ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Perioperative management of glucose levels remains challenging. We aimed to assess whether fully closed-loop subcutaneous insulin delivery would improve glycemic control compared with standard insulin therapy in insulin-requiring patients undergoing elective surgery. RESEARCH DESIGN ANDMETHODS:
We performed a single-center, open-label, randomized controlled trial. Patients with diabetes (other than type 1) undergoing elective surgery were recruited from various surgical units and randomly assigned using a minimization schedule (stratified by HbA1c and daily insulin dose) to fully closed-loop insulin delivery with fast-acting insulin aspart (closed-loop group) or standard insulin therapy according to local clinical practice (control group). Study treatment was administered from hospital admission to discharge (for a maximum of 20 days). The primary end point was the proportion of time with sensor glucose in the target range (5.6-10.0 mmol/L).RESULTS:
Forty-five patients were enrolled and assigned to the closed-loop (n = 23) or the control (n = 22) group. One patient (closed-loop group) withdrew from the study before surgery and was not analyzed. Participants underwent abdominal (57%), vascular (23%), orthopedic (9%), neuro (9%), or thoracic (2%) surgery. The mean proportion of time that sensor glucose was in the target range was 76.7 ± 10.1% in the closed-loop and 54.7 ± 20.8% in the control group (mean difference 22.0 percentage points [95% CI 11.9; 32.0%]; P < 0.001). No episodes of severe hypoglycemia (<3.0 mmol/L) or hyperglycemia with ketonemia or any study-related adverse events occurred in either group.CONCLUSIONS:
In the context of mixed elective surgery, the use of fully closed-loop subcutaneous insulin delivery improves glucose control without a higher risk of hypoglycemia.
