Status of glycemic excursions and hypoglycemia in patients with type 1 diabetes 2 months after first initiation of intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring: a pilot study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate glycemic excursions and changes in time in hypoglycemia (hyT) in Japanese type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients 2 months after the first initiation of intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM).

Methods

We enrolled 15 adult T1D patients on insulin therapy to evaluate changes in the parameters for glycemic excursions 2 months after initiating isCGM by using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Binomial logistic regression analyses were also used to identify predictors of hypoglycemia.

Results

A total of 14 patients were available for analysis. Median HbA1c decreased significantly from 7.6% (interquartile range, 6.9-8.3%) to 7.2% (6.7-7.8%) (P = 0.047). Mean glucose, standard deviation of glucose, time in range, and time above range were not significantly different from baseline, while time below range (from 2.2 [1.0-6.9] to 5.0 [2.0-10.8]%; P = 0.016), hyT (from 26.8 [14.5-75.5] to 56.8 [21.7-110.9] min/day; P = 0.030), and time in severe hypoglycemia (shT, from 4.3 [0.0-8.9] to 11.0 [0.0-24.3] min/day; P = 0.022) increased significantly. Additionally, shT increased significantly only during daytime. The factor associated with hyT was found to be the reduction in total insulin dose after 2 months.

Conclusions

In T1D patients with a median HbA1c of 7.6%, HbA1c was significantly decreased 2 months after initiating isCGM, while hyT increased, particularly during daytime. Study results suggest that a reduction in the total insulin dose of about 0.10 U/kg may be required in some cases. These findings need to be taken into account when initiating isCGM.

Project description:BackgroundRandomized controlled trials of time restricted eating (TRE) in adults have demonstrated improvements in glucose variability as captured by continuous glucose monitors (CGM). However, little is known about the feasibility of CGM use in TRE interventions in adolescents, or the expected changes in glycemic profiles in response to changes in meal-timing. As part of a pilot trial of TRE in adolescents with obesity, this study aimed to 1) assess the feasibility of CGM use, 2) describe baseline glycemic profiles in adolescents with obesity, without diabetes, and 3) compare the difference between glycemic profiles in groups practicing TRE versus control.MethodsThis study leverages data from a 12-week pilot trial (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03954223) of late TRE in adolescents with obesity compared to a prolonged eating window. Feasibility of CGM use was assessed by monitoring 1) the percent wear time of the CGM and 2) responses to satisfaction questionnaires. A computation of summary measures of all glycemic data prior to randomization was done using EasyGV and R. Repeat measures analysis was conducted to assess the change in glycemic variability over time between groups. Review of CGM tracings during periods of 24-hour dietary recall was utilized to describe glycemic excursions.ResultsFifty participants were enrolled in the study and 43 had CGM and dietary recall data available (16.4 + 1.3 years, 64% female, 64% Hispanic, 74% public insurance). There was high adherence to daily CGM wear (96.4%) without negative impacts on daily functioning. There was no significant change in the glycemic variability as measured by standard deviation, mean amplitude glycemic excursion, and glucose area under the curve over the study period between groups.ConclusionsCGM use appears to be a feasible and acceptable tool to monitor glycemic profiles in adolescents with obesity and may be a helpful strategy to confirm TRE dosage by capturing glycemic excursions compared to self-reported meal timing. There was no effect of TRE on glucose profiles in this study. Further research is needed to investigate how TRE impacts glycemic variability in this age group and to explore if timing of eating window effects these findings.

Project description:ObjectiveTight 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.DesignReal-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.SettingCardiac intensive care unit.PatientsChildren 3 yrs of age or younger undergoing cardiac surgery were studied.InterventionsIntravenous 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).Measurements and main resultsNo 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.ConclusionsThe 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.

Project description:BackgroundAdvances in diabetes technology have been exponential in the last few decades. With evolution in continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems and its progressive automation in control of insulin delivery, these advances have changed type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) management. These novel technologies have the potential to improve glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), reduce hypoglycaemic events, increase time spent in range and improve quality of life (QoL). Our aim was to evaluate the sustained effects in free-living unsupervised conditions of CGM systems (intermittently scanned and real time) and insulin delivery [from multiple daily injections, via sensor-augmented pump therapy and (predictive) low-glucose insulin suspension to hybrid closed-loop systems] on glucose control and QoL in adults and children with T1DM.MethodsWe performed a systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs), using PubMed and the Cochrane library up to 30 May 2019. Inclusion of RCTs was based on type of intervention (comparing glucose-monitoring devices and insulin-delivery devices), population (nonpregnant adults and children with T1DM), follow-up (outpatient setting for at least 8 weeks) and relevant outcomes [HbA1c, time in range (TIR), time in target, time in hypoglycaemia and QoL]. Exclusion of RCTs was based on intervention (exercise, only overnight use). The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines were used to score the quality of the papers and for the final selection of the articles.ResultsOur search resulted in 214 articles, of which 19 were eligible. Studies on advanced use in adults and children with T1DM reported increased TIR (all 9 studies); decreased time in hypoglycaemia (13 out of 15 studies); lowered HbA1c levels (5 out of 15 studies); improved QoL (10 of 16 studies) and treatment satisfaction (7 studies).ConclusionsRecent technologies have dramatically changed the course of T1DM. They are proving useful in controlling glycaemia in patients with T1DM, without increasing the treatment burden.
