Convenience, compliance & control: How Insulet is changing insulin delivery tech

Shacey Petrovic spent nearly a decade trying to convince her diabetic father to switch to an insulin pump, rather than inject himself multiple times each day. But he was wary of the tubing and other challenges that come with constantly wearing a pump.

So when Petrovic was tapped to serve as chief commercial officer at Insulet (NSDQ:PODD) in February 2015, she was eager to tell her dad about the company’s tubeless insulin delivery system, the Omnipod (Petrovic has since been promoted to president & COO of the Billerica, Mass.-based company).
