Comparative Effectiveness of Hybrid Closed-Loop Automated Insulin Delivery Systems Among Patients with Type 1 Diabetes

J Diabetes Sci TechnolPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

There were significant reductions in HbA1c in CIQ and OP5. TIR was similar across pumps, but TBR was highest with MT. The %time in automated delivery likely explains differences in change in HbA1c but not TBR between HCL systems.

Study context

Population
Adults >18 years with T1D new to any hybrid closed-loop (HCL) system, with a pump download within three months, academic endocrinology practice, January 1, 2018–November 18, 2022
Participants
176 adults
Exposure
Medtronic 670G/770G vs Tandem Control IQ vs Omnipod 5 HCL systems
  • MTn = 47
  • Control IQ (CIQ)n = 74
  • OP5n = 55
Outcome
Change in HbA1c
Follow-up
91 to 180 days

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

MT

−0.1

median · 25%, 75% −0.8–0.3 · %

CIQ

−0.6

median · 25%, 75% −1.1–-0.15 · %

OP5

−0.55

median · 25%, 75% −0.98–0 · %

P = 0.04

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

TIR 70 to 180 mg/dL · 90 days — between MT and CIQ · across MT, CIQ and OP5

P = 0.95

TBR <70 mg/dL · 90 days — between MT and CIQ · across MT, CIQ and OP5

P = 0.002

Adjusted predictors (incl. %time in automated delivery)

%time in automated delivery was associated with time in range (TIR) and change in HbA1c
After adjustment, HCL type was not an independent predictor of change in HbA1c nor TIR but remained a significant predictor of time below range (TBR)
