Abstract:
Background and Aims: HCL CSII has recently been commissioned nationally by NHS England for type1 diabetes (T1D). We looked into the impact of transitioning from CGMaugmented non-closed loop (NCL) CSII to HCL CSII with the same insulin delivery system. Method(s): We analysed a database of T1D on CSII managed in a single district general hospital under one Consultant Diabetologist team. Patients were on Omnipod DASH with Freestyle Libre2/DexcomG6 CGM and transitioned to Omnipod 5 with Dexcom G6 with built in SmartAdjustTM technology. Data was analysed with paired sample T-test (SPSS) at baseline and 6months. Result(s): 53 patients were included, with 31females (59%) and 22males (41%). Baseline mean age was 47years (20-80), diabetes duration 24years (5-62), BMI 27.6kg/m2 (20-41), HbA1c 55-mmol/mol (30-80). At 6 months, mean weight increased by 1.2-kg (p=0.04), BMI increased by 0.2kg/m2 (p=0.617), HbA1c reduced by 3.4mmol/mol (p=0.002), Time in range: TIR (glucose 3.9-10mmol/L) improved from 63% to 71% (p <0.005). GOLD score remained unchanged at 2.0. Serum creatinine increased from 77 to 80umol/L (p=0.007), eGFR reduced from 92 to 80ml/ min (p<0.001), mean urine microalbumin, total cholesterol, grading of retinal screening remained unchanged. Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire, hypoglycaemia fear survey scores were unchanged and mean INSPIRE (Insulin delivery Systems: Perceptions, Ideas, Reflections and Expectations) score was 77 (40-100). Conclusion(s): This analysis demonstrates statistically significant improvement in glycaemic parameters (HbA1c and TIR) at 6 months with minimal but statistically significant weight loss. There were no significant changes in retinal screening but surprisingly some reduction in renal function was observed. Quality of life questionnaires remained unchanged but INSPIRE questionnaire for automated insulin delivery (AID) showed promising results.
