ワシントン州立大学(WSU)の研究チームは、高齢者における1型糖尿病の管理に新技術が有効であることを発見しました。 この技術は、血糖値のリアルタイムモニタリングとインスリン投与を自動化するシステムで、従来の手動による管理方法と比較して、血糖コントロールの改善と低血糖エピソードの減少が確認されました。特に、高齢者は低血糖によるリスクが高いため、この技術の導入は生活の質の向上に寄与する可能性があります。研究結果は、1型糖尿病患者のケアにおけるテクノロジーの重要性を示しており、今後の医療現場での活用が期待されています。

Abstract

Background
Older adults with type 1 diabetes are at risk for serious hypoglycemia. Automated insulin delivery can reduce risk but has not been sufficiently evaluated in this population.

Methods
We conducted a multicenter, randomized crossover trial in adults older than or equal to 65 years of age with type 1 diabetes. Participants completed three 12-week periods of using hybrid closed loop, predictive low-glucose suspend, and sensor-augmented pump insulin delivery in a randomized order. The primary outcome was the percentage of time with continuous glucose monitoring glucose values less than 70 mg/dl.

Results
Eighty-two participants between 65 and 86 years of age were randomly assigned: 45% were female; the baseline mean (±SD) glycated hemoglobin level was 7.2±0.9%; and the baseline percentage of time with glucose values less than 70 mg/dl was 2.49±1.78%. In the sensor-augmented pump, hybrid closed-loop, and predictive low-glucose suspend periods, percentages of time with glucose less than 70 mg/dl were 2.57±1.54%, 1.58±0.95%, and 1.67±0.96%, respectively. Compared with the sensor-augmented pump results, the mean difference with the hybrid closed-loop system was -1.05 percentage points (95% confidence interval [CI], -1.48 to -0.73 percentage points; P<0.001) and with the predictive low-glucose suspend system it was -0.93 percentage points (95% CI, -1.27 to -0.66 percentage points; P<0.001). Comparing a hybrid closed-loop system with a sensor-augmented pump, time in the range 70 to 180 mg/dl changed by 8.9 percentage points (95% CI, 7.4 to 10.4 percentage points) and the glycated hemoglobin level changed by 0.2 percentage points (95% CI, -0.3 to -0.1 percentage points). Serious adverse events were uncommon. Severe hypoglycemia occurred in 4% or less of participants; there were two hospitalizations for diabetic ketoacidosis.

Conclusions
In older adults with type 1 diabetes, automated insulin delivery decreased hypoglycemia compared with sensor-augmented pump delivery. (Funded by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases and others; ClinicalTrials.gov number: NCT04016662.)
