An Unmet Need in Diabetes Care
- While Insulin Pumps Improve Glycemic Control,1-4 2 in 3 People with Type 1 Diabetes Still Manually Inject Insulin…
- Tens of thousands of people suffer annually from the complications of diabetes, such as cardiovascular events, neuropathy, dementia, kidney disease, blindness and lower limb amputation – frequent consequences of poorly managed glycemic control.
- There are 1.9 million individuals with Type 1 Diabetes in the US. 100% of patient population require daily insulin injection. Only 1 out of 3 currently use an insulin pump.
- 32% of population utilizes insulin pumps for diabetes management
- 68% of the population rely on multiple daily injections for diabetes management.
- Almost Pumpers are 30% of the market. They would choose an insulin pump if it were less expensive, took less time to learn and use, and posed a low technological hurdle. This is believed to be a $1.9B market opportunity.
On Oct. 31, Modular Medical provided an update on its ongoing pre-submission testing and timeline for submission of its MODD-1 insulin pump (the “MODD-1”) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). The Company has made substantial progress on completing many of the tests required for submission and now has results back from some of the longest lead time tests, including insulin stability and potency. Modular Medical believes the test results received from multiple third-party laboratory tests are sufficient for submission of the MODD1 to the FDA for clearance, subject to the completion of other ongoing tests and reports. Jeb Besser, CEO of Modular Medical, commented, “The Modular Medical team has continued to make rapid progress towards our 510(k) submission to the FDA, since the completion of our pilot manufacturing line in August. While there is still additional testing to be done, we are starting to gain better visibility on our submission timeline, and we currently expect to make our FDA submission around year end 2023. We remain excited about our opportunity to bring access to better insulin delivery to underserved segments of the market.”
