Automated Insulin Delivery System and People With Type 2 Diabetes: A Topic With Many Facets.

Optimizing glucose control is of interest also for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). While systems for automated insulin delivery are widely used for patients with type 1 diabetes, as documented by many publications, this is not the case with T2D. Because of the number of such patients, this will change drastically in the next years. Manufacturers can transfer many learnings from type 1 to type 2; however, specific clinical aspects have to be considered. This commentary will discuss these aspects and some of the current activities. Future automated insulin delivery (AID) systems will take data from multisensor systems into account to individualize the AID algorithm, supported by artificial intelligence. There is a high need to document the benefits of AID systems in this patient group.
