Survey of glucose levels in adults with T1DM attending clinic using automated insulin delivery (AID) devices compared with manual insulin delivery
Authors' conclusion
AID use was associated with better glycaemic and clinical outcomes irrespective of socio-economic status. AID use tended to be more prevalent among the socio-economically advantaged. We strongly advocate for equitable AID access based on clinical need rather than financial means.
