Fully closed‐loop control with ultra‐rapid versus standard insulin lispro: A randomised crossover study simulating missed meal boluses

Diabet MedPublished Randomised crossover trial

Authors' conclusion

URIL in a fully closed-loop setting showed a clinically meaningful trend towards improved TIR and reduced hyperglycaemia compared to IL. Further advancements in faster-acting insulins are needed to alleviate the burden of pre-meal bolusing and enhance fully closed-loop performance in the future.

Study context

Population
Adults with T1D using insulin pump therapy; 12 females, age 39.1 (14.2) yrs, HbA1c 57.9 (8.7) mmol/mol; two 8-h inpatient sessions with standardised meal without meal bolus17 analysed
Participants
18 adults
Comparison
Ultra-rapid insulin lispro (URIL) vs standard insulin lispro (IL) in fully closed-loop control without meal bolus
Primary endpoint
Percentage of time in range (TIR) (3.9-10 mmol/L) based on sensor glucose

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

TIR

P = 0.072

Further findings

Time in Level 1 hyperglycaemia (>10 mM) · 8-h study period

P = 0.098

Time in Level 2 hyperglycaemia (>13.9) · 8-h study period

P = 0.136

4-h post-meal period

Similar trends were observed in the 4-h post-meal period

Safety

Time in hypoglycaemia · 8-h study period

Time in hypoglycaemia was low and comparable between both periods
