Abstract

Aims: To investigate the effects of different subtypes of lipohypertrophy (LH) on insulin total daily dose (TDD) requirements in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), and to propose subtype-specific insulin dosage adjustment strategies after avoiding injection at sites of LH.

Methods: This prospective observational study enrolled hospitalised T1DM patients with a disease duration ≥1 year. Point-of-care ultrasound was performed immediately after their admission to determine the presence and the specific type of LH. An insulin pump was installed away from the LH sites of each patient. Continuous subcutaneous insulin was infused to control their blood glucose, and the insulin dose was titrated gradually until their blood glucose stabilised to the target.

Results: A total of 288 patients were included. According to ultrasound screening, 104 patients (36.11%) were LH free (LH-0) and 184 patients (63.89%) were found to have LH (LH+), of which 114 had nodular hyperechoic LH (LH-1), 62 had diffuse hyperechoic LH (LH-2) and 8 had hypoechoic LH (LH-3). Paired-sample t-test showed that all LH+ groups had a decrease in TDD and TDD/body weight after avoiding injections at the lesion sites (all p < 0.05). Compared with the LH-0 group, the TDD and TDD/body weight of the LH-2 and LH-3 groups were significantly reduced (all p < 0.05), whereas there was no significant change in the LH-1 group. Among the TDD reduced in the LH-2 and LH-3 groups, the bolus insulin dosage reduced accounted for the vast majority, with 88.05% (8.55/9.71 international unit [IU]/day) and 74.78% (18.12/24.23 IU/day), respectively.

Conclusions: TDD reductions vary among patients with different subtypes of LH. Nodular hyperechoic LH may not require immediate dose adjustments. Patients with diffuse hyperechoic and hypoechoic LH necessitate bolus-focused dose reductions.

期刊介绍: Diabetic Medicine, the official journal of Diabetes UK, is published monthly simultaneously, in print and online editions. The journal publishes a range of key information on all clinical aspects of diabetes mellitus, ranging from human genetic studies through clinical physiology and trials to diabetes epidemiology. We do not publish original animal or cell culture studies unless they are part of a study of clinical diabetes involving humans. Categories of publication include research articles, reviews, editorials, commentaries, and correspondence. All material is peer-reviewed. We aim to disseminate knowledge about diabetes research with the goal of improving the management of people with diabetes. The journal therefore seeks to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas between clinicians and researchers worldwide. Topics covered are of importance to all healthcare professionals working with people with diabetes, whether in primary care or specialist services. Surplus generated from the sale of Diabetic Medicine is used by Diabetes UK to know diabetes better and fight diabetes more effectively on behalf of all people affected by and at risk of diabetes as well as their families and carers.”
