RESUMO
The increasing incidence of type 2 diabetes, which represents 90% of diabetes cases globally, is a major public health concern. Improved glucose management reduces the risk of vascular complications and mortality; however, only a small proportion of the type 2 diabetes population have blood glucose levels within the recommended treatment targets. In recent years, diabetes technologies have revolutionised the care of people with type 1 diabetes, and it is becoming increasingly evident that people with type 2 diabetes can also benefit from these advances. In this review, we describe the current knowledge regarding the role of technologies for people living with type 2 diabetes and the evidence supporting their use in clinical practice. We conclude that continuous glucose monitoring systems deliver glycaemic benefits for individuals with type 2 diabetes, whether treated with insulin or non-insulin therapy; further data are required to evaluate the role of these systems in those with prediabetes (defined as impaired glucose tolerance and/or impaired fasting glucose and/or HbA1c levels between 39 mmol/mol [5.7%] and 47 mmol/mol [6.4%]). The use of insulin pumps seems to be safe and effective in people with type 2 diabetes, especially in those with an HbA1c significantly above target. Initial results from studies exploring the impact of closed-loop systems in type 2 diabetes are promising. We discuss directions for future research to fully understand the potential benefits of integrating evidence-based technology into care for people living with type 2 diabetes and prediabetes.
RESUMO
In recent years, diabetes technologies have revolutionized the care of people with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Emerging evidence suggests that people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) can experience similar benefits from these advances in technology. While glycaemic outcomes are often a primary focus, the lived experience of the person with diabetes is equally important. In this review, we describe the impact of diabetes technologies on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). We highlight that most of the published studies investigated PROMs as secondary outcomes. Continuous glucose monitoring systems may have an important role in improving PROMs in individuals with T1D, which may be driven by the prevention or proactive management of hypoglycaemia. In people with T2D, continuous glucose monitoring may also have an important role in improving PROMs, particularly in those treated with insulin therapy. The impact of insulin pumps on PROMs seems positive in T1D, while there is limited evidence in T2D. Studies of hybrid closed-loop therapies suggest increased treatment satisfaction, improved quality of life and decreased diabetes-related distress in T1D, but it is unclear whether these benefits are because of a 'class-effect' or individual systems. We conclude that PROMs deserve a more central role in trials and clinical practice, and we discuss directions for future research.
RESUMO
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion by insulin pump is often superior in improving glycaemic control compared with conventional multiple daily insulin injection (MDI). However, whether pump treatment leads to improved pregnancy outcomes in terms of congenital malformations and perinatal death remains unknown. The present aim was to evaluate the risk of malformations and perinatal and neonatal death in pregnant women with type 1 diabetes treated with pump or MDI. METHODS: We performed a secondary analysis of a prospective multinational cohort of 2088 pregnant women with type 1 diabetes in a real-world setting who were treated by pump (n=750) or MDI (n=1338). ORs for offspring with congenital malformations or perinatal or neonatal death were calculated using crude data and by logistic regression on propensity score-matched data. RESULTS: At enrolment (gestational week 8; 95% CI 4, 14), pump users had a higher educational level (university degree: 37.3% vs 25.1%; p<0.001) and better glycaemic control (mean HbA1c: 51±10 mmol/mol [6.8±0.9%] vs 54±14 mmol/mol [7.1±1.3%], p<0.001) compared with MDI users. Moreover, a greater proportion of pump users had an HbA1c level below 75 mmol/mol (9%) (97.6% vs 91.9%, p<0.001), and more often reported taking folic acid supplementation (86.3% vs 74.8%; p<0.001) compared with MDI users. All clinically important potential confounders were balanced after propensity score matching, and HbA1c remained lower in pump users. The proportion of fetuses with at least one malformation was 13.5% in pump users vs 11.2% in MDI users (crude OR 1.23; 95% CI 0.94, 1.61; p=0.13; propensity score-matched (adjusted) OR 1.11; 95% CI 0.81, 1.52; p=0.52). The proportion of fetuses with at least one major malformation was 2.8% in pump users vs 3.1% in MDI users (crude OR 0.89; 95% CI 0.52, 1.51; p=0.66; adjusted OR 0.78; 95% CI 0.42, 1.45; p=0.43), and the proportions of fetuses carrying one or more minor malformations (but no major malformations) were 10.7% vs 8.1% (crude OR 1.36; 95% CI 1.00, 1.84; p=0.05; adjusted OR 1.23; 95% CI 0.87, 1.75; p=0.25). The proportions of perinatal and neonatal death were 1.6% vs 1.3% (crude OR 1.23; 95% CI 0.57, 2.67; p=0.59; adjusted OR 2.02; 95% CI 0.69, 5.93; p=0.20) and 0.3% vs 0.3% (n=2 vs n=4, p=not applicable), respectively. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATIONS: Insulin pump treatment was not associated with a lower risk of congenital malformations, despite better glycaemic control in early pregnancy compared with MDI. Further studies exploring the efficacy and safety of pump treatment during pregnancy are needed.

A technological solution for the management of diabetes in people who require intensive insulin therapy has been sought for decades. The last 10 years have seen substantial growth in devices that can be integrated into clinical care. Driven by the availability of reliable systems for continuous glucose monitoring, we have entered an era in which insulin delivery through insulin pumps can be modulated based on sensor glucose data. Over the past few years, regulatory approval of the first automated insulin delivery (AID) systems has been granted, and these systems have been adopted into clinical care. Additionally, a community of people living with type 1 diabetes has created its own systems using a do-it-yourself approach by using products commercialised for independent use. With several AID systems in development, some of which are anticipated to be granted regulatory approval in the near future, the joint Diabetes Technology Working Group of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes and the American Diabetes Association has created this consensus report. We provide a review of the current landscape of AID systems, with a particular focus on their safety. We conclude with a series of recommended targeted actions. This is the fourth in a series of reports issued by this working group. The working group was jointly commissioned by the executives of both organisations to write the first statement on insulin pumps, which was published in 2015. The original authoring group was comprised by three nominated members of the American Diabetes Association and three nominated members of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes. Additional authors have been added to the group to increase diversity and range of expertise. Each organisation has provided a similar internal review process for each manuscript prior to submission for editorial review by the two journals. Harmonisation of editorial and substantial modifications has occurred at both levels. The members of the group have selected the subject of each statement and submitted the selection to both organisations for confirmation.

BACKGROUND: Intrapartum glucose management is critical to reducing neonatal hypoglycemia shortly after birth. Although it is known that insulin is required for all pregnant individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus, the optimal mode of intrapartum glycemic control is not known. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare the effect of intrapartum use of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion with that of intravenous insulin infusion for glucose management among pregnant individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus on neonatal blood glucose levels. STUDY DESIGN: This was a randomized controlled trial of pregnant participants with type 1 diabetes mellitus. After written informed consent, participants were randomly allocated to 1 of 2 intrapartum insulin administration strategies: continuation of their continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion or intravenous insulin infusion. The primary outcome was the first neonatal blood glucose level. RESULTS: Between March 2021 and April 2023, 76 participants were approached, and 70 participants were randomized (35 participants in the intravenous insulin infusion group and 35 participants in the continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion group). The groups were similar in terms of age, race/ethnicity, pregravid body mass index, nulliparity, and gestational age at delivery. There was no statistically significant difference in the first neonatal glucose measurement between the 2 groups (50.1±23.4 vs 49.2±22.6; P=.86). In addition, there were no statistically significant differences in any secondary neonatal outcomes. Approximately 57.1% of neonates in the continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion group required either oral, intravenous, or both treatments for hypoglycemia, whereas 51.4% of neonates in the intravenous infusion group required treatment. In both groups, 28.6% of neonates required intravenous treatment for hypoglycemia. CONCLUSION: Pregnant individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus using either intravenous insulin infusion or continuation of their continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion for intrapartum insulin administration had no difference in the primary outcome of neonatal hypoglycemia. Patients should be given the option of both glycemic management strategies intrapartum.

Objective. Adjuvant therapy with sodium-glucose cotransport 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) in type 1 diabetes (T1D) is associated with an improvement in glycemic control, but increases the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). However, real-life studies in individuals with T1D under continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) are still scarce. We present the first real-life study performed in patients with T1D exclusively treated with CSII. The aim of the present study was to assess the metabolic impact and safety of SGLT2i in T1D individuals under CSII. Methods. Retrospective study includes 34 T1D adult individuals under CSII, who started SGLT2i until 30th June 2021. Data regarding the glycemic control and acute diabetes complications at the moment of introduction of SGLT2i and after 3, 6, and 12 months of use were collected. Results. Twenty-three individuals were included. Comparing with the moment of SGLT2i introduction after 3, 6, and 12 months of use, there was a statistically significant increase of time in range (TIR) (∆T3M=12.8%; ∆T6M=11.5%; ∆T12M=11.1%), and a decrease in time above range (∆T3M=13.6%; ∆T6M=11.9%; ∆T12M=10.5%). There were no significant differences in time below the range. Mean glucose and mean glucose management indicator significantly reduced in the 3 evaluated moments. A significant reduction in median weight was also observed (∆T6M=2 kg; ∆T12M=4.5 kg). Two patients (8.7%) developed mild euglycemic DKA during SGLT2i treatment, both were women and had body mass index (BMI) <27 kg/m2. One of them had a total daily insulin dose (TDDI) reduction of 26.9% after 3 months of use. Conclusions. The use of SGLT2i, as an adjuvant treatment in T1D individuals under CSII, was associated with a significant increase of TIR without increasing time in hypoglycemia. It also had a weight benefit. Careful use in selected participants is necessary to reduce the occurrence of DKA.

PURPOSE: The aim of this review is to evaluate the effects of new technology used in the management of diabetes mellitus (DM), including the use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and the administration of insulin through continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII), on male and female sexual function. METHODS: This narrative review was performed for all available prospective, retrospective and review articles, published up to June 2023 in PubMed. Data were extracted from the text and from the tables of the manuscript. RESULTS: Sexual dysfunctions are an underestimated comorbidity of DM in both male and female. Although erectile dysfunction (ED) is recognized by the guidelines as a complication of DM, female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is poorly investigated in clinical setting. In addition to the complications of DM, the different types of therapies can also influence male and female sexual response. Furthermore, insulin therapy can be administered through multiple-daily injections (MDI) or a CSII. The new technologies in the field of DM allow better glycemic control which results in a reduction in the occurrence or aggravation of complications of DM. Despite this evidence, few data are available on the impact of new technologies on sexual dysfunctions. CONCLUSIONS: The use of DM technology might affect sexual function due to the risk of a worse body image, as well as discomfort related to CSII disconnection during sexual activity. However, the use is related to an improved metabolic control, which, in the long-term associates to a reduction in all diabetes complications, including sexual function.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Limited studies have compared outcomes between emerging adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) attending a diabetes transition support programme using multiple daily injections (MDI) or continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII). AIMS: To assess glycaemic control and service utilisation in emerging adults with T1D on MDI or CSII attending a young adult diabetes clinic (YAC). METHODS: A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted from January 2013 to December 2015. Data collected included clinic visits per year, after-hours mobile telephone use, diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) admissions and all HbA1c levels. Independent t-test was used to compare continuous variables whilst Pearson's Chi-squared test was used for categorical variables. Linear mixed effects models explored mean changes in HbA1c levels over time. RESULTS: Over 3 years, 318 youth with T1D (176 MDI, 121 CSII, 21 switched from MDI to CSII) attended our YAC. Aggregated mean HbA1c levels remained similar between modalities (CSII 9.1% vs MDI 9.3%; P = 0.23); however, mean change in HbA1c at 3 years was significantly increased in CSII users at 0.55% (95% CI 0.15-0.95; P < 0.01) compared with no significant change in MDI users. Clinic visits per year were improved in CSII users (CSII 2.8 vs MDI 2.5; P = 0.02), while DKA admissions remained similar between MDI and CSII users (3.6 admissions per 100 patient-years). CONCLUSION: In our YAC cohort, glycaemic control in CSII and MDI users was similar but well below recommended international glycaemic targets (HbA1c level < 7.0%). Despite increased clinical engagement occurring in CSII users, glycaemic deterioration was observed over the 3 years.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) has a growing prevalence worldwide, even in developing countries. Many antidiabetic agents are used to improve glycemic control; however, in cases of an insufficient outcome, insulin is administered. Yet, the timing of proper insulin administration is still a subject of intense research. To date, there have been no recommendations or guidelines for the use of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). In the present study, we have performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the use of CSII in patients with T2DM. An extensive literature search was conducted through the electronic databases Pubmed, Clinicaltrials.gov, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) from October 2019-May 2022, for interventional studies related to T2DMI and CSII versus multiple daily injections (MDI). We included articles published in the English language only, yielding a total of thirteen studies. We found better outcomes in patients receiving CSII, in regard to glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and total insulin dose. In contrast, fasting plasma glucose and body weight did not show statistically significant differences between the two groups. Our analyses showed that CSII could be beneficial in patients with T2DM in order to achieve their glucose targets.

AIMS: The use of do-it-yourself artificial pancreas systems (DIYAPS) among people with type 1 diabetes is increasing. At present, it is unclear how DIYAPS compares with other technologies such as FreeStyle Libre (FSL) and continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII). The aim of this analysis is to compare safety, effectiveness and quality-of-life outcomes of DIYAPS use with the addition of FSL to CSII. METHOD: Data from two large UK hospitals were extracted from the Association of British Clinical Diabetologists (ABCD) DIYAPS and FSL audits. Outcomes included HbA1c , glucose TBR (time-below-range), TIR (time-in-range), Diabetes Distress Score (DDS), and Gold hypoglycaemia score. Any adverse events were noted. Changes at follow-up were assessed using paired t-tests and ANOVA in Stata; TIR/TBR at follow-up assessed using unpaired t-tests; chi-square tests assessed the change in frequency of health utilisation (e.g. hospital admissions). RESULTS: DIYAPS (n = 35) and FSL+CSII (n = 149) users, with median follow-up duration of 1.4 (IQR 0.8-2.1) and 1.3 (IQR 0.7-1.8) years, respectively, were included. HbA1c with DIYAPS use changed by -10 mmol/mol [0.9%] (p < 0.001, 95% CI 5, 14 [0.5, 1.3%]) significantly lower (p < 0.001) than in the FSL+CSII group -3 mmol/mol [0.25%] (p < 0.001, 95% CI 1, 4 [0.1, 0.4%]). TIR was higher and TBR was lower in the DIYAPS group. Adverse events were rare in both groups and no significant differences were observed in the frequency of healthcare utilisation. CONCLUSION: DIYAPS use was associated with a lower HbA1c levels, higher TIR and lower TBR compared with FSL+CSII. There was no significant increase in adverse events, although this should be interpreted cautiously given the low numbers of users. Full results from the ABCD DIYAPS audit are awaited.

BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to evaluate the glycemic outcomes in children and adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) previously treated with Multiple Daily Injections (MDI) using a structured initiation protocol for the Advanced Hybrid Closed Loop (AHCL) Minimed 780G insulin pump system. METHODS: In this prospective open label single-arm, single-center, clinical investigation, we recruited children and adolescents (aged 7-17 years) with T1D on MDI therapy and HbA1c below 12.5%. All participants followed a 10-day structured initiation protocol which included 4 steps: step 1: AHCL system assessment; step 2: AHCL system training; step 3: Sensor augmented pump therapy (SAP) for 3 days; step 4: AHCL system use for 12 weeks, successfully completing the training from MDI to AHCL in 10 days. The primary outcome of the study was the change in the time spent in the target in range (TIR) of 70-180 mg/dl and HbA1c from baseline (MDI + CGM, 1 week) to study phase (AHCL, 12 weeks). The paired student t-test was used for statistical analysis and a value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS: Thirty-four participants were recruited and all completed the 12 weeks study. TIR increased from 42.1 ± 18.7% at baseline to 78.8 ± 6.1% in the study phase (p < 0.001). HbA1c decreased from 8.6 ± 1.7% (70 ± 18.6 mmol/mol) at baseline, to 6.5 ± 0.7% (48 ± 7.7 mmol/mol) at the end of the study (p = 0.001). No episodes of severe hypoglycemia or DKA were reported. CONCLUSION: Children and adolescents with T1D on MDI therapy who initiated the AHCL system following a 10-days structured protocol achieved the internationally recommended goals of glycemic control with TIR > 70% and a HbA1c of < 7%.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The new advanced hybrid closed loop insulin infusion systems have the potential to significantly improve glycaemic control. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Minimed 780G system in 59 patients with type 1 diabetes. METHODS AND RESULTS: Glucose control obtained by using the system in automatic mode at 1-2 months of activation, at 2-4 months, at 4-6 months, and beyond 6 month was compared with those obtained with the system in manual mode. A significant improvement in time-in-range and in time-above-range throughout the follow-up was observed, as well as a significant reduction in time-below-range (<54 mg/dl) after 6 months, a significant reduction of the glucose variability and of HbA1c. After switching the mode, all target percentages lied on the average within the recommended ranges by literature consensus and no severe hypoglycemia nor ketoacidosis episodes were recorded. CONCLUSION: The Minimed 780G allowed a rapid and progressive improvement of the overall glucose control.

BACKGROUND: Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D) can improve the structure and strength of femur of rats, but the effect of CSII treatment on the lumbar spine of T2D rats is unknown. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of CSII on the microstructure, multi-scale mechanical properties and bone mineral composition of the lumbar spine in T2D rats. METHODS: Seventy 6-week-old male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were divided into two batches, each including Control, T2D, CSII and Placebo groups, and the duration of insulin treatment was 4-week and 8-week, respectively. At the end of the experiment, the rats were sacrificed to take their lumbar spine. Microstructure, bone mineral composition and nanoscopic-mesoscopic-apparentand-macroscopic mechanical properties were evaluated through micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), Raman spectroscopy, nanoindentation test, nonlinear finite element analysis and compression test. RESULTS: It was found that 4 weeks later, T2D significantly decreased trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), nanoscopic-apparent and partial mesoscopic mechanical parameters of lumbar spine (P < 0.05), and significantly increased bone mineral composition parameters of cortical bone (P < 0.05). It was shown that CSII significantly improved nanoscopic-apparent mechanical parameters (P < 0.05). In addition, 8 weeks later, T2D significantly decreased bone mineral density (BMD), bone volume fraction (BV/TV) and macroscopic mechanical parameters (P < 0.05), and significantly increased bone mineral composition parameters of cancellous bone (P < 0.05). CSII treatment significantly improved partial mesoscopic-macroscopic mechanical parameters and some cortical bone mineral composition parameters (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: CSII treatment can significantly improve the nanoscopic-mesoscopic-apparent-macroscopic mechanical properties of the lumbar spine in T2D rats, as well as the bone structure and bone mineral composition of the lumbar vertebrae, but it will take longer treatment time to restore the normal level. In addition, T2D and CSII treatment affected bone mineral composition of cortical bone earlier than cancellous bone of lumbar spine in rat. Our study can provide evidence for clinical prevention and treatment of T2D-related bone diseases.

Objective: we aimed to highlight the state of the art in terms of pediatric population adherence to insulin pumps. This study intends to underline the significance of identifying and minimizing, to the greatest extent feasible, the factors that adversely affect the juvenile population's adherence to insulin pump therapy. Materials and methods: articles from PubMed, Embase, and Science Direct databases were evaluated using the following search terms: adherence, pump insulin therapy, children, pediatric population, and type 1 diabetes, in combination with several synonyms such as compliance, treatment adherence, pump adherence, patient dropouts, and treatment refusal. Results: A better glycemic control is connected to a better adherence to diabetes management. We identify, enumerate, and discuss a number of variables which make it difficult to follow an insulin pump therapy regimen. Several key factors might improve adherence to insulin pump therapy: efficient communication between care provider and patients (including home-based video-visits), continuous diabetes education, family support and parental involvement, as well as informational, practical assistance, and emotional support from the society. Conclusions: every cause and obstacle that prevents young patients from adhering to insulin pumps optimally is an opportunity for intervention to improve glycemic control and, as a result, their quality of life.

AIMS: Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) has been publicly funded in New Zealand for people living with type 1 diabetes since 2012. The aim of the current study was to investigate the loss of access, once obtained, to public-funded CSII. The frequency and socio-demographics of access, and loss, to CSII spanning the period 2012 to 2018 were examined. METHODS: Nationally held data collections including the New Zealand Virtual Diabetes Register were used to calculate the overall and subgroup proportions using and ceasing CSII. A logistic regression model was used to estimate odds ratios for pump use for the predictor variables (sex, age group, ethnicity and deprivation index) and to calculate odds ratios for pump cessation for the same demographic factors. RESULTS: Once CSII access is obtained, approximately 4% per year cease CSII in a subsequent year. This cessation of publicly funded CSII was not distributed equally among the population, showing over-representation in youth (aged 10-29 years) and non-Europeans, in particular Maori and Pasifika. Compounding this, it remains less likely for people with diabetes to initially access publicly funded CSII in New Zealand if they are non-European and more socio-economically deprived. CONCLUSIONS: In New Zealand, Maori and Pasifika, as well as youth, are over-represented in the cessation of CSII in comparison with Europeans and all other age groups. These groups are also less likely to gain initial access to public funding. Efforts to understand and reduce these disparities are needed, including review of current public funding access criteria.

AIMS: In this systematic review, we aimed (1) to identify and describe research investigating the use of advanced diabetes technologies (continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion, CSII; continuous glucose monitoring, CGM; automated insulin delivery, AID) in people with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) and disordered eating and (2) to discuss potential (dis)advantages of diabetes technology use in this population, derived from previous research. METHODS: We conducted a systematic literature search in two electronic databases for English articles published between 2000 and 2020 addressing eating disorders and/or dysfunctional eating behaviours and diabetes technology use in children, adolescents and adults with T1DM (PROSPERO ID CRD42020160244). RESULTS: Of 70 publications initially identified, 17 were included. Overall, evidence on the use of diabetes technologies in people with T1DM and disordered eating is scarce. The majority of the studies reports findings on CSII in people with T1DM and dysfunctional eating behaviours or eating disorders. Findings predominantly stem from observational data and are, in most cases, secondary findings of the respective studies. Providing the greatest flexibility in diabetes management, CSII may have benefits in disordered eating. CGM data may complement the diagnostic process of disordered eating with a physiological indicator of insulin restriction (i.e. time spent in hyperglycaemia). CONCLUSIONS: Results on possible (dis)advantages of diabetes technology use in people with T1DM and disordered eating are based on observational data, small pilot trials and anecdotical evidence from case reports. Prospective data from larger samples are needed to reliably determine potential effects of diabetes technology on disordered eating in T1DM.

AIM: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ultra rapid lispro (URLi) versus lispro (Humalog® ) in people with type 1 diabetes on continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII). MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a phase 3, 16-week, treat-to-target study in patients randomized to double-blind URLi (N = 215) or lispro (N = 217). The primary endpoint was change from baseline HbA1c (non-inferiority margin 4.4 mmol/mol [0.4%]), with multiplicity-adjusted objectives for postprandial glucose (PPG) levels during a meal test, and time spent in the target range 70-180 mg/dL (TIR). RESULTS: URLi was non-inferior to lispro for change in HbA1c, with a least-squares mean (LSM) difference of 0.3 mmol/mol (95% confidence interval [CI] -0.6, 1.2) or 0.02% (95% CI -0.06, 0.11). URLi was superior to lispro in controlling 1- and 2-h PPG levels after the meal test: LSM difference -1.34 mmol/L (95% CI -2.00, -0.68) or -24.1 mg/dL (95% CI -36.0, -12.2) at 1 h and -1.54 mmol/L (95% CI -2.37, -0.72) or -27.8 mg/dL (95% CI -42.6, -13.0) at 2 h; both p < .001. TIR and time in hyperglycaemia were similar between groups but URLi resulted in significantly less time in hypoglycaemia (<3.0 mmol/L [54 mg/dL]) over the daytime, night-time and 24-h period: LSM difference -0.41%, -0.97% and -0.52%, respectively, all p < .05. The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events was higher with URLi (60.5% vs. 44.7%), driven by infusion-site reaction and infusion-site pain, which was mostly mild or moderate. Rates of severe hypoglycaemia and diabetic ketoacidosis were similar between groups. CONCLUSIONS: URLi was efficacious, providing superior PPG control and less time in hypoglycaemia but with more frequent infusion-site reactions compared with lispro when administered by CSII.

AIMS: Most people living with type 1 diabetes self-manage using multiple daily injection (MDI) insulin regimens and self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG). Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) are adjuncts to education and support self-management optimization. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess which first-line technology is most effective. METHODS: Electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE and WEB OF SCIENCE) were systematically searched from 1999 to September 2020. Randomized controlled trials comparing either CSII with MDI or CGM with SMBG in adults with type 1 diabetes were included. Data were extracted in duplicate by two reviewers, and were analysed to assess individual and overall treatment effect measures (PROSPERO registration: CRD42020149915). RESULTS: Glycated haemoglobin was significantly reduced for CGM when compared with SMBG [Cohen's d - 0.62 (95% CI -0.79 to -0.45)] and for CSII when compared with MDI [Cohen's d - 0.44 (95% CI -0.67 to -0.22)]. Rates of severe hypoglycaemia were significantly reduced with CGM compared with SMBG, but did not change for CSII when compared with MDI. Episodes of diabetic ketoacidosis were more likely to occur with CSII than MDI. Both CSII and CGM reduced glucose standard deviation, compared with MDI and SMBG respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Both CGM and CSII remain impactful interventions compared with SMBG and MDI but in adults with type 1 diabetes and in the contexts in which they have been studied, CGM might have a greater positive impact on glycaemic variability and severe hypoglycaemia than CSII, when added to MDI and SMBG. A head-to-head study, including patient reported outcomes, is required to explore these findings further.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare metabolic control measured as hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), the risk of severe hypoglycemia, and body composition measured as body mass index standard deviation scores (BMI-SDS) in a nationwide sample of children and adolescents with Type 1 diabetes with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) and multiple daily injections (MDI), respectively. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Longitudinal data from 2011 to 2016 were extracted from the Swedish National Quality Register (SWEDIABKIDS) with both cross-sectional (6 years) and longitudinal (4 years) comparisons. Main end points were changes in HbA1c, BMI-SDS, and incidence of severe hypoglycemia. RESULTS: Data were available from 35,624 patient-years (54% boys). In general, HbA1c decreased approximately 0.5% (2-5 mmol/mol) from 2011 to 2016 (ptrend < 0.001) and the use of CSII increased in both sexes and all age groups. Mean HbA1c was 0.1% (0.7-1.5 mmol/mol) lower in the CSII treated group. Teenagers, especially girls, using CSII tended to have higher BMI-SDS. There was no difference in the number of hypoglycemias between CSII and MDI over the years 2011-2016. CONCLUSIONS: There was a small decrease in HbA1c with CSII treatment but of little clinical relevance. Overall, mean HbA1c decreased in both sexes and all age groups without increasing the episodes of severe hypoglycemia, indicating that other factors than insulin method contributed to a better metabolic control.

BACKGROUND: Data on the use of Control-IQ, the latest FDA-approved automated insulin delivery (AID) system for people with T1D 6 years of age or older is still scarce, particularly regarding nonglycemic outcomes. Children with T1D and their parents are at higher risk for sleep disturbances. This study assesses sleep, psycho-behavioral and glycemic outcomes of AID compared to sensor-augmented pump therapy (SAP) therapy in young children with T1D and their parents. METHODS: Thirteen parents and their young children (ages 7-10) on insulin pump therapy were enrolled. Children completed an initial 4-week study with SAP using their own pump and a study CGM followed by a 4-week phase of AID. Sleep outcomes for parents and children were evaluated through actigraphy watches. Several questionnaires were administered at baseline and at the end of each study phase. CGM data were used to assess glycemic outcomes. RESULTS: Actigraphy data did not show any significant change from SAP to AID, except a reduction of number of parental awakenings during the night (p = 0.036). Parents reported statistically significant improvements in Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index total score (p = 0.009), Hypoglycemia Fear Survey total score (p = 0.011), diabetes-related distress (p = 0.032), and depression (p = 0.023). While on AID, time in range (70-180 mg/dL) significantly increased compared to SAP (p < 0.001), accompanied by a reduction in hyperglycemia (p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that use of AID has a positive impact on glycemic outcomes in young children as well as sleep and diabetes-specific quality of life outcomes in their parents.
