Long-term efficacy of sensor-augmented pump therapy (Minimed 640G system) combined with a telemedicine follow-up in patients with type 1 diabetes: A real life study
Abstract
Objective: Evaluate the efficacy of a new modality of insulin therapy associating both the sensor-augmented pump therapy with predictive low-glucose management (SAP-PLGM) and a telemedicine follow-up in patients with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) in a real-life setting.
Methods: T1D adults under Minimed 640G system with a telemedicine follow-up for glucose management were included in a retrospective study. The primary endpoint was HbA1c while continuous glucose monitoring parameters (CGM) and treatment compliance were the secondary endpoints. These parameters were analyzed according to the therapeutic indication, HbA1c ≥ 8 % (Group A) or severe hypoglycemic events (Group B) and in patients switched to SAP-PLGM therapy.
Results: 62 patients were analyzed with a 28 ± 12 months of follow-up. In Group A, HbA1c decreased from 8.3 ± 0.4 % to 7.7 ± 0.7 % (p < 0.05) and to 7.9 ± 0.3 % (p < 0.05) after 2 and 3 years, respectively. In patients switched to SAP-PLGM therapy, HbA1c decreased from 7.7 ± 0.7 % to 7.2 ± 0.8 % (p < 0.05) at 2 years. After 6 months, the time-below-range (<70 mg/dL) decreased from 2.1 % [0.6-4] to 1.1 % [0.3-2.6] (p < 0.05). Severe hypoglycemic events decreased from 1.62 to 0.5 events/patient/year in Group B (p < 0.05). At 3 years, treatment compliance was 92 % [70-97] in the total population.
Conclusions: Long-term real-life treatment with the SAP-PLGM therapy combined with telemedicine was associated with improved glycemic control in T1D, along with high treatment compliance.
