Abstract

AIM: We aim to compare commercial automated insulin delivery (C-AID) systems with open-source do-it-yourself (DIY)-AID systems for glucose management among adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in real-life conditions. METHODS: A prospective observational, non-inferiority, parallel-cohort study involving 77 adults with T1D, having used an AID for ≥3 months and living in Canada (25 DIY-AID and 52 C-AID users): 59.7% females, mean age 44.0 ± 14.7 years old with mean diabetes duration of 26.9 ± 14.5 years and HbA1c of 6.7 ± 0.7%. A total of 30 days’ data from an additional blinded CGM (Dexcom G6) was used to assess effectiveness [Primary outcome: 24h time in range% (TIR%) for 30 days]. RESULTS: DIY-AIDs were non-inferior to C-AIDs regarding the TIR% [78.3±11.0% vs. 71.2±10.9%, mean difference 7.2% [95% CI 1.9% to 12.5%], P<0.001 for non-inferiority (non-inferiority margin 5%)], even after adjusting for various confounding factors (age, sex, auto-mode%, duration of AID use, annual household income, and educational level). The percentage of time in hypoglycemia (<70 mg/dL) was higher with DIY-AID (3.9±3.1%) than with C-AID (1.8±1.3%) but still below recommended threshold (Table). Differences between both systems are more pronounced during daytime. CONCLUSION: DIY-AIDs are non-inferior to C-AIDs for TIR% among adults with T1D in real-world settings.
