Evaluation of time in tight range and the glycaemia risk index in adults with type 1 diabetes using an advanced hybrid closed loop system: A 1‐year real‐world assessment

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

The results highlight the sustained effectiveness of Tandem t:slim X2 with Control-IQ in improving glycaemic outcomes over 1 year and support the use of this technology for the management of T1D.

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Mean TiTR (70-140 mg/dL)

P = 0.059

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Other continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) metrics, mean sensor glucose, glucose management indicator (GMI), HbA1c, insulin daily dose

CGM metrics incl. time in range and time above range showed consistent improvements
Mean sensor glucose, GMI and HbA1c decreased significantly over time
After an initial increase, insulin daily dose remained stable throughout 12 months
