Frequency and Detection of Insulin Infusion Site Failure in the Type 1 Diabetes Exchange Online Community
Authors' conclusion
IIS failures are frequent and unpredictable, typically require hyperglycemia for detection, and are associated with negative perceptions.
Study context
- Population
- U.S. individuals with diabetes on insulin pump, T1D Exchange Online Community
- Outcome
- Reported insulin infusion site (IIS) failure frequency: higher (≥1 per month) vs lower (<1 per month)
Methodological detailsonline survey, logistic regression
- Online survey
- Logistic regression
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
IIS failure ≥1 per month
Reported ≥1 insulin infusion site (IIS) failure per month
41.4%
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings

- Feelings of burnout, OR
- 1.489 (1.024, 2.165) (CI)
- Considering pump discontinuation, OR
- 2.233 (1.455, 3.427) (CI)
- No assessed demographic factor or IIS characteristic was predictive
