Consistency of quantitative scores of hypoglycemia severity and glycemic lability and comparison with continuous glucose monitoring system measures in long-standing type 1 diabetes.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:In long-standing type 1 diabetes (T1D), loss of endogenous insulin secretion and glucose dysregulation can lead to severe hypoglycemia and associated complications. Here, we report the serial consistency and the correlation between different scores that characterize glucose dysregulation using self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG), in a cohort of T1D individuals being evaluated for transplant eligibility in Clinical Islet Transplantation Consortium trials. SUBJECTS AND METHODS:In total, 152 C-peptide-negative T1D subjects with at least one severe hypoglycemia episode in the prior year documented SMBG at enrollment and every 6 months until deemed ineligible or transplanted. SMBG was used to calculate the HYPO score, Lability Index (LI), and mean amplitude of glycemic excursion (MAGE). Additionally, a blinded continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) was worn for 72?h at enrollment and every 12 months. RESULTS:In this cohort, LI was the most consistent (intraclass correlation coefficient=0.70) over time, followed by the HYPO score (0.51), with MAGE being the least consistent (0.36). Although MAGE and LI were highly correlated with each other, neither correlated with CGMS SD or glucose coefficient of variation (CV). Subjects spent a median of 97?min/day at <54?mg/dL using CGMS. The HYPO score correlated with CGMS time below 54?mg/dL and glucose CV. CONCLUSIONS:The HYPO score and LI are more consistent than MAGE in patients with established T1D experiencing severe hypoglycemic events and may be especially useful both for identifying subjects experiencing the greatest difficulty in maintaining glycemic control and for longitudinal assessment of novel interventions.

Project description:Tight glycemic control can potentially reduce morbidity and mortality in the intensive care unit but increases the risk of hypoglycemia. The most effective means to avoid hypoglycemia is to obtain frequent blood glucose samples, but this increases the burden to nursing staff. The objective of this study was to assess the ability of a real-time continuous glucose monitor to reduce hypoglycemia (blood glucose <60 mg/dL [3.3 mmol/L]) during standard care or tight glycemic control effected with a proportional integral derivative insulin titration algorithm.Real-time continuous glucose monitor profiles obtained from an ongoing prospective randomized trial of tight glycemic control were retrospectively analyzed to determine whether the continuous glucose measure had prevented instances of hypoglycemia.Cardiac intensive care unit.Children 3 yrs of age or younger undergoing cardiac surgery were studied.Intravenous insulin infusion and rescue glucose guided by the real-time continuous glucose monitor and the proportional integral derivative algorithm in the tight glycemic control arm (n = 155; target glucose 80-110 mg/dL [4.4-6.1 mmol/L]) and the real-time continuous glucose monitor in the standard care arm (n = 156).No reduction in hypoglycemia was observed with real-time continuous glucose monitor alarms set at 60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L) (zero of 19 occurrences of blood glucose <60 mg/dL [3.3 mmol/L] detected); 18 of 40 subsequent incidences of hypoglycemia were detected after the alarm threshold was increased to 70 mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L). In the tight glycemic control arm, eight incidences were reduced in duration and an additional eight events were prevented with intravenous glucose. In the standard care arm, three of nine occurrences of hypoglycemia were detected with the duration reduced in all cases. On average, one to two false hypoglycemia alarms were observed in each patient.The real-time continuous glucose monitor in combination with proportional integral derivative control can reduce hypoglycemia during tight glycemic control. The real-time continuous glucose monitor can also reduce hypoglycemia during standard care. However, false alarms increase the overall nursing workload.
