Body weight trends in individuals with type 1 diabetes using automated insulin delivery vs. traditional insulin pumps
Authors' conclusion
In persons with T1D, AID did not increase weight gain in comparison to other pump systems.
Study context
- Population
- Persons with T1D initiating insulin pump therapy
- Participants
- 928 persons
- Exposure
- Automated insulin delivery (AID) vs PLGS vs sensor-augmented pump (SAP)
- AIDn = 467
- PLGSn = 98
- SAPn = 363reference
- Outcome
- Determinants of weight gain after AID initiation
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Body weight gain
- Multivariable analysis: weight gain linked to baseline HbA1c and age but not to type of pump system
- P < 0.001 (baseline HbA1c)
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings
- TIR in AID · baseline to 3 months
- 67.9 % · median · 95CI 66.7–69.1
HbA1c · 3 months
- Mean HbA1c reduction
- 0.82 %
% increase in body weight · 12 months
- Similar between groups
