been coined the management trifecta—lower A1c, less hypoglycemia, and higher Time in Range.4,5 (See “From A1c to Time in Range: New Glycemic Management Metrics,” in our November 2022 E-Newsletter.)
Low Usage of the Technology
There are many reasons for low usage of technology-enabled insulin delivery devices, several of which rest with the people with diabetes. They have a lack of awareness and knowledge of the devices, insufficient insurance coverage, an attitude of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” an unwillingness to allocate the time and energy involved to master a new device, or are reluctant to wear a device, such as an insulin pump.
Other reasons rest with clinicians, such as the time and energy needed to learn about new devices, the ability to work through coverage hurdles, allotting time to introduce people to devices, as well as onboarding and optimizing the device.
“It’s important for RDs to be knowledgeable about these newer insulin delivery devices to advise people about their options and help them choose and use the right technology for their needs at the time,” says Laura Russell, MA, RDN, LD, CDCES, program coordinator at the Endocrinology Clinic of Minneapolis and chair-elect of the Diabetes Dietetic Practice Group of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. “Possessing the ability to confidently discuss these devices with clients helps enhance our practice,” Russell says.
Think ICC Framework
To assist clients in choosing and optimizing technology-enabled devices, the Association of Diabetes Care and Education Specialists, along with content experts, created the ICC Framework.6 The Identify, Configure and Collaborate Framework (see illustration below) is a model health care providers can use to raise clients’ awareness about available insulin delivery devices. Here’s an explanation of the framework:
• Identify focuses on helping clients choose the right device to meet their current needs. Think about the most significant barriers clients face at the time they take insulin according to their diabetes care plan. As they go through various ages and stages with diabetes, a different device may suit them better. In addition, insulin delivery devices will continue to evolve.
• Configure focuses on helping people set up their device based on their lifestyle, personal preferences, and diabetes care goals and plan. Configure also integrates ongoing support.
• Collaborate refers to the collaborative partnership between the person with diabetes and his or her clinician to obtain and analyze device and management data to improve and advance care.
“I use the ICC Framework to introduce clients to a new technology and let them know what it does and doesn’t do compared with how they currently deliver insulin,” says Natalie J. Bellini, DNP, FNP-BC, BC-ADM, CDCES, an endocrine nurse practitioner at R&B Medical Group in Williamsville, New York. “Then we configure the device based on collaboration and may, for example, initiate a device with higher target glucose levels if the person expresses a fear of hypoglycemia,” Bellini says.
An essential message about integrating a new insulin delivery device into a person’s care plan is succinctly stated by the American Diabetes Association: “No device used in diabetes management works optimally without education, training, and follow up.”4
Connectivity Equals Communication
The entrance and availability of continuous glucose monitors (CGM) and monitoring nearly two decades ago have been revolutionary in advancing diabetes care.7 “It used to be that we would detect high or low glucose data points and had to guess the causes and solutions. Now we, along with our clients, can establish cause-and-effect relationships with a high degree of certainty,” says Gary Scheiner, MS, CDCES, owner of Integrated Diabetes Services, author of Think Like a Pancreas, and a person with diabetes for 37 years who’s worn a wide variety of diabetes management technology.
Connectivity overcomes numerous hurdles. It allows for the transfer of complete and accurate diabetes-related data (eg, glucose, insulin doses, food intake, and related timing) in understandable and usable formats for people with diabetes and their clinicians. These reports, which users typically can email, fax, or upload to their clinicians, can be analyzed to more easily assess and evolve the person’s diabetes management. Clinicians can use these reports in person or via telehealth.
Connectivity also allows communication and integration between a CGM and some insulin delivery devices. This capability has led to several automated insulin delivery (AID) systems.8

Glimpse of the Future
“Many brilliant people, manufacturers, and related entities are pushing full steam ahead to close the insulin delivery loop to reduce the burdens of managing insulin-requiring diabetes,” Bellini says. Beyond devices, there’s work on faster-acting insulins that will more quickly blunt the rise of postprandial glucose levels. Conversely, there’s work on once-weekly basal insulin, likely for greater use in type 2 diabetes. In addition, myriad efforts are being researched and/or integrated into devices to reduce the burdens of carbohydrate counting and prebolus dosing in sync with food intake. Along this line, a general trend is to make insulin delivery devices smarter by integrating artificial intelligence, machine learning, predictive analytics, and/or personalized precision insulin dosing.
These are, indeed, exciting times in insulin delivery technology.

Terms & Language Defined
Hybrid closed loop (HCL): A system is considered “hybrid” because it doesn’t fully close the communication loop as it delivers insulin. Users still must consider food intake, choose bolus insulin doses, and deliver the doses.
Advanced hybrid closed loop (AHCL): AHCL systems have similar capabilities as HCL systems. Some entities use this term to define their automated insulin delivery (AID) system.
AID: The FDA has used this term to describe HCL and AHCL systems that aren’t fully closed loop.
Currently, there’s no insulin pump management system that fully closes the insulin delivery loop. However, systems are inching closer. A fully closed loop system wouldn’t require user input of information to increase or decrease insulin delivery. Insulin delivery would be fully responsive to real-time glucose data and keep glucose levels within the person’s set goals 24/7.
The following interrelated elements are integral to how HCL, AHCL, and AID systems work.
Interoperable automated glycemic controller (iAGC): This device automatically adjusts insulin delivery by connecting to an alternate controller-enabled (ACE) pump.
ACE pump: This automatically can adjust insulin delivery through the use of an iAGC.
Integrated continuous glucose monitor (iCGM): This is a type of continuous glucose monitor that’s integrated with other compatible devices and electronic interfaces, such as an AID dosing system.

Do-It-Yourself Automated Insulin Delivery Systems Today
The do-it-yourself (DIY) automated insulin delivery community is growing strong globally and is estimated to be greater than 25,000 users.1-3 Interestingly, even with today’s connected insulin pump/pod management systems, some people still choose to use a non–FDA-reviewed DIY automated insulin delivery system. “The DIY systems allow significantly more customization and fine-tuning than the commercially available systems, which must put many restrictions/guardrails [in place] in order to receive FDA clearance,” says Gary Scheiner, MS, CDCES, owner of Integrated Diabetes Services, author of Think Like a Pancreas, and a person with diabetes for 37 years. “And from what I have seen (and experienced personally), for people who have good self-management skills and like to remain actively engaged in their day-to-day care, the DIY systems tend to produce superior glycemic management.”
