Implication

Randomized trial evaluates insulin pump effects on glycemic metrics in children, indicating benefits of advanced systems.

Key Points

This study aims to evaluate the effects of transitioning from multiple daily injections to insulin pump therapy in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
Evaluated 50 pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus over 6 months.
Measured glycemic control metrics pre-transition and at three- and six-month intervals post-transition to either automated insulin delivery or non-automated systems.
Assessed parameters included HbA1c, TIR, TAR, TBR, GMI, and CV.
Significant increase in time in range (TIR) from 70.9% at 3 months to 73.2% at 6 months (p=0.0038).
Time above range (TAR) decreased significantly to 26.5% at 3 months and 24.3% at 6 months (p=0.033).
In the automated insulin delivery group, TIR showed a marked increase (p=0.0001) with reductions in TAR (p=0.0009) and GMI (p=0.03).
