Glucose Monitoring Metrics in Individuals With Type 1 Diabetes Using Different Treatment Modalities: A Real-World Observational Study

Diabetes CarePublished Cross-sectional study

Authors' conclusion

AID appears superior to other insulin treatment modalities with CGM. Although bias may be present because of indications, AID should be considered the preferred choice for insulin pump therapy.

Study context

Population
Individuals with T1D using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) at Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen, Denmark; data September 2021 to August 2022, CGM used ≥20% of a 4-week periodof 6,314 attendees
Participants
3,184 individuals
Exposure

  • MDIn = 1,622reference
  • SUPn = 504
  • SAPn = 354
  • AIDn = 561
Outcome

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

TIR (3.9-10.0 mmol/L)

Observational data: associations, not effects.
