Beta Bionics Announces Launch of the iLet Bionic Pancreas with Abbott’s FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensor

Now iLet users have a choice of iCGMs to customize their diabetes management.

IRVINE, CA., October 30, 2024: Beta Bionics, Inc., a pioneering leader in the development of advanced diabetes management solutions, announced today they have launched the integration of the iLet Bionic Pancreas with Abbott’s FreeStyle Libre® 3 Plus sensor.

Beta Bionics’ flagship product, the iLet Bionic Pancreas, is an autonomous insulin delivery system that streamlines diabetes management and reduces the burden on patients, caregivers and physicians. The iLet is the first insulin delivery system in the United States to connect to Abbott’s FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensor, whose readings every minute will help the iLet calculate insulin doses. When iLet users “GO BIONIC” with their diabetes management, there is no carb counting* or calculating insulin corrections throughout the day – the iLet determines 100% of the insulin doses and continuously learns and adapts to the user. The only input required to get started on the iLet is the user’s weight.

“Beta Bionics continues to move at lightning speed to bring these enhancements to our userbase,” said Sean Saint, CEO of Beta Bionics. “With our recent launch of the Bionic Circle remote monitoring app, our latest updates to the iLet app, and today’s launch of the iLet integration with Abbott’s FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensor, we are focused on providing major product enhancements to make diabetes management even easier for our users and their families.”

The recent launch of the Beta Bionics’ Bionic Circle App allows users to invite up to 10 friends and family to remotely monitor their CGM values and insulin doses. Bionic Circle members can receive alerts and view an iLet user’s glucose levels, meal announcements, insulin doses and trends throughout the day and night. Whether the iLet user is at school, a friend’s house, work, traveling or home, friends and family can use the Bionic Circle App to see that the iLet is making 100% of the user’s dosing decisions.

This integration offers people a new way to manage their type 1 diabetes. With both Beta Bionics’ and FreeStyle Libre’s ability to sell products through the pharmacy channel, users of the integrated platform can benefit from the ease of obtaining supplies with an innovative pay-as-you-go model. The iLet and FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensor are also available through durable medical equipment providers.

By simply updating the iLet app and software, iLet users will have a choice of iCGMs (FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensor or Dexcom CGMs) when they set up a new sensor.

Beta Bionics Announces Partnership with Abbott to Integrate the iLet Bionic Pancreas with the FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus iCGM

IRVINE, CA., September 4, 2024: Beta Bionics, Inc., a pioneering leader in the development of advanced diabetes management solutions, announced today they are working to integrate Abbott’s glucose sensing technology with the iLet Bionic Pancreas automated insulin delivery system.

Beta Bionics’ flagship product, the iLet Bionic Pancreas, is an autonomous insulin delivery system that streamlines diabetes management and reduces the burden on patients and physicians.

When iLet users “GO BIONIC” with their diabetes management, there is no carb counting* or calculating insulin corrections throughout the day – the iLet determines 100% of the insulin doses. The only input required to get started on the iLet is the user’s weight — the iLet does the rest.

“Beta Bionics developed the iLet Bionic Pancreas to offer the type 1 community a way to manage their diabetes with less burden and more convenience. Part of that convenience is offering choice,” said Sean Saint, CEO of Beta Bionics. “This partnership with Abbott will enable us to offer a choice of iCGMs so users will be able to customize their iLet diabetes management experience with the CGM they know and trust.”

“Abbott is dedicated to creating future-forward health technologies that simplify how people living with diabetes manage their condition and their overall health,” said Jared Watkin, executive vice president of Abbott’s diabetes care business. “By working with various industry partners, we’re giving users more choices in the technology they use to manage their diabetes effectively. Our collaboration with Beta Bionics will offer an automated closed-loop system that is accurate, easy to use, and can help users focus less on diabetes and more on life.”

The iLet Bionic Pancreas will be the first AID integration of FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus available in the United States. The integration will launch in Q4 2024 and will offer people a new way to manage their type 1 diabetes that will fit seamlessly into their lives. An easy software update to the iLet will allow users to have a choice of iCGMs when they set up a new sensor. With both Beta Bionics’ and Abbott’s ability to sell products through the pharmacy, users of the integrated platform will benefit from the ease of obtaining supplies with an innovative pay-as-you-go model. The iLet and FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus will also be available through durable medical equipment distributors.

Beta Bionics Celebrates Milestone: 10,000th iLet Patient

CONCORD, Mass., August 15, 2024: Beta Bionics, a commercial stage medical technology company, proudly announces the 10,000th patient start on the iLet Bionic Pancreas. This significant milestone marks a major step forward in the company’s mission to alleviate the daily burden of diabetes management for patients and healthcare providers alike.

The iLet Bionic Pancreas is the first FDA-cleared autonomous closed-loop insulin delivery device designed to be both easier to prescribe for healthcare professionals and simpler to use for patients. With no carb counting*, no corrections and no settings to adjust, the iLet does the work for the user instead of depending on the user to proactively manage their diabetes, which is required with other hybrid closed-loop insulin pumps. The iLet automates glucose management, thereby reducing the mental and physical stress on patients.

“Reaching 10,000 iLet Bionic Pancreas patients is a testament to our commitment to making diabetes easier, for everyone, every day,” said Sean Saint, CEO of Beta Bionics. “By taking the work off their plate, we are empowering patients to live more freely and with greater peace of mind. The iLet offers an easier and more reliable way to manage diabetes relative to other insulin delivery devices, and we are thrilled to see its impact grow.”

Healthcare providers have also embraced the iLet due to the results they are seeing with their patients. “The iLet Bionic Pancreas has been a great addition to my practice. Now that I have experience in prescribing the iLet, I know that it helps all of my patients – whether they have a high HbA1c or those who are in the 6-7 range,” explained Bruce Bode, MD, FACE of Atlanta Diabetes Associates. “For those patients in the HbA1c higher range, it gets them closer to goal,+ and for those in the lower range, it keeps them at goal with a lot less work, stress and anxiety.”

The iLet’s advanced algorithms streamline the process of getting patients started by only requiring the user’s weight. Without numerous settings to adjust, the iLet allows healthcare providers to focus on patient care without being bogged down by complicated device management.

The Beta Bionics team remains dedicated to simplifying and alleviating the burden of managing diabetes with life-changing solutions and is continuously striving to enhance the quality of life for patients with diabetes. As the company celebrates this remarkable milestone, it looks forward to further advancements and continued growth.

Beta Bionics Announces the Nationwide Launch of the iLet Bionic Pancreas with Dexcom G7 CGM System

Beginning Dec. 18, iLet users will have the option of using a Dexcom G7 CGM System.

CONCORD, Mass., December 7, 2023: Beta Bionics, Inc., a pioneering leader in the development of advanced diabetes management solutions, announced today the nationwide launch of the iLet Bionic Pancreas automated insulin delivery system with the Dexcom G7 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System planned for December 18, 2023. With a firmware update, users will be able to update their iLet to integrate with Dexcom G7 without any additional cost for new hardware.

Beta Bionics’ flagship product, the iLet Bionic Pancreas, is an autonomous insulin delivery system that streamlines diabetes management and reduces the burden on patients and physicians. The only input required to get started is the user’s weight — the iLet does the rest. Healthcare providers no longer need to determine complex settings including correction factors, insulin-to-carb ratios or pre-set basal rates. When iLet users “GO BIONIC” with their diabetes management, there’s no carb counting* or calculating insulin corrections throughout the day – the iLet determines 100% of the insulin doses.

With the Dexcom G7 integration, users can experience the freedom and benefits of the iLet Bionic Pancreas with the fastest and most accurate CGM1,2 available. Dexcom G7 features an all-in-one sensor and transmitter, no fingersticks from day 1 and only a 30-minute warmup time when starting a new sensor. Dexcom CGM also enables you to share your numbers with up to 10 people§ with the Dexcom Follow app, allowing users to stay connected with their loved ones and care teams. This iLet Bionic Pancreas firmware update will allow users to select Dexcom G7 or Dexcom G6 CGMs, or switch back and forth, depending on their supplies.

“Our goal is to give our patients choice with their CGM technology and to be able to update quickly and easily without new hardware or additional costs,” explained Sean Saint, CEO at Beta Bionics. “We truly appreciate our partnership with Dexcom and their speed and adaptability. Once we established our timeline, we were able to rapidly integrate, test and launch with Dexcom G7 in only four months. It’s a clear testament to our teams working in unison with a common goal of providing the latest technology to help users manage their diabetes with less work and less burden.”

“Dexcom G7 was designed with connectivity in mind and this latest integration with Beta Bionics is a testament to that,” said Jake Leach, executive vice president and chief operating officer at Dexcom. “We look forward to offering iLet Bionic Pancreas users even more choice in their diabetes management and the opportunity to experience the industry-leading accuracy and simplicity of Dexcom G7.”

To upgrade, existing iLet Bionic Pancreas users can download or update the iLet app from the Apple App store or Google Play store (available on December 18, 2023). Once they have updated their iLet app, they can easily update the firmware on their iLet Bionic Pancreas. During setup, users will be able to select whether they wear a Dexcom G6 or Dexcom G7 CGM when connecting a sensor and will also experience other features to help streamline the setup process.

Beta Bionics Announces iLet Bionic Pancreas is Now Added to the Express Scripts National Commercial Formularies

CONCORD, Mass., November 14, 2023: Beta Bionics, Inc., a pioneering leader in the development of advanced diabetes management solutions, announced that effective November 10th, Express Scripts has added the iLet Bionic Pancreas and associated monthly supplies to their commercial national formulary offerings. For plans that cover the iLet Bionic Pancreas under their pharmacy benefit and use one of these formularies, this decision makes it faster and easier for eligible users to gain access to the iLet Bionic Pancreas.

Historically, insulin pumps have been covered through the durable medical equipment (DME) insurance benefit where there may be significant up-front hardware costs to initiate therapy. In many instances the patient and payer share in the financial burden, which locks the patient to the insulin pump for the length of the pump’s four-to-five-year warranty. Coverage under a pharmacy benefit can reduce the potentially large up-front cost of the pump for both the patient and the payer, allowing patients to upgrade their insulin pump when new technology becomes available.

Sean Saint, CEO of Beta Bionics, “On World Diabetes Day, we are thrilled to make this announcement.  This is a significant milestone in the growth and rapid commercial launch of the iLet Bionic Pancreas. Now that the iLet has been added to the Express Scripts National Commercial Formularies, members of plans that cover the iLet Bionic Pancreas under the pharmacy benefit and select one of these formularies will have a streamlined process as opposed to the traditional DME channel that is standard in the diabetes industry” explained Saint. “Beta Bionics wants to make it as easy as possible for users to access this transformational device and to open the door for many more people with insulin dependent type 1 diabetes across the US to gain access to the iLet.”

Beta Bionics’ flagship product, the iLet Bionic Pancreas, is an autonomous insulin delivery system that streamlines diabetes management and reduces the burden on patients and physicians. The only input required to get started is the user’s weight — the iLet does the rest. Healthcare providers no longer need to determine complex settings including correction factors, insulin-to-carb ratios or pre-set basal rates.

“We’re excited to support the Beta Bionics team as they work to launch and develop breakthrough technologies that help reduce the burden of diabetes,” said Parker Cassidy, Partner, Sands Capital Ventures.

“Our ability to secure this capital is a testament to iLet’s competitive differentiation and our financial discipline,” said Stephen Feider, CFO of Beta Bionics. “Thank you to the investors for believing in our team and the mission.”

Beta Bionics Announces FDA Clearance for the use of a Prefilled Insulin Cartridge with the iLet Bionic Pancreas

  • Now the iLet Bionic Pancreas is cleared for three insulins
  • More insulin choices for users
  • Prefilled insulin cartridge saves time and provides convenience for users

CONCORD, Mass., June 22, 2023: Beta Bionics, Inc. — a medical technology company focused on diabetes — announces FDA 510(k) clearance for compatibility with the Fiasp® Pumpcart® (insulin aspart) prefilled insulin cartridge. The iLet is the first and only automated insulin-delivery system that does not require carb counting and fully automates 100% of all user insulin doses – and will provide users the choice of three insulins – Novolog®, Humalog® and Fiasp® Pumpcart®.

“Beta Bionics has been working tirelessly to create an insulin delivery system that offers less burden and more convenience for the type 1 community. Since launching last month in May 2023, the iLet Bionic Pancreas is now available and clinics and users are being trained on its simple design and easy management features,” said Sean Saint, President and CEO of Beta Bionics. “When Fiasp® Pumpcart® prefilled cartridges are available, users will save time not having to manually fill cartridges and will have more choice for their diabetes management.”

The iLet was designed to alleviate the work of diabetes management in everyday life and nearly eliminate the expertise that has been required to set up and manage a traditional insulin pump. The only input that is required to get started is the user’s weight. No carb counting*, bolusing, correction factors, insulin-to-carb ratios, or pre-set basal rates – the iLet manages a user’s glucose levels with just a meal announcement and it does the rest of the work. The iLet is paired with a Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System for glucose readings.
