Read the detailed description

A Randomized, two arms, open, crossover study in order to evaluate treatment satisfaction of using OmniPod system compared with conventional insulin pump in adults with type 1 diabetes.

The study will include two consecutive 12 weeks treatment periods. According to randomization, each patient will be treated consecutively with both treatment arms: 12 weeks with OmniPod system and than 12 weeks with patient's previous insulin pump or vice versa.

Study will consist of 4 clinic visits taking place at -2,0,12 and 24 weeks and additional 4 telephone visits taking place at 4,8,16 and 20 weeks. In addition, patients will be invited one week prior to visit 5 and visit 8 in order to insert a continuous glucose sensor. Patients will complete DTSQ and Comfort \& Function questionnaires at weeks 0, 12 and 24, before and at the end of each study arm.

On each clinical visits the following parameters will be evaluated: vital signs, HbA1c, 4 and 7 points glucose profile, hypoglycemia events, hyperglycemia events and pump related technical problems.

The telephone visits will include pump related technical problems solving and AE/SAE reporting.
