Abstract
Introduction
Automatic insulin delivery (AID) systems improve glycemic control and quality of life in individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Our aim was to assess the feasibility, effectiveness, and safety of switching from a sensor-augmented pump (SAP) to AID in T1D subjects at high risk of hypoglycemia.
Materials and methods
A manufacturer-led program consisting of three sessions was implemented. Over three days, all patients completed the first session in-person, in groups of 6–12 people, to receive device training. Subsequently, the automatic mode was activated virtually (session 2), followed by online data download (session 3). Glucometric outcomes were evaluated after one month, along with serious adverse events (SAEs), technical incidents, and perceived satisfaction.
Results
The switch was performed in 125 patients, 56.8% of whom were women, with a mean age of 44.1 ± 14.9 years. 99.2% (n = 124) initialized auto-mode. There was an increase in time in range 70–180 mg/dL (64.3 ± 11.3 vs. 74.7 ± 11.2; p < 0.001) and a decrease in time below 70 mg/dL (4.1 ± 3.9 vs. 2.0 ± 1.8; p < 0.001) (N = 97). Forty-one related calls were received, with 10 requiring in-person visits. Medtronic technical service handled 92 related calls (0.74 per patient), from 47 different users (37.6%). One event of severe hypoglycemia was recorded as an SAE. Perceived security and satisfaction with the switch process were high in 91% and 92% of patients, respectively.
Conclusions
Massive switch from SAP to AID in T1D patients at high risk of hypoglycemia is feasible and safe through a hybrid program conducted in collaboration with the manufacturer.
期刊介绍:
Endocrinología, Diabetes y Nutrición is the official journal of the Spanish Society of Endocrinology and Nutrition (Sociedad Española de Endocrinología y Nutrición, SEEN) and the Spanish Society of Diabetes (Sociedad Española de Diabetes, SED), and was founded in 1954.
The aim of the journal is to improve knowledge and be a useful tool in practice for clinical and laboratory specialists, trainee physicians, researchers, and nurses interested in endocrinology, diabetes, nutrition and related disciplines.
It is an international journal published in Spanish (print and online) and English (online), covering different fields of endocrinology and metabolism, including diabetes, obesity, and nutrition disorders, as well as the most relevant research produced mainly in Spanish language territories.
The quality of the contents is ensured by a prestigious national and international board, and by a selected panel of specialists involved in a rigorous peer review. The result is that only manuscripts containing high quality research and with utmost interest for clinicians and professionals related in the field are published.
The Journal publishes Original clinical and research articles, Reviews, Special articles, Clinical Guidelines, Position Statements from both societies and Letters to the editor.
Endocrinología, Diabetes y Nutrición can be found at Science Citation Index Expanded, Medline/PubMed and SCOPUS.
