Consequences of delayed pump infusion line change in patients with Type 1 diabetes mellitus treated with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion
Thethi et al. J Diabetes Complications. 2010 Mar-Apr;24(2):73-8.
Changing Lines Regularly
A randomised crossover trial with 20 patients with Type 1 diabetes to investigate the lack of adherence to the recommended change in insulin pump infusion line use beyond 48h.
From Day 2 to Day 5 of the pump line use, the daily average glucose level increased from 122.7 to 163.9 mg/dl, fasting glucose from 120.3 to 154.5 mg/dl, postprandial glucose from 114.6 to 172.1 mg/dl, and the daily maximum glucose from 207.7 to 242.8 dl. Time period that the glucose was N180 mg/dl increased from 14.5% to 38.3% (Pb.05). Loss of control occurred despite increase in total daily insulin dose from 48.5±11.8 to 55.3±17.9 U.
Characteristics of basal insulin requirements by age and gender in Type 1 diabetes patients using insulin pump therapy
Scheiner and Boyer. Diabetes Res Clin Pract. 2005 Jul;69(1):14-21.
Pump Therapy vs. Multiple Daily Injections
Observational study of 322 patients to determine whether basal insulin requirements vary by age group and time of day in patients with Type 1 diabetes.
- Results indicate basal needs are unlikely to be met by one flat rate of basal delivery
- Type 1 patients on average require 5.2 rates per 24 hours.
- 2 distinct patterns – adult and juvenile
- No 2 patients had the same profile
Association of glycaemia with macrovascular and microvascular complications of Type 2 diabetes (UKPDS 35): prospective observational study
Stratton et al. BMJ 2000; 321:405.
Benefits of Treating to Target - Type 2
A prospective observational study of 3,642 patients to determine the relation between exposure to glycaemia over time and the risk of macrovascular or microvascular complications in patients with Type 2 diabetes.
The incidence of clinical complications was significantly associated with glycaemia. Each 1% reduction in updated mean HbA1c was associated with reductions in risk of 21% for any end point related to diabetes, 21% for deaths related to diabetes, 14% for myocardial infarction, and 37% for microvascular complications.
Intensive Diabetes Treatment and Cardiovascular Disease in Patients with Type 1 Diabetes
Nathan et al. N Engl J Med 2005; 353:2643-2653.
Benefits of Treating to Target
An observational follow up of DCCT study (1,394 patients randomised control trial assigned to either current conventional therapy or intensive management via pump or multiple daily injections) to compare cardiovascular complications.
Intensive cohort reduced adjusted mean risk for developing the following:
- Cardiovascular disease by 42%
- Heart attack and stroke 57%
The Effect of Intensive Treatment of Diabetes on the Development and Progression of Long-Term Complications in Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (DCCT)
Nathan et al. N Engl J Med 1993; 329:977-986.
Benefits of Treating to Target
1,441 patients randomised control trial comparing complications of conventional therapy vs intensive management via pump or multiple daily injections.
Intensive cohort reduced adjucted mean risk for developing the following:
- Retinopathy by 76%
- Nephropathy by 56%
- Neuropathy by 60%
