Detailed Analysis of Insulin Absorption Variability and the Tissue Response to Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion Catheter Implantation in Swine.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Worldwide, ?1 million people manage their type 1 diabetes with an insulin pump and a continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) catheter. Patients routinely insert a new catheter every 2-3 days due to increasing variability of insulin absorption over time. Catheter insertion and maintenance damage capillaries, lymphatics, cells, and connective tissue leading to an acute inflammatory response. METHODS:We compared an investigational CSII catheter (IC) and a commercial CSII catheter (CC) regarding insulin absorption pharmacokinetics (PK) and tissue inflammation. The two different catheter designs were implanted into the subcutaneous tissue of six swine for 5 days. Insulin boluses were given on days 1, 3, and 5 of wear-time to assess PK. Tissue around catheters was excised and stained to visualize inflammation and morphological changes of adjacent tissue. RESULTS:Insulin absorption was better when infused through a CC with highest Cmax and fastest tmax values on day 5 of catheter wear-time. Both catheter types produced high intra- and intersubject day-to-day insulin absorption variability. The IC caused significantly more tissue disruption and lead to irregular changes in tissue morphology. Both catheter types were surrounded by a layer of inflammatory tissue that varied in composition, thickness, and density over time. A catheter that was manually inserted by pushing a sharp tip through the skin caused more trauma and variability than a 90° Teflon cannula with automated insertion. CONCLUSIONS:Insulin absorption variability could be attributed to the layer of inflammatory tissue, which may function as a mechanical barrier to insulin flow into adjacent vascular tissue. The impact of the acute inflammatory tissue response on insulin absorption has to be considered in future catheter designs. A catheter that was manually inserted by pushing a sharp tip through the skin caused more trauma and variability than a 90° Teflon cannula with automated insertion.

Project description:Aims/hypothesisWe aimed to compare diabetic retinopathy outcomes in people with type 1 diabetes following introduction of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) therapy with outcomes in people receiving continuing therapy with multiple daily insulin injections (MDI).MethodsThis is a retrospective cohort study using the Scottish Care Information - Diabetes database for retinal screening outcomes and HbA1c changes in 204 adults commenced on CSII therapy between 2013 and 2016, and 211 adults eligible for CSII during the same period but who continued on MDI therapy. Diabetic retinopathy progression (time to minimum one-grade worsening in diabetic retinopathy from baseline grading) was plotted for CSII and MDI cohorts using Kaplan-Meier curves, and outcomes were compared using multivariate Cox regression analysis adjusting for age, sex, baseline HbA1c, blood pressure, cholesterol, smoking status and socioeconomic quintile. Impact of baseline HbA1c and change in HbA1c on diabetic retinopathy progression was assessed within CSII and MDI cohorts.ResultsCSII participants were significantly younger, were from less socially deprived areas, and had lower HbA1c and higher diastolic BP at baseline. There was a larger reduction in HbA1c at 1 year in those on CSII vs MDI (-6 mmol/mol [-0.6%] vs -2 mmol/mol [-0.2%], p < 0.01). Diabetic retinopathy progression occurred in a smaller proportion of adults following commencement of CSII vs continued MDI therapy over mean 2.3 year follow-up (26.5% vs 18.6%, p = 0.0097). High baseline HbA1c (75 mmol/mol [9%]) was associated with diabetic retinopathy progression in the MDI group (p = 0.0049) but not the CSII group (p = 0.93). Change in HbA1c at follow-up, irrespective of baseline glycaemic status, did not significantly affect diabetic retinopathy progression in either group.Conclusions/interpretationCSII was associated with reduced diabetic retinopathy progression compared with continued MDI therapy, and may be protective against diabetic retinopathy progression for those with high baseline HbA1c. Progression of diabetic retinopathy over 3 years was not associated with a change in HbA1c.
