Real-World Clinical Impact of Using Personal Glucose Targets in a Hybrid Closed-Loop System Differs According to Age

Diabetes Technol TherPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

Personal glucose targets are frequently used, with clinical impact differing depending on user-age. Adjusting glucose targets may help to achieve recommended glycemic targets and individual glycemic goals.

Study context

Population
Real-world CamAPS FX users aged 1 to 90 years from 11 countries, with ≥8 weeks of closed-loop use between December 1, 2022 and November 30, 2023
Participants
8,604 users
Exposure
Personal glucose targets vs default target in CamAPS FX HCL
Outcome
Use of personal glucose targets and glycemic control by target and age-group
Methodological detailsreal-world data, 11 countries, Every sensor glucose reading matched to the user-specified glucose target

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Personal glucose targets used by very young children
>50%
Personal glucose targets used by school-aged children
>40%
Default target use in all other age-groups (of the time)
65%-68%
Personal targets >120 mg/dL associated with TIR
<70%
Time <70 mg/dL across targets, apart from lowest (80-89 mg/dL)
<4%
Older adults achieved TIR across all targets
≥70%
Very young children and young adults achieved TIR >70% only with targets below default; in very young children associated with time <70 mg/dL of
>4%

Observational data: associations, not effects.
