Abstract
Background: The study aimed to determine the relationship between basal insulin adherence and glycemic control evaluated by time in range (TIR) in people with insulin-treated type 2 diabetes (T2D), using data from both continuous glucose monitors (CGM) and connected insulin pens. Furthermore, the study aimed to determine the best basal insulin adherence metric.
Methods: CGM data and basal insulin data were collected from 106 insulin-treated people (aged ≥18 years) with T2D. Three different adherence metrics were employed (dose deviation, dose deviation ≤20%, and a traditional metric) and a three-step methodology was used to measure insulin adherence level. The coefficient of determination (R2), based on a univariate linear regression analysis, was used to determine the relationship between each adherence metric and TIR.
Results: A statistically significant relationship was observed between TIR and adherence quantified as the dose deviation ≤20% metric (R2 = 0.67, P = .006). Neither the relationship between the dose deviation metric and TIR (R2 = 0.43, P = .08) nor the relationship between the traditional metric and TIR (R2 = 0.35, P =.23) was found to be statistically significant.
Conclusions: Our study indicates a relationship between basal insulin adherence and TIR in people with insulin-treated T2D. This seems to underscore the role of basal insulin adherence for optimal glycemic outcomes and utilizing TIR as a clinical marker. Furthermore, the results suggest that the magnitude of deviation from the recommended basal insulin dose impacts glycemic control, indicating dose deviation ≤20% as a more accurate metric for quantifying adherence.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology (JDST) is a bi-monthly, peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the Diabetes Technology Society. JDST covers scientific and clinical aspects of diabetes technology including glucose monitoring, insulin and metabolic peptide delivery, the artificial pancreas, digital health, precision medicine, social media, cybersecurity, software for modeling, physiologic monitoring, technology for managing obesity, and diagnostic tests of glycation. The journal also covers the development and use of mobile applications and wireless communication, as well as bioengineered tools such as MEMS, new biomaterials, and nanotechnology to develop new sensors. Articles in JDST cover both basic research and clinical applications of technologies being developed to help people with diabetes.
