Abstract
Introduction
Health2Sync (H2S) is a digital health technology platform that provides coaching and titration support to patients with diabetes. The Mallya cap converts a conventional insulin pen into a smart connected device that can automatically synchronize dose values and associated timestamps (upon injection) to the H2S platform. This single-arm real-world study evaluated the effectiveness of insulin glargine 300 U/mL (Gla-300) combined with H2S and Mallya cap (Gla-300 + Cap + App program) on clinical outcomes among users with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Taiwan.
Methods
Adults (aged ≥ 20 years) with T2D who were registered H2S users and initiated Mallya cap for a new/existing Gla-300 regimen (identification period May 1, 2021–May 31, 2022) were included in this retrospective cohort study. Follow-up data from H2S were collected for 90 days. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) change (baseline to follow-up) and HbA1c goal attainment were primary outcomes. Hypoglycemia incidence and usage metrics of Mallya cap were secondary outcomes.
Results
Of 83 participants, 38.6% were new Gla-300 users. HbA1c was reduced in both new (− 2.4 [2.7] %, − 26.2 [29.5] mmol/mol) and previous Gla-300 users (− 0.5 [1.6] %, − 5.5 [17.5] mmol/mol). Reduction in HbA1c was significant (p < 0.05) in both groups. At follow-up, 43.4% of users had a reduction of > 0.5%. Mean HbA1c reductions increased numerically with higher baseline HbA1c and with longer duration of Mallya cap usage.
Conclusions
Use of digital technology within a connected ecosystem such as Gla-300 + Cap + App program could help people with type 2 diabetes to improve their glycemic condition.
期刊介绍:
Diabetes Therapy is an international, peer reviewed, rapid-publication (peer review in 2 weeks, published 3–4 weeks from acceptance) journal dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of therapeutics and interventions (including devices) across all areas of diabetes. Studies relating to diagnostics and diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health, epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
The journal is of interest to a broad audience of healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, communications and letters. The journal is read by a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world. Diabetes Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an international and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of all scientifically and ethically sound research.
