Daily Carbohydrate Entries and Glycemic Outcomes Following Automated Insulin Delivery System Initiation in Youth With Type 1 Diabetes: A Real-World Multinational Longitudinal Study

Diabetes CarePublished Longitudinal observational study

Authors' conclusion

Variability in CHO entries is associated with lower TIR, emphasizing the importance of consistent premeal bolus routine when using AID.

Study context

Population
Youth (7–21 years) with T1D for >1 year, followed >6 months after automated insulin delivery (AID) initiation
Participants
347 participants
Outcome
Association between daily CHO entries and glycemic outcomes (CGM-based TIR 70-180 mg/dL, TITR 70-140 mg/dL)
Methodological detailsmultinational, real-world
  • Multinational
  • Real-world

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Day-to-day variability in CHO entries negatively associated with overall time in range (TIR)
P < 0.001
Day-to-day variability in CHO entries negatively associated with overall time in tight range (TITR)
P < 0.001
Higher deviation in daily CHO entry associated with lower daily TITR and TIR
both P < 0.001

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

Overall TIR and TITR after AID initiation

Overall TIR
75.0%
Overall TITR
50.3%
