HbA1c values and hospital admissions in children and adolescents receiving continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion therapy
Diabetic Medicine Aug 17, 2018
Evans-Cheung TC, et al. - For this investigation, researchers extracted demographic and hospitalization data from 161 people with Type 1 diabetes who received continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) therapy between 2002 and 2013 at the Leeds Children and Young People's Diabetes Service for those aged < 20 years to assess HbA1c values and hospitalization rates before, during and after CSII therapy. It was observed that the mean HbA1c concentration decreased by 7 mmol/mol. The findings suggested that improvements were needed to reduce diabetic ketoacidosis hospitalizations for those new to the therapy despite significant reductions in HbA1c levels for individuals treated with CSII. During CSII compared with the pre-CSII period, no difference in severe hypoglycaemia incidence rate was observed.
