Overview

May suggest short-term benefit in unstable type 1 diabetes; leaves open durability and need for controlled trials.

Structured PICO

Does computer-assisted insulin delivery improve glycemic control in type I unstable diabetic patients?

P
Population
6 subjects with type I unstable diabetes, who already received 2-4 daily insulin injections
I
Intervention
Computer-assisted insulin delivery using a pocket-size microprocessor device for 2-14 months
C
Comparator
Basal period (prior treatment with 2-4 daily insulin injections)
O
Outcome
Glycemic control (HbA1 levels)surrogate

Computer-assisted insulin delivery may provide short-term improvements in HbA1 levels in unstable type I diabetics without increasing hypoglycemia, though long-term benefits remain uncertain.
