Glucometrics and device satisfaction in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes using different treatment modalities: A multicenter real-world observational study
Authors' conclusion
Real-life use of automated insulin delivery systems is associated with reduced type 1 diabetes impact, increased device satisfaction, and achievement of glycemic goals.
Study context
- Population
- Children and adolescents with T1D in Italy, enrolled at a routine visit
- Participants
- 1,464 children
- Exposure
- Different treatment modalities for T1D care
- Outcome
- Metabolic outcomes, diabetes impact and device satisfaction
Methodological detailsmulticenter, nationwide, real-world observational, Health related quality of life evaluated by the Italian version of the Diabetes Impact and Device Satisfaction Scale (DIDS) questionnaire
- Multicenter
- Nationwide
- Real-world observational
- Health related quality of life evaluated by the Italian version of the Diabetes Impact and Device Satisfaction Scale (DIDS) questionnaire
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- Patients on AID systems more likely to have HbA1c ≤ 6.5 %, higher TIR (70–180 mg/dL), lower TAR (>180 mg/dL), higher device satisfaction and reduced diabetes impact
- All modalities vs MDI + CGM, except MDI + SMBG, increased device satisfaction
- Hybrid Closed Loop (HCL) and Advanced Hybrid Closed Loop (AHCL) vs MDI + CGM associated with lower diabetes impact
Observational data: associations, not effects.
