Diabetic Ketoacidosis at Onset of Type 1 Diabetes and Glycemic Outcomes with Closed-Loop Insulin Delivery

Diabetes Technol TherPublished Post hoc analysis of the CLOuD trial

Authors' conclusion

We conclude that HCL therapy may mitigate against the negative glycemic effects of DKA at T1D diagnosis.

Study context

Population
Adolescents using hybrid-closed loop (HCL) from diagnosis of T1D in the CLOuD trial
Participants
51 adolescents
Comparison
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) vs no DKA at diagnosis, all using HCL from T1D onset
  • DKAn = 17
  • No DKAn = 34reference

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

TIR 3.9-10.0 mmol/L (70-180 mg/dL), TBR (<3.9 mmol/L, <70 mg/dL) and HbA1c · 6, 12 and 24 months
  • Similar TIR, TBR and HbA1c with vs without DKA at diagnosis

Further findings

Insulin requirements · 6 months

Higher with DKA at diagnosis; not statistically significant after adjusting for bodyweight

Residual C-peptide secretion

Similar between groups
