Pregnancy outcome and glycemic control in women with Type 1 diabetes: A retrospective comparison between CSII and multiple daily injections treatment
Talaviya et al. Diabetes Metab Syndr. 2013 Apr-Jun;7(2):68-71.
Pumps in Pregnancy
Retrospective observational study of 34 pregnant Type 1 patients (pump therapy n=14 / multiple daily injections n=20) to evaluate glycaemic control and maternal-fetal outcome.
- Reduction in A1C was greater in all 3 trimesters when CSII was used
- Duration of pregnancy and birth weights were the same in both groups
- Rate of abortion, preterm labour, caesarean section and newborn hypoglycaemia were all better in CSII treated pregnancies
- Daily insulin requirements were less in CSII
MiniMed® 640G User Evaluation
Choudhary. ADA Poster Presentation June 2015.
Predictive Low Glucose Managment
40 subjects with Type 1 diabetes were enrolled at 3 European centers and provided with MiniMed® 640G systems for 4 weeks.
- Average of 2.1 pump suspends per day
- In 83.1% of the suspend before low events where the pump stopped delivering insulin, the SG value never reached the pre-set low limit
- The overall mean (±SD) duration of an automatic pump suspension event was 56.3±9.5 min
- The mean SG nadir following pump suspensions was 70.3±7.1 mg/dL
The PILGRIM Study: In Silico Modeling of a Predictive Low Glucose Management System and Feasibility in Youth with Type 1 Diabetes During Exercise
Danne et al. Diabetes Technol Ther. 2014 Jun;16(6):338-47.
Predictive Low Glucose Management
Proof of concept study with two phases, in-silico modelling and clincal study with 22 patients with Type 1 to determine the effectiveness and safety of Predictive Low Glucose Management.
- 80% of hypoglycaemic events were avoided by use of SmartGuard® (defined as SG <3.9 mmol/L)
- SmartGuard® achieved 42% less time spent low compared to Low Glucose Suspend
- The sensor glucose value for suspension (92 ±7 mg/dL) and resumption (97±19mg/dL) were similar, however the values were falling at suspension and rising at resumption
Effect of sensor-augmented insulin pump therapy and automated insulin suspension vs standard insulin pump therapy on hypoglycemia in patients with type 1 diabetes: a randomized clinical trial
Ly TT et al. JAMA. 2013 Sep 25;310(12):1240-7.
Benefits of Low Glucose Suspend
RCT comparing the rates of severe hypoglycaemia (coma/seizure) in patients using CSII versus Sensor Augmented Pump therapy with the Low Glucose Suspend feature ON over a 6 month period in 95 children and adults with impaired hypo awareness.
- Significant reduction in the number of severe hypoglycaemic events from 21.9 to 0.0 events/100pt-yrs (low glucose suspend-On group)vs. 24.8 to 26.7 events/100 pt-yrs in the CSII group (p=0.017)
- Significant reduction in exposure to glucose values below 70mg/dl and 60mg/dl in the low glucose suspend group compared to control (p=0.006 and p=0.009 respectively)
- Reduced fear of hypoglycaemia was shown in the low glucose suspend group
ASPIRE In-Home: Rationale, Design, and Methods of a Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Automatic Insulin Suspension for Nocturnal Hypoglycemia
Klonoff DC et al. J Diabetes Sci Technol 2013;7(4):1005–1010
Benefits of Low Glucose Suspend
RCT comparing the sensor augmented pump therapy with low glucose suspend feature ON, vs. sensor augmented pump therapy alone, over a 3 months in 247 adults & teens in 19 US centres.
Low glucose suspend ON significantly reduced:
- The proportion of values in the hypoglycaemic range (<70mg/dl)
- The nocturnal hypo area under the curve (AUC) by 37.5%
- Daytime and night-time hypoglycemic AUC by 31.4%
