MELBOURNE ? A closed-loop system of continuous glucose monitoring coupled with an insulin pump significantly improved glucose control in adolescents with type 1 diabetes, with less time spent in hypoglycemia.
In a real-world, at-home study of the so-called artificial pancreas, 24-hour mean glucose levels were significantly lower among patients using the closed-loop device (8.5 mmol/L), compared with those using sensor-augmented pump therapy (9.0 mmol/L).
The closed-loop system also led to significantly more time in blood glucose targets (64% vs. 47%) and fewer nights with hypoglycemia (10% vs. 17%) over 21 days, Roman Hovorka, Ph.D., said at the World Diabetes Congress.
