Yu J, Wang H, Zhu M, Xu J. MDI versus CSII in Chinese adults with type 1 diabetes in a real-world situation: based on propensity score matching method. Health Qual Life Outcomes 2024; 22:47. [PMID: 38872219 PMCID: PMC11170850 DOI: 10.1186/s12955-024-02263-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2024] [Accepted: 05/31/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Compared with multiple daily insulin injections (MDI), continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) is significantly more expensive and has not been widely used in Chinese type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) patients. So there are still significant knowledge gaps regarding clinical and patient-reported outcomes in China. AIMS This study aims to compare the glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C), insulin therapy related quality of life (ITR-QOL), fear of hypoglycemia (FOH) of adult T1DM patients treated with MDI and CSII based on propensity score matching in real-world conditions in China. METHODS Four hundred twenty adult T1DM patients who were treated with MDI or CSII continuously for more than 12 months in a national metabolic center from June 2021 to June 2023 were selected as the study subjects. Their QOL and FOH were evaluated with Insulin Therapy Related Quality of Life Measure Questionnaire-Chinese version (ITR-QOL-CV) and the Chinese Version Hypoglycemia Fear Survey-Worry Scale (CHFSII-WS), and their HbA1C were collected at the same time. Potential confounding variables between the two groups were matched using propensity score matching. RESULTS Of the 420 patients included in the study, 315 were in MDI group and 105 were in CSII group. 102 pairs were successfully matched. After matching, the total score of ITR-QOL-CV scale in CSII group was significantly higher than that in MDI group (87.08 ± 13.53 vs. 80.66 ± 19.25, P = 0.006). Among them, the dimensions of daily life, social life, and psychological state were all statistically different (P < 0.05). The scores of CHFSII-WS (8.33 ± 3.49 vs. 11.77 ± 5.27, P = 0.003) and HbA1C (7.19 ± 1.33% vs. 7.71 ± 1.93%, P = 0.045) in CSII group were lower than those in MDI group. CONCLUSIONS 25.0% of T1DM adults are treated with CSII. Compared with adult T1DM patients treated with MDI, those treated with CSII have higher ITR-QOL, less FoH, and better control of HbA1C in real-world conditions in China. Therefore, regardless of economic factors, CSII is recommended for adult T1DM patients to optimize the therapeutic effect and outcomes.

Satisfaction with continuous glucose monitoring is associated with quality of life in young people with type 1 diabetes regardless of metabolic control and treatment type. Diabet Med 2024; 41:e15307. [PMID: 38383984 DOI: 10.1111/dme.15307] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2023] [Revised: 01/15/2024] [Accepted: 02/03/2024] [Indexed: 02/23/2024]
Abstract
AIMS While continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and associated technologies have positive effects on metabolic control in young people with type 1 diabetes (T1D), less is known about their impact on quality of life (QoL). Here, we quantified CGM satisfaction and QoL in young people with T1D and their parents/caregivers to establish (i) the relationship between QoL and CGM satisfaction and (ii) the impact of the treatment regimen on QoL. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study of children and adolescents with T1D on different treatment regimens (multiple daily injections, sensor-augmented pumps and automated insulin delivery). QoL was assessed with the KINDL instrument, and CGM satisfaction with the CGM-SAT questionnaire was evaluated in both youths with T1D and their parents. RESULTS Two hundred and ten consecutively enrolled youths with T1D completed the KINDL and CGM-SAT questionnaires. The mean total KINDL score was greater than neutral in both subjects with T1D (3.99 ± 0.47) and parents (4.06 ± 0.40), and lower overall CGM-SAT scores (i.e., higher satisfaction) were significantly associated with higher QoL in all six KINDL subscales (p < 0.05). There were no differences in KINDL scores according to delivery technology or when participants were grouped according to optimal and sub-optimal glucose control. CONCLUSIONS Higher satisfaction with recent CGMs was associated with better QoL in all dimensions. QoL was independent of both the insulin delivery technology and glycaemic control. CGM must be further disseminated. Attention on perceived satisfaction with CGM should be incorporated with the clinical practice to improve the well-being of children and adolescents with T1D and their families.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Poorly controlled adolescents living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and pump failure of insulin delivery leading to diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) are still challenging in the western world. AIM To investigate the effect of a combination modality of long-acting insulin for basal coverage and a pump for boluses, on the incidence of DKA and glycemic parameters in pediatric and young adults with poorly controlled T1D. METHODS This multicenter, observational retrospective study included 55 patients (age range 3-25 years, 52.7% males) who were treated with the combination modality for a median of 18 months [(IQR)12,47], as part of their clinical care. Data were retrieved at initiation of the combined modality, after 6 months, and at last visit. RESULTS Cohort's median age at combination modality initiation was 14.5 years [IQR12.4,17.3], and its median HbA1c level was 9.2% [IQR 8.2,10.2]. The main reasons for combination modality initiation were: (a) concern about sustained hyperglycemia on current management in 41.8%, (b) previous DKA episodes in 30.8%, and (c) refusal to wear a pump continuously in 14.6%. The percent of patients experiencing DKA who used the modality till end decreased from 25.4 to 8.8%. The frequency of DKA events per patient month decreased after 6 months from 0.073 (min 0, max 0.5) to 0.020 (min 0, max 0.5), p = 0.01, and at end to 0.016 (min 0, max 0.25), p = 0.007. CONCLUSIONS The combination modality of once-daily long-acting insulin and pump for boluses is safe, feasible, and effective in preventing DKA among poorly controlled young people living with T1D, unable or un-willing to use advanced closed pumps.

Abstract
Context Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a chronic disease, mainly observed in children or youth, with a significantly increased incidence in young children. Structured therapeutic patient education (TPE) is a must to help them manage their disease effectively and lead a healthy lifestyle. Aims This study aimed to assess the effects of a structured TPE program on glycemic markers and quality of life (QOL) of T1DM children and adolescents in Fez city, Morocco. Settings and Design It is a quasi-experimental study. Materials and Methods One hundred T1DM children and adolescents, aged 8-18, participated in a TPE intervention at the pediatric department in a hospital center in Fez, Morocco. Glycemic markers were measured and QOL was assessed by a validated questionnaire. Statistical Analysis Used Parametric and nonparametric tests were used and statistical significance determined by P < 0.05. Results At 3 months' follow-up, both global and dimensional QOL mean scores improved significantly (P ≤ 0.0001), whereas glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) decreased (10.28% vs. 10.62%), tough with no statistical significance (P = 0.160). Furthermore, a significant improvement was observed in the maximum preprandial (2, 11 g/L [1.51-2.58] vs. 2, 37 g/L [1.81-3.21], P = 0.001) and postprandial blood glucose levels (2, 50 g/L [1.90-3.27] vs. 2, 95 g/L [2.07-3.99], P = 0.001) after 3 months; with no significant change in their minimum. Conclusion Although this TPE intervention was more effective in improving patients' QOL than their HbA1c, it is worth striving to implement regular TPE programs for T1DM pediatric patients and adjust them to achieve a better patients' glycemic markers levels.

Abstract
Combining existing drug therapy is essential in developing new therapeutic agents in disease prevention and treatment. In preclinical investigations, combined effect of certain known drugs has been well established in treating extensive human diseases. Attributed to synergistic effects by targeting various disease pathways and advantages, such as reduced administration dose, decreased toxicity, and alleviated drug resistance, combinatorial treatment is now being pursued by delivering therapeutic agents to combat major clinical illnesses, such as cancer, atherosclerosis, pulmonary hypertension, myocarditis, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, metabolic disorders and neurodegenerative diseases. Combinatorial therapy involves combining or co-delivering two or more drugs for treating a specific disease. Nanoparticle (NP)-mediated drug delivery systems, i.e., liposomal NPs, polymeric NPs and nanocrystals, are of great interest in combinatorial therapy for a wide range of disorders due to targeted drug delivery, extended drug release, and higher drug stability to avoid rapid clearance at infected areas. This review summarizes various targets of diseases, preclinical or clinically approved drug combinations and the development of multifunctional NPs for combining therapy and emphasizes combinatorial therapeutic strategies based on drug delivery for treating severe clinical diseases. Ultimately, we discuss the challenging of developing NP-codelivery and translation and provide potential approaches to address the limitations. This review offers a comprehensive overview for recent cutting-edge and challenging in developing NP-mediated combination therapy for human diseases.

Abstract
AIMS The target of metabolic control (HbA1c < 7% or 53 mmol/mol) recommended by the ADA and ISPAD is attained by 30% of children with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). Advances in technologies for T1D aim to improve metabolic outcomes and reduce complications. This observational study assesses the long-term outcomes of advanced technologies for treatment of T1D compared to conventional approach started at onset in a group of very young children with T1D. METHODS 54 patients with less 4 years old at onset of T1D were enrolled and followed for up to 9 years after diagnosis. 24 subjects started continuous subcutaneous insulin (CSII) treatment and 30 subjects received MDI therapy from onset. Auxological data, HbA1c and total daily insulin dose (TDD/kg) have been collected at admission and every 4 months. HbA1cAUC>6%, rates of acute complications, glycemic variability indices and glucometrics were also recorded. RESULTS Patients with CSII therapy had significantly lower mean HbA1c values compared to subjects receiving MDI treatment. CSII approach also recorded lower mean HbA1cAUC>6% and TDD/kg than MDI therapy. At the last download data, the time in range (TIR) was higher in patients with CSII and hyperglycemia events were lower. Better glycemic variability indices have been described during CSII therapy, including mean glycemia, standard deviation, coefficient of variation (CV), glycemia risk index (GRI) and high blood glucose index (HBGI). There was no statistically significant difference between frequency of severe hypoglycemia and ketoacidosis episodes between groups. CONCLUSIONS Early initiation of diabetes technologies is safe and able to determine a better long term glycemic control in young children with T1D. It also allows to flatten the trajectory of HbA1c, probably reducing microvascular, macrovascular and neurological complications of diabetes in this very peculiar age group.

Titoria R, Fung A, Tang TS, Amed S. Systematic review of technology-mediated peer support interventions in paediatric type 1 diabetes care. Diabet Med 2023; 40:e15172. [PMID: 37428650 DOI: 10.1111/dme.15172] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2023] [Revised: 06/20/2023] [Accepted: 06/22/2023] [Indexed: 07/12/2023]
Abstract
AIMS There is increasing interest in the role of peer support in diabetes care. However, technology-mediated peer support in paediatric type 1 diabetes remains understudied.We aimed todescribe technology-mediated peer support interventions for children living with type 1 diabetes, their caregivers and healthcare providers. METHODS CINAHL, Embase and MEDLINE (Ovid) were searched from Jan 2007 to June 2022. We included randomised and non-randomised trials with peer support interventions for children living with diabetes, their caregivers and/or healthcare providers. Studies examining clinical, behavioural or psychosocial outcomes were included. Quality was assessed with the Cochrane risk of bias tool. RESULTS Twelve of 308 retrieved studies were included, with a study duration range of 3 weeks to 24 months and most were randomised trials (n = 8, 66.67%). Four technology-based interventions were identified: phone-based text messages, video, web portal and social media, or a hybrid peer support model. Most (58.6%, n = 7) studies exclusively targeted children with diabetes. No significant improvement was observed in psychosocial outcomes (quality of life, n = 4; stress and coping, n = 4; social support, n = 2). Mixed findings were observed in HbA1c (n = 7) and 28.5% studies (n = 2/7) reported reduced incidence of hypoglycaemia. CONCLUSIONS Technology-mediated peer support interventions may have the potential to improve diabetes care and outcomes. However, further well-designed studies are necessary that address the needs of diverse populations and settings, and the sustainability of intervention effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND People with type 1 diabetes and raised glucose levels are at greater risk of retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy, cardiovascular disease, sexual health problems and foot disease. The UK National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends continuous subcutaneous 'insulin pump' therapy for people with type 1 diabetes whose HbA1c is above 69 mmol/mol. Insulin pump use can improve quality of life, cut cardiovascular risk and increase treatment satisfaction. About 90,000 people in England and Wales meet NICE criteria for insulin pumps but do not use one. Insulin pump use also varies markedly by deprivation, ethnicity, sex and location. Increasing insulin pump use is a key improvement priority. Audit and feedback is a common but variably effective intervention. Limited capabilities of healthcare providers to mount effective responses to feedback from national audits, such as the National Diabetes Audit (NDA), undermines efforts to improve care. We have co-developed a theoretically and empirically informed quality improvement collaborative (QIC) to strengthen local responses to feedback with patients and carers, national audits and healthcare providers. We will evaluate whether the QIC improves the uptake of insulin pumps following NDA feedback. METHODS We will undertake an efficient cluster randomised trial using routine data. The QIC will be delivered alongside the NDA to specialist diabetes teams in England and Wales. Our primary outcome will be the proportion of people with type 1 diabetes and an HbA1c above 69 mmol/mol who start and continue insulin pump use during the 18-month intervention period. Secondary outcomes will assess change in glucose control and duration of pump use. Subgroup analyses will explore impacts upon inequalities by ethnicity, sex, age and deprivation. A theory-informed process evaluation will explore diabetes specialist teams' engagement, implementation, fidelity and tailoring through observations, interviews, surveys and documentary analysis. An economic evaluation will micro-cost the QIC, estimate cost-effectiveness of NDA feedback with QIC and estimate the budget impact of NHS-wide QIC roll out. DISCUSSION Our study responds to a need for more head-to-head trials of different ways of reinforcing feedback delivery. Our findings will have implications for other large-scale audit and feedback programmes. TRIAL REGISTRATION ISRCTN82176651 Registered 18 October 2022.

Abstract
This meta-analysis compares the efficacy and safety of Closed-Loop Control (CLC) to Sensor-Augmented Insulin Pump (SAP) for adolescent patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM). Eleven randomized-controlled trials were included with a total of 570 patients, from a total of 869 articles found adhering to PRISMA guidelines. The efficacy of the therapies were evaluated from the day, night and during physical activities monitoring of the of the mean blood glucose (BG), Time In Range (TIR), and Standard Deviation (SD) of the glucose variability. The safety measure of the therapies, was assessed from the day and night recording of the hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic events occurred. Pooled results of comparison of mean BG values for day, night and physical activities, - 4.33 [- 6.70, - 1.96] (P = 0.0003), - 16.61 [- 31.68, - 1.54] (P = 0.03) and - 8.27 [- 19.52, 2.99] (P = 0.15). The monitoring for day, night and physical activities for TIR - 13.18 [- 19.18, - 7.17] (P < 0.0001), - 15.36 [- 26.81, - 3.92] (P = 0.009) and - 7.39 [- 17.65, 2.87] (P = 0.16). The day and night results of SD of glucose variability was - 0.40 [- 0.79, - 0.00] (P = 0.05) and - 0.86 [- 2.67, 0.95] (P = 0.35). These values shows the superiority of CLC system in terms of efficacy. The safety evaluation, of the day, night and physical activities observations of average blood glucose goal hypoglycemic events - 0.54 [- 1.86, 0.79] (P = 0.43), 0.04 [- 0.20, 0.27] (P = 0.77) and 0.00 [- 0.25, 0.25] (P = 1.00) and hyperglycemic events - 0.04 [- 0.20, 0.27] (P = 0.77), - 7.11 [- 12.77, - 1.45] (P = 0.01) and - 0.00 [- 0.10, 0.10] (P = 0.97), highlights the commendable safety factor of CLC. The CLC systems can be considered as an ideal preference in the management of adolescents with type 1 diabetes to be used during a 24 h basis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The introduction of CSII in clinical care has led to more optimal glycemic and quality of life outcomes, compared with MDI. Despite this, some insulin pump users revert back to MDI. The aim of this review was to include the most recent rates of insulin pump discontinuation among people with type 1 diabetes and to identify reasons for and factors associated with discontinuation. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic literature search was conducted using the Embase.com, MEDLINE (via OVID), PsycINFO and CINAHL databases. Titles and abstracts of eligible publications were screened and baseline characteristics of the included studies were extracted, as were variables in the context of insulin pump. Data were synthesized into themes: indications for insulin pump initiation, PWD-reported reasons for and factors associated with insulin pump discontinuation. RESULTS A total of 826 eligible publications were identified and 67 were included. Discontinuation percentages ranged from 0% to 30% (median 7%). The most frequently mentioned reasons for discontinuing were wear-related issues (e.g. device attached to the body, interference with daily activities, discomfort, affected body image). Related factors included HbA1c (17%), issues with following treatment recommendations (14%), age (11%), gender (9%), side-effects (7%), comorbidity- and complication-related factors (6%). CONCLUSIONS Despite many developments in technology insulin pump, discontinuation rates and PWD-reported reasons for and factors associated with insulin pump discontinuation in more recent studies were not that different from earlier reviews/meta-analyses. Successful insulin pump treatment depends on a knowledgeable and willing HCP team and a close match with PWDs wishes and needs.

Abstract
QUESTION Several children with diabetes in our clinic use continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion therapy. Recently a 5-year-old presented with a dysfunctional pump, and it took 2 days to identify the problem and resolve it. What are the potential pitfalls of insulin pumps in children and how can these be prevented? ANSWER The use of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion pumps has increased considerably during the past decade. Adverse events can range from mild events that can be resolved by troubleshooting at home, to severe incidents that necessitate admission to the hospital. Adverse events include technical issues, skin complications that can lead to infection, and metabolic imbalances that can lead to hospitalization. Long-term monitoring and targeted education are needed for children and their families to ensure early identification of problems with the pump and to avoid diabetic ketoacidosis or hypoglycemia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Poor glycemic control in type 1 diabetes increases the risk of chronic complications and it is essential to identify life periods and predictors associated with deteriorating HbA1c . The aim was to describe specific HbA1c trajectories in Danish children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes and study associations with clinical and sociodemographic factors. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS 5889 children with type 1 diabetes were included from the nationwide Danish Registry of Childhood and Adolescent Diabetes with annual visits during 1996-2019. Trajectories of HbA1c were modeled with linear mixed-effects models (using age as time scale, included as cubic spline) and with an individual-specific random intercept and slope. The following cofactors were included stepwise into the model: sex, age at diagnosis, calendar year, parental education, immigrant status, health care region, blood glucose monitoring (BGM) frequency, treatment modalities: continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (pump) versus multiple daily insulin injection therapy (pen) and continuous glucose monitoring. RESULTS HbA1c overall increased during age while there was a significant decreasing secular trend. Older age at diagnosis was associated with a steeper trajectory, and non-Danish origin and shorter parental education were each associated with higher levels of HbA1c across age. A lower BGM frequency was associated with a markedly poorer HbA1c trajectory, while no significant differences were shown for different treatment modalities. CONCLUSIONS Glycemic outcome worsened with age during childhood and adolescence, which is of clinical concern. Important predictors for a poorer glycemic trajectory were later age at diabetes diagnosis, shorter parental education, non-Danish origin and, in particular low BGM frequency.

Abstract
PURPOSE The persistent requirement of self-management for diabetes impacts quality of life (QoL), yet the literature for impact of diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) on QoL in youth has not been synthesized and reported. The purpose of this review was to systematically identify and describe the state of the science exploring the impact of DSMES on self-reported QoL in youth with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) or type 2 diabetes (T2DM). METHODS A modified Cochrane review was conducted. Retained studies were published in the English language between January 1, 2007, and March 31, 2020. Included studies specified that the intervention had diabetes education addressing at least 1 or more of The Association of Diabetes Care & Education Specialists' ADCES7 Self-Care BehaviorsTM (ADCES7™) and used an established self-reported QoL measure. Retained studies were assessed for risk of bias. RESULTS Eleven studies reported in 12 articles were retained. The interventions were primarily delivered to youth with T1DM or T2DM and included caregivers/families in some studies. The ADCES7™ were addressed across the retained studies. Five of the 11 studies assessed QoL as the primary outcome and 6 studies as a secondary outcome. CONCLUSION To enhance the QoL outcomes and to provide insight into how to positively impact self-perceptions of QoL, ongoing generic and diabetes-specific QoL assessments are warranted for youth with T1DM or T2DM. Further research is needed in structured DSMES programs to help reduce variability in research designs, methods, measures, and outcomes to generate evidence for best practices that can be translated and disseminated into real-world settings.

Abstract
The approximation of euglycemia is the most effective means of preventing diabetic complications, which is achieved through effective insulin delivery. Recent reports indicate that insulin phenolic preservatives, which are found in all commercial insulin formulations, are cytotoxic, pro-inflammatory and induce secondary fibrosis. Therefore, we hypothesize that these preservatives induce an inflammatory response at the site of insulin infusion leading to diminished glycemic control and adverse pharmacokinetic outcomes. Insulin degradation by inflammatory cell proteases was quantitated following protease treatment in vitro. A modified murine air pouch model was utilized to evaluate the relative inflammatory responses following infusions of saline, insulin preservatives, and insulin, utilizing the adjuvant irritant thioglycolate. Blood glucose levels were monitored in diabetic mice with and without air pouch irritation. A pharmacokinetic analysis evaluated insulin effectiveness for diabetic mice between these two conditions. Inflammatory cells are significantly present in insulin preservative-induced inflammation, which effects diminished blood glucose control by both insulin uptake and degradation. Insulin containing these preservatives resulted in similar degrees of inflammation as observed with the irritant thioglycolate. These studies imply that the preservative agents found in commercial insulin formulations induce an intense localized inflammatory reaction. This inflammatory reaction may be responsible for the premature failure of insulin infusion devices. Future studies directed at reducing this inflammatory reaction may prove to be an important step in extending the lifespan of insulin infusion devices.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Diabetes mellitus is the most common endocrine disorder in children, and the prevalence of paediatric type 1 and type 2 diabetes continue to rise globally. Diabetes clinical care programs pivoted to virtual care with the COVID-19 pandemic-driven social distancing measures. Yet, the impact of virtual care on health-related quality of life in children living with diabetes remains unclear. This protocol reports on the methods that will be implemented to conduct a systematic review to assess the health-related quality of life and metabolic health impacts of virtual diabetes care. METHODS AND ANALYSIS We will search MEDLINE, Embase, EMCare, PsycInfo, Web of Science, and the grey literature for eligible studies. We will screen title, abstract, and full-text papers for potential inclusion and assess the risk of bias and the overall confidence in the evidence using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach. A meta-analysis will be conducted if two studies report similar populations, study designs, methods, and outcomes.This systematic review will summarise the health-related quality of life outcomes for virtual diabetes care delivery models. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION No ethics approval is required for this systematic review protocol as it does not include patient data. The systematic review will be published in a peer-reviewed journal and presented at international conferences. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42021235646.

Abstract
This article describes a cross-sectional study involving 401 adults with type 1 diabetes treated with insulin glargine in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Health-related quality of life was assessed, and worse scores were found to be associated with a low level of education, self-perceived health reported as poor/very poor, being bedridden and not physically exercised, having seen a doctor more than four times in the past year, and having reported comorbidities and episodes of hypoglycemia.

Relation of Health-Related Quality of Life with Glycemic Control and Use of Diabetes Technology in Children and Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes: Results from a National Population Based Study. J Diabetes Res 2022; 2022:8401328. [PMID: 36387938 PMCID: PMC9649325 DOI: 10.1155/2022/8401328] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2022] [Accepted: 10/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The primary aim was to analyse the association between diabetes-specific health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and HbA1c in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. The secondary aims were to evaluate the associations between diabetes-specific HRQOL and age, sex, diabetes duration, and the use of diabetes technology in diabetes treatment. Research Design and Methods. Children with type 1 diabetes (10-17 years, N = 1,019) and parents (children <10 years, N = 371; 10-17 years, N = 1,070) completed the DISABKIDS diabetes-specific questionnaire (DDM-10) as part of the 2017 data collection for the Norwegian Childhood Diabetes Registry. The DDM-10 consists of two subscales-'impact' and 'treatment'-with six and four items, respectively. In the linear regression models, the items and subscales were outcome variables, while HbA1c, age, sex, diabetes duration, insulin pump use, and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system use were predictor variables. RESULTS Lower HbA1c measurements and male sex were associated with higher HRQOL scores on both DDM-10 scales in the age group 10-17 years, but not in children under 10 years. Parents gave lower HRQOL scores than children in the 10-17 age group. Insulin pump and CGM use were not significantly associated with HRQOL on the impact and treatment scale. CONCLUSIONS Low HbA1c and male sex are significantly associated with high HRQOL in children aged 10-17 with type 1 diabetes, but the use of diabetes technology is not positively associated with HRQOL. Differences in child- and parent-reported scores imply that parents might both over- and underestimate their child's HRQOL.

Abstract
The possibilities and implementation of wearable cardiac monitoring beyond atrial fibrillation are increasing continuously. This review focuses on the real-world use and evolution of these devices for other arrhythmias, cardiovascular diseases and some of their risk factors beyond atrial fibrillation. The management of nonatrial fibrillation arrhythmias represents a broad field of wearable technologies in cardiology using Holter, event recorder, electrocardiogram (ECG) patches, wristbands and textiles. Implementation in other patient cohorts, such as ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), heart failure or sleep apnea, is feasible and expanding. In addition to appropriate accuracy, clinical studies must address the validation of clinical pathways including the appropriate device and clinical decisions resulting from the surrogate assessed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To study the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in pediatric onset Type 1 diabetes mellitus (TIDM) in the state of Kerala in India. METHODS Diabetes specific HRQoL was determined in 107 subjects with onset of T1DM less than 21 years using the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) 3.2 questionnaire of which 69 also completed the PedsQL 4.0 generic questionnaire. The parents of these patients completed the proxy scoring questionnaire. The generic HRQoL of T1DM was compared with control population without diabetes. RESULTS Mean age of onset of T1DM was 8.2 ± 4.6 years and mean duration was 8.2 ± 5.6 years. The median HbA1c was 8.7% (72 mmol/mol). Microvascular complications were present in 14.9% of the patients. The generic HRQoL was lower in patients with T1DM compared to peers without diabetes (77.43 vs. 87.45; p < 0.001). Parents reported lower scores in diabetes management, treatment barriers, physical functioning and generic scales compared to patients. Parents reported greater worry about the disease with lesser age of onset of diabetes and with presence of complications. Those using insulin vials and on splitmix regimen had lower HRQoL compared to those using insulin pens. The patients belonging to lower socioeconomic status (SES) reported lower diabetes scores (73.7 vs. 58.7; p = 0.015). CONCLUSIONS The generic HRQoL was lower in children with T1DM compared to peers without diabetes. Parents and children had different perception about HRQoL in many aspects. The diabetes specific scores were lower in those belonging to lower SES.

Effectiveness and equity of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusions in pediatric type 1 diabetes: A systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature. Diabetes Res Clin Pract 2021; 172:108643. [PMID: 33359572 DOI: 10.1016/j.diabres.2020.108643] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2020] [Revised: 12/03/2020] [Accepted: 12/18/2020] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
AIMS We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCT) and non-randomized studies (NRS) to assess the effectiveness and equity of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusions (CSII) versus multiple-daily injections (MDI) on glycemic outcomes. METHODS Searches were conducted between 2000 and 2019 in MEDLINE, CENTRAL, EMBASE and HTA. Included studies compared the CSII vs MDI in children and young people (CYP) ≤ 20 years with type 1 diabetes. Two independent reviewers screened the articles, extracted the data, assessed the risk of bias, evaluated the quality of evidence, and identified equity data. Results were pooled with a random-effects model. RESULTS Of the 578 articles screened, 16 RCT (545 CYP on CSII) and 70 NRS (73253 on CSII) were included in the meta-analysis. There was moderate-level evidence that the CSII lower HbA1c in RCT (pooled mean difference [MD]: -0.22%; 95% confidence interval [CI]: -0.33, -0.11%; I2:34%) and insufficient in NRS (pooled MD: -0.45%; 95%CI: -0.52, -0.38%; I2:99%). The pooled incidence rate ratio of severe hypoglycemia on CSII vs MDI in RCT was 0.87 (95%CI: 0.55, 1.37; I2:0%; low-level evidence), and 0.71 (95%CI: 0.63, 0.81; I2:57%, insufficient evidence) in NRS. Health-related quality of life presented insufficient evidence. Equity data were scarcely reported. CONCLUSIONS CSII modestly lower HbA1c when compared with MDI. Current literature does not provide adequate data on other glycemic outcomes. Future assessment on diabetes technology should include individual and area-level socioeconomic data. The study protocol was pre-registered in PROSPERO (CRD42018116474).

Abstract
AIMS The MiniMed 670 G insulin pump system is the first commercially available hybrid closed-loop (HCL) insulin delivery system and clinical studies have shown that this device is associated with incremental benefits in glycemic control relative to continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) with or without continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). The aim was to evaluate the long-term cost-effectiveness of the MiniMed 670 G system versus CSII alone in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in the UK. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cost-effectiveness analysis was performed using the IQVIA CORE Diabetes Model. Clinical input data were sourced from a clinical trial of the MiniMed 670 G system in 124 adults and adolescents with T1D. The analysis was performed over a lifetime time horizon and both future costs and clinical outcomes were discounted at 3.5% per annum. The analysis was performed from a healthcare payer perspective. RESULTS The use of the MiniMed 670 G system led to an improvement in quality-adjusted life expectancy of 1.73 quality-adjusted life years (QALYs), relative to CSII. Total lifetime direct costs were GBP 35,425 higher with the MiniMed 670 G system than with CSII resulting in an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of GBP 20,421 per QALY gained. Sensitivity analyses revealed that the ICER was sensitive to assumptions around glycemic control and assumptions relating to the quality-of-life benefit associated with a reduction in fear of hypoglycemia. LIMITATIONS Long-term projections from short-term data are inherently associated with uncertainty but represent arguably the best available evidence in lieu of long-term clinical trials. CONCLUSIONS In the UK, over patient lifetimes, the incremental clinical benefits associated with the use of MiniMed 670 G system means that it is likely to be cost-effective relative to the continued use of CSII in people with T1D, particularly for those with a fear of hypoglycemia or poor baseline glycemic control.

Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to describe and compare health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among populations with normal glycemic levels, prediabetes, and diabetes in southwest China and to offer baseline data that can be easily compared to other regions in China or across countries. Methods: A quality of life survey based on the EuroQoL-5 Dimension-5 level (EQ-5D-5L) scale was conducted through face-to-face or telephone interviews. A total of 403 respondents with diabetes, 404 with prediabetes, and 398 with normal blood glucose were enrolled in the survey. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to decrease the bias of three groups, conditioned on age and gender, body mass index (BMI), and household income. For the three groups, we matched two groups first and then matched the result with the third group. Differences among groups were compared by chi-square test one-way ANOVA after adjusting by PSM. Results: In general, the blood glucose of people with diabetes was generally well-controlled in southwest China, but they were often accompanied by the circulatory system and nutritional metabolic diseases. Ninety-nine individuals from each group were matched. The EuroQoL-5 Dimension index of the population with normal glycemic levels, prediabetes, and patients with diabetes was 0.901, 0.948, and 0.897. The EuroQol-visual analog scales (EQ-VAS) scores of each group above were 73.76, 77.45, and 68.34. HRQoL in males was higher than that of females in the three study groups. The results after PSM were consistent with that before matching. Conclusion: There was a general trend that patients were associated with a decline of HRQoL from the prediabetic population, population with normal glycemic levels to diabetic population. Pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression might not be specific for the population with or without diabetes.

Early versus delayed insulin pump therapy in children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes: results from the multicentre, prospective diabetes follow-up DPV registry. THE LANCET CHILD & ADOLESCENT HEALTH 2020; 5:17-25. [PMID: 33253630 DOI: 10.1016/s2352-4642(20)30339-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2020] [Revised: 10/01/2020] [Accepted: 10/07/2020] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion therapy (ie, insulin pump therapy) is associated with improved metabolic control compared with multiple daily insulin injections in children with type 1 diabetes, it is unclear when it is best to start it after diagnosis. In this study, we aimed to compare the outcomes between early and delayed start of insulin pump therapy in young patients with type 1 diabetes. METHODS We based the current study on data from the multicentre, prospective diabetes follow-up registry (ie, Diabetes-Patienten-Verlaufsdokumentation [DPV]). The DPV registry comprises 501 diabetes centres from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Luxembourg. We included patients diagnosed with type 1 diabetes between 2004 and 2014, who were aged between 6 months and 15 years at the time of diagnosis, who had started insulin pump therapy either within the first 6 months (ie, the early treatment group) or in the second to third year (ie, the delayed treatment group) after diabetes diagnosis, and who were treated with insulin pump therapy for at least 1 year. The outcome parameters included the glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) values, the cardiovascular risk profile, and rates of acute complications and diabetes-associated hospital admissions (ie, hospitalisation) during the most recent documented treatment year with insulin pump therapy. Statistical models were adjusted for age at diabetes diagnosis, year of diagnosis, sex, immigrant background, use of continuous glucose monitoring, centre size, and the German Index of Socioeconomic Deprivation 2012 terciles. FINDINGS Our study sample comprised 8332 patients from 311 diabetes centres in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Luxembourg. The early treatment group consisted of 4004 (48·1%) of 8332 patients, and the delayed treatment group consisted of 4328 (51·9%). The median diabetes duration during follow-up was 6·7 years (IQR 5·1-8·7 in the early group; 5·0-8·7 in the delayed group) in both groups. Patients with early initiation of insulin pump therapy compared with those with delayed initiation of insulin pump therapy had significantly lower estimated mean HbA1c values (7·9% [95% CI 7·8-7·9] and 62·6 mmol/mol [95% CI 62·1-63·2] vs 8·0% [8·0-8·1] and 64·1 mmol/mol [63·6-64·6]; p=0·0006), and lower rates of hypoglycaemic coma (incidence risk ratio 0·44 [95% CI 0·24-0·79]; p=0·0064) and hospitalisation (0·86 [95% CI 0·78-0·94]; p=0·0016). A better cardiovascular risk profile was observed in patients with early initiation of insulin pump therapy than in those with delayed initiation: an estimated mean systolic blood pressure of 117·6 mm Hg (95% CI 117·2-117·9) versus 118·5 mm Hg (118·2-118·9), p=0·0007; and HDL cholesterol of 62·8 mg/dL (95% CI 62·2-63·5) versus 60·6 mg/dL (60·0-61·2), p<0·0001; however, diastolic blood pressure; concentrations of LDL cholesterol, non-HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides; and estimated body-mass index standard deviation scores during follow-up did not differ significantly between both groups. INTERPRETATION Our findings provide evidence for improved clinical outcomes associated with the early initiation of insulin pump therapy in children with type 1 diabetes.

Insulin Pump Therapy Improves Quality of Life of Young Patients With Type 1 Diabetes Enrolled in a Government-Funded Insulin Pump Program: A Qualitative Study. Can J Diabetes 2020; 45:395-402.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Nova Scotia Insulin Pump Program (NSIPP) subsidizes the cost of insulin pump therapy for young patients (≤25 years) with type 1 diabetes. The first NSIPP evaluation focused on clinical outcomes rather than quality of life. Existing research on insulin pumps and quality of life is mostly survey based, with limited first-voice experiences. In this qualitative study, we examined patient and parent perspectives on how insulin pumps affect quality of life in the context of a government-funded program. METHODS In this investigation, we used a phenomenological approach, guided by a conceptual model. In-depth semistructured telephone interviews (median, 37 minutes) were completed with NSIPP enrollees and/or their parents. Saturation was reached after 23 interviews. Verbatim transcripts were coded independently by 2 researchers. Coding discrepancies were discussed and resolved using concept mapping to clarify relationships between codes and to identify main themes. RESULTS There were 2 main themes: 1) NSIPP financial support was necessary for those without private insurance and 2) control over life and diabetes with subthemes of social experiences and worry. Participants expressed this theme differently depending on their stage of life. For example, some children experienced shame and even hid their pump, whereas teens were more self-confident with the discreetness of pumps and young adults wore their pump with pride. CONCLUSIONS Insulin pump therapy, subsidized through the NSIPP, led to improved quality of life, which was experienced differently depending on stage of life.

SUBJECTS AND METHODS One hundred and twenty-five patients (12.4 ± 3.55 years, males 53.6%) with T1D and their parents (102 mothers, 37 fathers) were enrolled and categorized into: group A (both foreign parents) and group B (both native Italian parents). The Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory™ 3.0 Diabetes Module (PedsQL™ 3.0 DM) was used to evaluate the D-HRQOL. Data on diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) at T1D onset, insulin therapy, and glycosylate hemoglobin (HbA1c) were also collected. RESULTS Group A (n = 40), compared to group B (n = 85), had higher frequency of DKA at T1D onset (P < .001) and a lower use of sensor augmented insulin pump (P = .015). HbA1c values were higher in group A than in group B (P < .001). Patients' "Diabetes symptoms" (P = .004), "Treatment barriers" (P = .001), and "Worry" (P = .009) scales scores were lower in group A than in group B. Mothers of group A had lower scores in "Diabetes symptoms" (P = .030), "Treatment barriers" (P < .001), "Treatment adherence" (P = .018), "Communication" (P = .009) scales, and total score (P = .011) compared to the group B ones. High PedsQL™ 3.0 DM was significantly associated with being Italian, being prepubertal, and having lower HbA1c mean levels. CONCLUSIONS Being a migrant confers disadvantages in terms of D-HRQOL and metabolic control in children and adolescents with T1D. Specific educational interventions should be considered in the clinical care of patients with migration background, to improve D-HRQOL and health status.

Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria and Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus-Does Quality of Life Impairment Always Reflect Health Danger? J Clin Med 2020; 9:jcm9082505. [PMID: 32759745 PMCID: PMC7465008 DOI: 10.3390/jcm9082505] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2020] [Revised: 07/16/2020] [Accepted: 07/30/2020] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and diabetes mellitus type 1 (T1DM) may compromise the quality of life (QoL). We decided to compare the QoL of T1DM patients to those suffering from CSU. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-six patients with well-controlled T1DM (male 52%) in the mean age of (SD) 36.3 (11.09) years and 51 patients with CSU (male 33%) in the mean age of (SD) 35.8 (8.53) years were enrolled in this observational study. All the participants completed a Short-Form 36 (SF-36) QoL. RESULTS The QoL related to social functioning was significantly worse among CSU patients. There were differences related to gender found in the group of patients with T1DM-where men tended to declare a better quality of life than women (p = 0.015)-especially in the area of energy/fatigue and pain. It appeared that due to physical and emotional problems occurring in married patients, the QoL is lower in T1DM group in comparison to the CSU one. CONCLUSIONS The patients with CSU presented significantly worse social functioning compared to the ones with T1DM. This fact proves the QoL impairment level is not always related to the level of health danger. The differences in the QoL related to gender and marital status found among T1DM patients point to the necessity for further exploration in a larger group of patients. Due to the fact that optimal disease management should ensure patient's good emotional well-being, there is a need for additional psychological and social care for patients from those two groups.

Development and Validation of the Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion-Related Quality-of-Life (CSII-QOL) Scale. Diabetes Technol Ther 2020; 22:216-221. [PMID: 31638420 DOI: 10.1089/dia.2019.0216] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
Background: Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) is associated with improved glycemic control, a reduced incidence of hypoglycemia, and improved quality of life (QOL). To date, however, there has been no QOL scale specific to CSII. The objective of this study was to develop and validate a scale to measure CSII-QOL for people with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Methods: A total of 50 people with T1D aged ≥15 years who used CSII (28% males; age, 47.6 ± 17.0 years; duration of diabetes, 14.7 ± 9.7 years; duration of CSII use, 6.1 ± 3.3 years; HbA1c, 7.4% ± 0.8%) took part in the CSII-QOL study. Twenty-eight potential CSII-QOL items were developed in a combined approach consisting of semistructured patient interviews, expert input, and a literature search. The resulting CSII-QOL was tested for factor analysis, validity, reliability, and influencing factors. Results: The final 25-item questionnaire had a 3-domain structure ("convenience," "social restriction," and "psychological problems"), high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.870), and substantial test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.65). The CSII-QOL score was correlated negatively with the Problem Areas in Diabetes score. Conclusion: The CSII-QOL is the first CSII-related QOL scale for people with T1D. This short, validated, and reliable instrument might potentially be useful in future clinical studies and routine clinical patient care. Further validation is required to confirm these issues because of the small and potentially biased sample (UMIN-CTR: UMIN000031595).
