Safety Event Outcomes and Glycemic Control with a Hybrid Closed-Loop System Used by Chinese Adolescents and Adults with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

Diabetes Technol TherPublished Single-arm prospective study

Authors' conclusion

Chinese adolescents and adults, some of whom met target A1C at baseline, safely achieved significantly improved glycemia with 1 month of MiniMed 770G system use when compared to open-loop insulin delivery.

Study context

Population
Chinese adolescents (n = 12; mean ± SD 15.5 ± 1.1 years) and adults (n = 50; 37.6 ± 11.1 years) with T1D; baseline A1C 7.1% ± 1.0%12 adolescents · 50 adults
Participants
62 participants
Exposure
Hybrid Closed-loop (HCL) Auto Mode vs open-loop Manual Mode run-in
Outcome

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

P < 0.001

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

Time below range (TBR) (<70 mg/dL), subgroup with baseline A1C <7.0% (n = 29)

TBR reduced from run-in to Auto Mode
5.6% to 2.0%
  • Subgroup analysis

Time above range (TAR) (>180 mg/dL), subgroup with baseline A1C ≥7.5% (n = 21)

TAR reduced from run-in to Auto Mode
31.6% to 20.8%
  • Subgroup analysis

Achieving combined recommendations for time at sensor glucose ranges (time in range (TIR) >70%, TBR <4%, TAR <25%) · baseline to study end

Percentage achieving combined targets increased with Auto Mode use
24.2% at baseline to 77.4% at study end

Total daily insulin dose

Total daily insulin dose reduced
42.8 ± 19.8 to 40.7 ± 18.9 U (P = 0.013)

Safety

Severe hypoglycaemia, diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and serious adverse events

There were no severe hypoglycaemic, DKA or serious adverse events
