Abstract
Aims
Ultra-rapid insulin lispro (URIL) is associated with faster insulin absorption and earlier offset than standard insulin lispro (IL). This study evaluated whether URIL improves glucose control in a fully closed-loop setting over an 8-h period compared to IL under conditions simulating a missed meal bolus.
Methods
In this open-label, randomised crossover trial, 18 adults with type 1 diabetes using insulin pump therapy [12 females, age 39.1 (14.2) yrs., HbA1c 57.9 (8.7) mmol/mol] completed two 8-h inpatient sessions (09:00 to 17:00 h). Glucose levels were managed using the CamAPS FX closed-loop system with either URIL or IL, in random order. Participants received a standardised meal at 11:00 h without a meal bolus. The primary endpoint was the percentage of time in range (TIR; 3.9–10 mmol/L) based on sensor glucose.
Results
Data related to the 8-h study period from 17 participants were analysed. TIR was numerically higher but not statistically significant with URIL than IL [49.3 (15.6) vs. 39.9 (18.9)%; p = 0.072], with lower time spent in Level 1 (>10 mM) [50.7 (15.6) vs. 59.5 (19.1)%; p = 0.098] and Level 2 hyperglycaemia (>13.9) [18.7 (17.1) vs. 27.9 (19.8)%; p = 0.136]. Similar trends were observed in the 4-h post-meal period. Time in hypoglycaemia was low and comparable between both periods (p > 0.05).
Conclusion
URIL in a fully closed-loop setting showed a clinically meaningful trend towards improved TIR and reduced hyperglycaemia compared to IL. Further advancements in faster-acting insulins are needed to alleviate the burden of pre-meal bolusing and enhance fully closed-loop performance in the future.
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 We do not publish original animal or cell culture studies unless they are part of a study of clinical diabetes involving humans.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.”
