Preclinical testing and validation of therapeutic strategies developed for patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) require a cohort of virtual patients (VPs). However, current simulators provide a limited number of VPs, lack real-life scenarios, and inadequately represent intra- and inter-day variability in insulin sensitivity and blood glucose (BG) profile. The generation of a realistic scenario was achieved by using the meal patterns, insulin profiles (basal and bolus), and exercise sessions estimated as disturbances using clinical data from a cohort of 14 T1D patients using the Medtronic 640G insulin pump provided by the Hospital Clínic de Barcelona. The UVa/Padova’s cohort of adult patients was used for the generation of a new cohort of VPs. Insulin model parameters were optimized and adjusted in a day-by-day fashion to replicate the clinical data to create a cohort of 75 VPs. All primary and secondary outcomes reflecting the BG profile of a T1D patient were analyzed and compared to the clinical data. The mean BG 166.3 versus 162.2 mg/dL ( = 0.19), coefficient of variation 32% versus 33% ( = 0.54), and percent of time in range (70 to 180 mg/dL) 59.6% versus 66.8% ( = 0.35) were achieved. The proposed methodology for generating a cohort of VPs is capable of mimicking the BG metrics of a real cohort of T1D patients from the Hospital Clínic de Barcelona. It can adopt the inter-day variations in the BG profile, similar to the observed clinical data, and thus provide a benchmark for preclinical testing of control techniques and therapy strategies for T1D patients.

<b>Aim:</b> To investigate the association between treatment-induced change in continuous glucose monitored (CGM) time-in-range (TIR) and albuminuria in persons with type 1 diabetes (T1D) treated with sensor-augmented-pumps (SAP). <p><b>Methods: </b><a></a><a>Twenty-six of fifty-five participants with albuminuria and multiple daily injection-therapy (25% females, 51 (46-63) years, HbA<sub>1c</sub> 75 (68-88) mmol/mol [9.0 (8.4-10.4)%], UACR 89 (37-250) mg/g) were in a randomized-controlled trial assigned to SAP-therapy for one year</a>. Anthropometrics, CGM-data, blood and urine samples were collected every three months.</p> <p><b>Results: </b>Mean change (95%-CI) in %TIR was +13.2 (6.2;20.2)%, HbA<sub>1C</sub> was -14.4 (-17.4;-10.5) mmol/mol [-1.3 (-1.6;-1.0)%] and urinary albumin-creatinine-ratio (UACR) was -15 (-38;17)%, all p<0.05. UACR decreased with 19 (10;28)% per 10% increase in %TIR (p=0.04), 18 (1;30)% per 10 mmol/mol decrease in HbA<sub>1C</sub> (p=0.07), and 31% per 10 mmHg decrease in mean arterial pressure (p<0.001).<b></b></p> <b>Conclusion: </b>In this longitudinal study, treatment-induced increase in %TIR was significantly associated with decrease in albuminuria in T1D.

<b>OBJECTIVE </b> <p>To analyze safety and efficacy of the DBLG1 hybrid closed-loop artificial pancreas system in patients with Type 1 Diabetes in real life conditions. </p> <p> </p> <p><b>METHODS</b></p> <p>Following a one-week run-in period with usual pump, 25 patients were provided with the commercial DBLG1 system. We present the results of Time-in-Range and HbA1c over a 6-month period.</p> <p><b> </b></p> <p><b>RESULTS</b></p> <p>The mean (SD;range) age of patients was 43 years (13.8; 25-72). At baseline, mean HbA1c and TIR 70-180mg/dL were respectively 7.9% (0.93; 5.6- 8.5) [63mmol/mol (10; 38-69)] and 53% (16.4;21-85). One patient stopped using the system after 2 months. At 6-month, mean HbA1c decreased to 7.1% [54mmol/mol] (p<0.001) and TIR 70-180mg/dL increased to 69.7% (p<0.0001). TIR<70mg/dL decreased from 2.4 to 1.3% (p=0.03). TIR<54mg/dL decreased from 0.32 to 0.24% (p=0.42). No serious adverse event was reported during the study. </p> <p> </p> <p><b>CONCLUSION</b></p> <p>The DBLG1 System confirms its ability to significantly improve glycemic control in real life conditions, without serious adverse events. </p>

Background: We determined the uptake rate of continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) and examined associations of clinical and demographic characteristics with CGM use among patients with type 1 diabetes covered by Colorado Medicaid during the first two years of CGM coverage with no out-of-pocket cost. Method: We retrospectively reviewed data from 892 patients with type 1 diabetes insured by Colorado Medicaid (Colorado Health Program [CHP] and CHP+, Colorado Medicaid expansion). Demographics, insulin pump usage, CGM usage, and hemoglobin A1c (A1c) were extracted from the medical record. Data downloaded into CGM software at clinic appointments were reviewed to determine 30-day use prior to appointments. Subjects with some exposure to CGM were compared to subjects never exposed to CGM, and we examined the effect of CGM use on glycemic control. Results: Twenty percent of subjects had some exposure to CGM with a median of 22 [interquartile range 8, 29] days wear. Sixty one percent of CGM users had >85% sensor wear. Subjects using CGM were more likely to be younger ( P < .001), have shorter diabetes duration ( P < .001), and be non-Hispanic White ( P < .001) than nonusers. After adjusting for age and diabetes duration, combined pump and CGM users had a lower A1c than those using neither technology ( P = .006). Lower A1c was associated with greater CGM use ( P = .002) and increased percent time in range ( P < .001). Conclusion: Pediatric Medicaid patients successfully utilized CGM. Expansion of Medicaid coverage for CGM may help improve glycemic control and lessen disparities in clinical outcomes within this population.

For paediatric patients with type 1 diabetes, intensified insulin therapy with either multiple daily injection or insulin pump therapy is currently the only method of treatment. To optimize this therapy, insulin analogues are fixed parts of all therapy regimens. New ultra-rapid insulins seem to be beneficial not only in adults but also in this age group. New developments in long-acting analogues have demonstrated safety and will be regular in paediatrics, we hope, soon. Furthermore, the psychosocial approach for consideration of real-life aspects becomes more the focus of therapeutic regimens and is implemented into international guidelines. Technical improvements, such as continuous glucose monitoring, particularly in combination with pump therapy, support the great success of rapid-acting analogues by reducing hypoglycaemias. Non-insulin agents such as SGLT2-inhibitors show beneficial aspects in people with type 1 diabetes. For outpatient care with these currently off-label-used drugs, special training for measurement of ketones should be imperative.

Background: There is a lack of systematic ways to analyze how diabetes patients use their insulin pumps to self-manage blood glucose to compensate for alcohol ingestion and exercise. The objective was to analyze “real-life” insulin dosing decisions occurring in conjunction with alcohol intake and exercise among patients using insulin pumps. Methods: We recruited adult type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients on insulin pump therapy. Participants were asked to maintain their daily routines, including those related to exercising and consuming alcohol, and keep a 30-day journal on exercise performed and alcohol consumed. Thirty days of insulin pump data were downloaded. Participants’ actual insulin dosing behaviors were compared against their self-reported behaviors in the setting of exercise and alcohol. Results: Nineteen T1D patients were recruited and over 4000 interactions with the insulin pump were analyzed. The analysis exposed variability in how subjects perceived the effects of exercise/alcohol on their blood glucose, inconsistencies between self-reported and observed behaviors, and higher rates of blood glucose control behaviors for exercise versus alcohol. Conclusion: Compensation techniques and perceptions on how exercise and alcohol affect their blood glucose levels vary between patients. Improved individualized educational techniques that take into consideration a patient’s unique life style are needed to help patients effectively apply alcohol and exercise compensation techniques.
