Abstract

Objective: Data on switching from traditional mealtime insulin analogs to fast-acting insulin aspart (Fiasp) in routine clinical practice are sparse. The aim was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this switch in a “real-world” clinical practice setting in adult people with type 1 diabetes (PWD1) who were using intermittent or real-time continuous glucose monitoring (iCGM or rtCGM) in Belgium. Research Design and Methods: Data from 438 adult PWD1 (60% men, age 44.6±16.1 y, duration of diabetes 21.5±14.0 y, iCGM/rtCGM: 391/47, multiple daily injections/pump: 409/29), who initiated Fiasp between January 2018 and May 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The primary endpoint was the evolution of time in range (TIR, 70-180 mg/dl) at 6 (n=416) and 12 months (n=380). Secondary endpoints included change in HbA1c, BMI, insulin doses, time below range (T<70 and T<54 mg/dl) and time above range (T>180 and T>250 mg/dl). Results: TIR improved from 50.3±15.6% to 54.3±15.1% at 6 months and 55.5±15.2% at 12 months (p<0.0001), corresponding to an increase of 75 minutes/day at 12 months. T<70 mg/dl evolved from 7.4±5.5% to 7.6±5.8% and to 6.8±5.5% (p=0.037), and T<54 mg/dl evolved from 3.1±3.3% to 3.1±3.7% and 2.5±3.0% (p=0.003) at 6 and 12 months, respectively. Also, T>180 mg/dl decreased from 42.3±16.7% to 38.1±16.5% and to 37.7±16.9% (p<0.0001), and T>250 mg/dl evolved from 16.5±12.8% to 13.8±11.8% and to 13.1±12.5% (p<0.0001) at 6 and 12 months. At 12 months HbA1c (from 7.8±1.1% to 7.7±1.0%), insulin doses (0.66±0.24 to 0.62±0.21 units/kg body weight/day and ratio bolus/basal from 1.28 to 1.30) and BMI (from 25.8±4.0 to 26.2±4.1 kg/m2) did not change significantly. Conclusions: In a Belgian real-world setting of adult PWD1, switching to Fiasp resulted in a 5% increased TIR, corresponding to 75 min/day, in combination with less time spent below and above range.
