Assessment of Meal Anticipation for Improving Fully Automated Insulin Delivery in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes

Diabetes CarePublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

Although postprandial control remained optimal with hybrid AID, both fully AID solutions offered overall TIR >70% with similar or lower exposure to hypoglycemia. Anticipation did not significantly improve postprandial control in AID systems but also did not increase hypoglycemic risk when meals were delayed.

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

TIR after breakfast

No significant difference

TIR after dinner (1.5-h delayed)FCL+ vs FCLP = 1.0

Overall 24-h control86 ± 10 %
  • TIR after dinner (1.5-h delayed): FCL+ 71 ± 34 %
  • TIR after dinner (1.5-h delayed): FCL 72 ± 29 %
  • Time below range (TBR) after dinner: FCL+ median 0 (IQR 0–0) %
  • TBR after dinner: FCL median 0 (IQR 0–0.8) %
  • Overall 24-h control: FCL 77 ± 11 %
  • Overall 24-h control: FCL+ 77 ± 12 %

TBR 2 h before dinner

TBR similar for FCL and FCL+
