Billion L, Charleer S, Verbraeken L, et al. - In a Belgian real-world setting of adult people with type 1 diabetes (PWD1) who were using intermittently scanned or real-time continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM or rtCGM), switching to Fiasp was related to a 5% increase in time in range (TIR) after 12 months, corresponding to 75 minutes per day, in addition to less time spent below and above range.
Data were analyzed from 438 adult PWD1 (60% men, age 44.6 ± 16.2 y, diabetes duration 21.5 ± 14.0 y, isCGM/rtCGM: 391/47, MDI/CSII: 409/29), who started Fiasp between January 2018 and May 2020.
TIR increased from 50.3 ± 15.6% to 54.3 ± 15.1% at 6 months and 55.5 ± 15.2% at 12 months, equating to 57 minutes/day at 6 months and 75 minutes/day at 12 months.
At 6 and 12 months, T < 54 mg/dL changed from 3.1 ± 3.3% to 3.1 ± 3.7% and 2.5 ± 3.0%, respectively.
T > 180 mg/dL also declined from 42.3 ± 16.7% at the start by 4.2% at 6 months and by 4.6% at 12 months.
The percentage of patients achieving TIR > 70% increased from 11.0% to 14.8% and those spending <4% at time < 70 mg/dL increased from 36.1% to 42.1%.
HbA1c, insulin doses, and BMI did not significantly change after 12 months.
