Abstract
Aims
Automated insulin delivery (AID) systems are first-line therapy for type 1 diabetes, but commercially available AIDs in the United States are not approved for pregnancy. We aimed to compare glycemic control achieved during pregnancy by people with type 1 diabetes using AIDs versus standard of care therapy (multiple daily injections and sensor augmented pump therapy).
Methods
This was a retrospective cohort study of people with type 1 diabetes who used a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) during pregnancy. The primary outcome was time in range (TIR); time below range (TBR), time above range, and glucose standard deviation were secondary outcomes. Outcomes were compared using analysis of covariance.
Results
38 people were included: 21 treated with AIDs and 17 with standard of care. The mean antenatal TIR in the AID group was 68.5 ± 12.9 % compared to 55.7 ± 16.7 % (adjusted mean difference 7.9 %, 95 % CI: 0.8 to 15.0, p = 0.03). The AID group achieved a lower TBR (1.7 ± 1.3 % vs 3.0 ± 2.8 %, p = 0.03), and lower glucose standard deviation (37.2 ± 8.0 vs 45.5 ± 8.9, p = 0.02) than standard of care.
Conclusions
In this real-world study, off-label AID use during pregnancy improved TIR while decreasing TBR. While awaiting commercially available AIDs with pregnancy algorithms, standardized approaches to optimizing current systems are needed.
期刊介绍:
Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice is an international journal for health-care providers and clinically oriented researchers that publishes high-quality original research articles and expert reviews in diabetes and related areas. The role of the journal is to provide a venue for dissemination of knowledge and discussion of topics related to diabetes clinical research and patient care. Topics of focus include translational science, genetics, immunology, nutrition, psychosocial research, epidemiology, prevention, socio-economic research, complications, new treatments, technologies and therapy.
