Time Spent in Hypoglycemia According to Age and Time of Day: Observations During Closed-Loop Insulin Delivery
Authors' conclusion
Time in hypoglycemia was highest in the pediatric age group during closed-loop insulin delivery. Hypoglycemia burden was lowest overnight across all age groups.
Study context
- Population
- People with T1D using hybrid closed-loop insulin delivery
- Participants
- 88 people
- Exposure
- Time in hypoglycemia by age group and time of day during closed-loop insulin delivery
- Outcome
- Time spent in hypoglycemia <3.9 mmol/L (<70 mg/dL)
- Follow-up
- 8 weeks of data
Methodological detailspooled data from hybrid closed-loop studies
- Pooled data from hybrid closed-loop studies
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Time in hypoglycemia <3.9 mmol/L (<70 mg/dL), 24-h period
- Between Young children (2-7 years) and Older adults (≥60 years): P < 0.001 for difference between age groups
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings
Time in hypoglycemia: nighttime (midnight-05:59) vs daytime (06:00-23:59)
- Lower during nighttime than daytime across all age groups
