Indications for Insulin Pump Therapy in Type 1 Diabetes and Associations With Glycemic Control.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Real-world data regarding indications for use of insulin pump remain sparse. We investigated characteristics among individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in relation to indication for use of insulin pump (CSII). Comparison was made with T1D subjects using multiple daily injections (MDI).

Methods

We included all individuals with T1D who had at least 1 registration in the National Diabetes Register during 2014-2015. Among 46 874 individuals, we excluded 2350 due to missing data. We examined 35 725 on MDI and 8799 on CSII regarding characteristics in relation to insulin delivery method, as well as association between insulin delivery and glycemic control (HbA1c) and presence of albuminuria.

Results

Unadjusted mean (SD) HbA1c was 63.84 (15.07) mmol/mol (7.99 [1
