Abstract
INTRODUCTION The study aimed to compare glycemic control and pregnancy outcomes in women with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) using multiple daily injection therapy (MDI) and continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) and to compare outcomes of women treated with long-acting insulin or neutral protamine Hagedorn (NPH). METHODS This multicenter prospective cohort study involved women with pregestational T1DM treated with MDI and CSII. Primary outcome was glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) before and during pregnancy. Secondary outcomes included maternal and neonatal outcomes and quality of life. RESULTS Of the 121 studied women, the average age was 28.48 years, and the average body mass index was 21.29 kg/m2 at conception and 26.32 kg/m2 at delivery. Of the studied women, 78.51% had planned pregnancy. Women treated with MDI and CSII had comparable HbA1c before pregnancy or in the first and second trimesters. In the third trimester, women on CSII therapy had significantly lower HbA1c (6.07 ± 0.62 vs 6.20 ± 0.88%, p = .017), higher HbA1c on-target rate (71.43% vs 64.62%, p = .030), and greater decline of HbA1c from preconception to the third trimester (-0.65 vs -0.30%, p = .047). Fewer daily insulin requirements were observed in those used CSII compared with MDI-treated women (0.60 ± 0.22 vs 0.73 ± 0.25 U/kg/day, p = .004). Newborns born of mothers treated with the CSII method were more likely to have neonatal jaundice (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 2.76, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.16-6.57) and neonatal intensive care unit (adjusted OR 3.73, 95%CI 1.24-11.16), and women on CSII had lower scores in patient-reported quality of life (p = .045). In the MDI group, those receiving long-acting insulin had nonsignificant lower HbA1c and higher HbA1c on-target rate in the second and third trimesters, compared with those treated with NPH. CONCLUSIONS Insulin pump users may achieve better glycemic control than multiple daily insulin injections, which did not substantially improve pregnancy outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We investigated the potential benefits of automated insulin delivery (AID) among individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in sub-populations of baseline device use determined by continuous glucose monitor (CGM) use status and insulin delivery via multiple daily injections (MDI) or insulin pump. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a six-month randomized, multicenter trial, 168 individuals were assigned to closed-loop control (CLC, Control-IQ, Tandem Diabetes Care), or sensor-augmented pump (SAP) therapy. The trial included a two- to eight-week run-in phase to train participants on study devices. The participants were stratified into four subgroups: insulin pump and CGM (pump+CGM), pump-only, MDI and CGM (MDI+CGM), and MDI users without CGM (MDI-only) users. We compared glycemic outcomes among four subgroups. RESULTS At baseline, 61% were pump+CGM users, 18% pump-only users, 10% MDI+CGM users, and 11% MDI-only users. Mean time in range 70-180 mg/dL (TIR) improved from baseline in the four subgroups using CLC: pump+CGM, 62% to 73%; pump-only, 61% to 70%; MDI+CGM, 54% to 68%; and MDI-only, 61% to 69%. The reduction in time below 70 mg/dL from baseline was comparable among the four subgroups. No interaction effect was detected with baseline device use for TIR (P = .67) or time below (P = .77). On the System Usability Questionnaire, scores were high at 26 weeks for all subgroups: pump+CGM: 87.2 ± 12.1, pump-only: 89.4 ± 8.2, MDI+CGM 87.2 ± 9.3, MDI: 78.1 ± 15. CONCLUSIONS There was a consistent benefit in patients with T1D when using CLC, regardless of baseline insulin delivery modality or CGM use. These data suggest that this CLC system can be considered across a wide range of patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited studies have compared outcomes between emerging adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) attending a diabetes transition support programme using multiple daily injections (MDI) or continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII). AIMS To assess glycaemic control and service utilisation in emerging adults with T1D on MDI or CSII attending a young adult diabetes clinic (YAC). METHODS A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted from January 2013 to December 2015. Data collected included clinic visits per year, after-hours mobile telephone use, diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) admissions and all HbA1c levels. Independent t-test was used to compare continuous variables whilst Pearson's Chi-squared test was used for categorical variables. Linear mixed effects models explored mean changes in HbA1c levels over time. RESULTS Over 3 years, 318 youth with T1D (176 MDI, 121 CSII, 21 switched from MDI to CSII) attended our YAC. Aggregated mean HbA1c levels remained similar between modalities (CSII 9.1% vs MDI 9.3%; P = 0.23); however, mean change in HbA1c at 3 years was significantly increased in CSII users at 0.55% (95% CI 0.15-0.95; P < 0.01) compared with no significant change in MDI users. Clinic visits per year were improved in CSII users (CSII 2.8 vs MDI 2.5; P = 0.02), while DKA admissions remained similar between MDI and CSII users (3.6 admissions per 100 patient-years). CONCLUSION In our YAC cohort, glycaemic control in CSII and MDI users was similar but well below recommended international glycaemic targets (HbA1c level < 7.0%). Despite increased clinical engagement occurring in CSII users, glycaemic deterioration was observed over the 3 years.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Estimation of insulin sensitivity factor (ISF) is essential for correction insulin doses calculation. This study aimed to assess real-life ISF among children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes using ultra-long-acting basal insulin analogs and to detect factors associated with ISF among those patients. METHODS This prospective observational study was conducted at Sohag University Hospital, Egypt, and included 93 participants aged 6-18 years, diagnosed with T1DM for at least 1 year and using insulin glargine 300 Units/mL or insulin degludec 100 Units/mL as basal insulin. The ISF, insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio (ICR) and insulin doses were initially assessed then adjusted as required. The participants were regularly contacted throughout the follow-up period. Glycemic control parameters were assessed after 3 months. RESULTS The ISF showed diurnal variation with higher correction dose requirements for the morning than for the rest of the day (p < 0.001). This pattern of diurnal variation was found in participants with different pubertal stages and in participants using either type of ultra-long acting basal insulin analogs. There was no significant difference between the ISF calculated according to the 1800 rule [1800/Total daily insulin dose (TDD)] and the morning ISF (p = 0.25). The 1800 rule-calculated ISF was significantly lower than the actual ISF for the afternoon (p < 0.001) and the evening (p < 0.001). ISF at different times of the day were significantly correlated with age, body mass index, pubertal stage, diabetes duration, TDD, and ICR. Multiple regression analysis revealed that ICR was the most significant factor associated with ISF. Linear regression analysis revealed that the ISF (in mg/dL) for any time of the day could be estimated as 5.14 × ICR for the same time of the day (coefficient = 5.14, 95% confidence interval: 5.10-5.19, R 2 = 0.95, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Diurnal variation of ISF that had to be considered for proper calculation of correction doses. This diurnal variation was found in children and adolescents with different pubertal stages. The 1800 rule was appropriate for the morning correction doses but not in the afternoon or the evening. The TDD and the ICR could be used for ISF estimation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare metabolic control measured as hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), the risk of severe hypoglycemia, and body composition measured as body mass index standard deviation scores (BMI-SDS) in a nationwide sample of children and adolescents with Type 1 diabetes with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) and multiple daily injections (MDI), respectively. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Longitudinal data from 2011 to 2016 were extracted from the Swedish National Quality Register (SWEDIABKIDS) with both cross-sectional (6 years) and longitudinal (4 years) comparisons. Main end points were changes in HbA1c, BMI-SDS, and incidence of severe hypoglycemia. RESULTS Data were available from 35,624 patient-years (54% boys). In general, HbA1c decreased approximately 0.5% (2-5 mmol/mol) from 2011 to 2016 (ptrend < 0.001) and the use of CSII increased in both sexes and all age groups. Mean HbA1c was 0.1% (0.7-1.5 mmol/mol) lower in the CSII treated group. Teenagers, especially girls, using CSII tended to have higher BMI-SDS. There was no difference in the number of hypoglycemias between CSII and MDI over the years 2011-2016. CONCLUSIONS There was a small decrease in HbA1c with CSII treatment but of little clinical relevance. Overall, mean HbA1c decreased in both sexes and all age groups without increasing the episodes of severe hypoglycemia, indicating that other factors than insulin method contributed to a better metabolic control.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the clinical effect of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSⅡ) versus multiple daily injection (MDI) on blood glucose control in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed on the medical data of 91 children with T1DM who were treated with CSⅡ for more than 1 year and 75 children with T1DM who were treated with MDI. The two groups were compared in terms of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C) and the recurrence of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) to evaluate the difference in the efficacy during the 3-year follow-up. A survey was conducted for the children in the CSⅡ group and their family members to investigate the degree of satisfaction with insulin pump. RESULTS There was no significant difference in age, sex, and course of diabetes between the CSⅡ and MDI groups at disease onset and in the first year, the second year, and the third year of follow-up (P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in the HbA1C level between the two groups at disease onset (P > 0.05), but in the first year of follow-up, the CSⅡ group had a significantly lower HbA1C level than the MDI group (P=0.04). There was no significant difference in the HbA1C level between the two groups in the second year and the third year of follow-up (P > 0.05). The CSⅡ group had a higher proportion of children with HbA1C < 7.5% than the MDI group in the first year, the second year, and the third year of follow-up (P > 0.05). Within the 3 years of follow-up, 2 children in the CSⅡ group and 8 in the MDI group experienced the recurrence of DKA. In the third year of follow-up, there was no significant difference in blood pressure and blood lipids between the CSⅡ and MDI groups (P > 0.05). Most children and their family members (87%) were satisfied with CSⅡ treatment. CONCLUSIONS Children with T1DM treated with CSⅡ have a better control of blood glucose than those treated with MDI, and children and their family members are satisfied with CSⅡ treatment. Therefore, it holds promise for clinical application.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate if the positive effects recorded on glycaemic control with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) were maintained on the long-term compared with multiple daily injection (MDI). The secondary objective was to evaluate if there is a reduction of type and number of cardiovascular events (CV). METHODS This retrospective, observational study evaluated glycaemic control and the number of CV in 104 patients with type 1 or 2 diabetes previously treated with MDI and initiating CSII therapy with tubed insulin pumps compared with 109 patients previously treated with MDI continuing MDI. RESULTS After 8 years, the glycaemic control including glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c ), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and prandial plasma glucose (PPG) improved with both CSII and MDI compared with baseline; however, HbA1c , FPG, and PPG recorded with CSII were lower than data recorded with MDI. During the 8 years, there were fewer CV events with CSII, compared with MDI, and in particular, there were fewer cases of atrial fibrillation, premature ventricular contractions, acute coronary infarction, angina pectoris, heart failure, and peripheral vascular ischemia. We did not record any reduction of ischemic stroke events. CONCLUSION Our preliminary data suggest that CSII treatment seems to reduce the rates of CV compared with MDI therapy. Moreover, CSII also improved glycaemic control, without increasing the number of hypoglycaemia. However, given the observational design of this trial, our data should be validated in a randomized clinical trial; if they will be confirmed, CSII could be chosen for fully informed and motivated patients at higher risk of developing CV.

Abstract
AIM Assessment of insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio (ICR) in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) using multiple daily injection (MDI) therapy. METHODS This prospective observational study was conducted over a 2-year period at Sohag University Hospital, Egypt. Children and adolescents aged 4 to 17 years, diagnosed with T1DM for at least 1 year, with fasting serum C-peptide levels <0.24 ng/dL and whose parents accepted to shift their management to flexible MDI using carbohydrate counting, were included. Participants were initially hospitalized for estimation of ICR and insulin doses, then followed-up monthly for further adjustments. Insulin doses, ICR, and glycemic control parameters were assessed after 3 months. RESULTS The study included 201 participants, 110 (54.7%) of them were males. The median age was 9.5 years (interquartile range: 7-12.5 years). Bolus insulin requirements estimated by the 500 rule were significantly lower than the actual doses used by the study participants for all meals (P < .001). Bolus insulin requirement for morning meal was significantly higher compared to other meals (P < .001). Linear regression analyses between ICR for different meals and the reciprocal of total daily dose (TDD) in 96 participants with optimum glycemic control revealed that ICR could be calculated as 301 to 309/TDD for morning meal (R2 = 0.97, P < .001), 317 to 331/TDD for afternoon meal (R2 = 0.96, P < .001), and 362 to 376/TDD for evening meal (R2 = 0.98, P < .001). CONCLUSIONS Bolus insulin requirements showed diurnal variation. Using 301 to 309/TDD, 317 to 331/TDD, and 362 to 376/TDD formulas would be more appropriate than the 500 rule for initial estimation of ICR for morning, afternoon, and evening meals, respectively.

Abstract
Background Insulin delivery options for pregnant women with type 1 diabetes mellitus are either continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion or multiple daily injections. The aim of this paper is to compare pregnancy outcomes in women with type 1 diabetes mellitus using continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion or multiple daily injections in pregnancy. Methods Retrospective single-centre cohort study of 298 pregnancies booked between 2006 and 2016. Descriptive analysis was performed for HbA1c values. Logistic regression models were created to compare selected maternal and neonatal outcomes. Results Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion was associated with increased risk of large-for-gestational age (aOR 2.00, 95% CI 1.20-3.34) and preterm neonates (aOR 1.80, 95% CI 1.04-3.03). Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion had no association with increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. No difference in HbA1c values existed between groups. Conclusion Using continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion for type 1 diabetes mellitus through pregnancy is associated with increased risk of large-for-gestational age and preterm neonates, without increased risk of associated adverse maternal or neonatal outcomes.

Abstract
To review the literature on continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) and multiple daily injections (MDI) to help the family of a 13-year-old girl with type 1 diabetes mellitus on MDI choose the best insulin delivery method for her to improve her glycaemic control. A literature search was performed to assess available evidence regarding CSII use versus MDI use for glycaemic control. We identified 15 relevant articles and present these, with a detailed analysis of a multicentre randomised controlled trial by Mueller-Godeffroy et al. Although CSII use demonstrated a reduction in HbA1c (-0.18 to -0.7%) in some studies compared to MDI, this finding was not consistent across all studies. Mueller-Godeffroy et al. did not find a statistically significant different in HbA1c between CSII and MDI patients; however, additional benefits of insulin pump therapy, including improved diabetes-related quality of life and reduced care giver burden, were reported. Further high-quality randomised controlled trials and long-term data are required to assess the benefits of CSII over MDI and the longevity of these methods.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many patients do not intensify their insulin regimens. It is believed that lack of adherence may be largely due to fear of hypoglycemia. We hypothesized that utilization of an automated bolus calculator (bolus advisor) might reduce fear of hypoglycemia and encourage patients to achieve improved glycemic control. METHOD We surveyed 1,412 type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) patients treated with multiple daily insulin injection therapy at 270 hospitals in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland to assess their attitudes and behaviors regarding insulin therapy after use of a bolus advisor (Accu-Chek® Aviva Expert blood glucose meter and bolus advisor system, Roche Diagnostics). The device automatically calculates bolus dosages based on current blood glucose values, anticipated meal intake, and other parameters. RESULTS Five hundred eighty-eight T1DM patients responded to the survey. Respondents were predominantly female, age <1 to 70 years, with diabetes duration of <1 to >15 years. Respondents had 4-12 weeks prior experience using the bolus advisor. 76.7% of respondents indicated current bolus advisor use to calculate insulin boluses for meals/snacks always or quite often. 52.0% of respondents indicated that fear of hypoglycemia was reduced (39.0%) or significantly reduced (13.0%). 78.8% indicated that confidence in the insulin dose calculation improved (50.8%) or significantly improved (28.0%). 89.3% indicated that the bolus advisor made bolus calculation easy or very easy compared with manual calculation. CONCLUSIONS Most patients felt that using the bolus advisor was easier than manual bolus calculation, improved their confidence in the accuracy of their bolus dosage, and reduced their fear of hypoglycemia. Randomized trials are needed to confirm these perceptions and determine whether bolus advisor use improves clinical outcomes.

Abstract
In this issue of Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology, Barnard and colleagues evaluate the use of the ACCU-CHEK® Aviva Expert blood glucose meter/bolus advisor system in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Hypoglycemia is a major limiting factor to intensive glucose control, and fear of hypoglycemia, especially in those who have experienced severe reactions, is a major barrier. The bolus advisor improved overall glucose control and increased adherence by overcoming the patients' fear of hypoglycemia, giving them more confidence to give adequate doses of insulin to control hyperglycemia. In this review, we discuss other human factors that become barriers to intensive control, which can benefit from new technologies, including numeracy literacy, information overload, time required for diabetes self-care, and device incompatibility.
