In this episode of Within Range, host Kate Neal talks with Dr. Bernhard Gehr, Senior Physician at the Diabetes and Metabolic Centre in Bad Heilbrunn, Germany. Dr. Gehr treats some of the most complex diabetes cases in his region and has type 1 diabetes himself giving a unique perspective on the features of Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) Systems that matter most.
Dr. Gehr explains why the simplicity of The Omnipod® 5 Automated Insulin Delivery System makes it a strong fit for patients who resisted technology for years, including those who ruled out tubing or found other systems too demanding. He walks through how he sets glucose targets for patients with hypo fear or retinopathy, how the Custom Food feature helps patients who struggle with carb counting, and why bolus timing may matter more than carb accuracy for time in range.
He closes with the story of a 43-year-old engineer who avoided pump therapy for years before starting Omnipod 5, and saw better glucose results from his first night on the system. Dr. Gehr uses the patient's progress to underscore that quality of life and ease of use matter just as much as the glucose numbers themselves
