Abstract

Background: Many patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus are switching from sensor-augmented insulin pump therapy to an artificial pancreas system for various reasons. Since there are no suitable approved Automated Insulin Delivery -AID system in Austria, open-source systems are increasingly being used. The question arises, how does glycemic control change after switching? Methods: This monocentric retrospective data analysis from 20to 2021 will compare sensor-augmented pump therapy with the open-source AID system using AGP profiles from 25 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus. The AGP are generated from sensor data 4 weeks with pump therapy AGP1 and 4 weeks with open-source AID system AGP2. AGP is generated with Dexcom application. Results: Comparing AGP1 and 2 shows a significant reduction of mean glucose from 143mg/dl to 125mg/dl and glucose variability from 50mg/dl to 40mg/dl. The time in target range can be increased from 74% to 84% without changing the time in hypoglycemia. Time in hyperglycemia above 180 and 250 mg/dl and GMI decreased significantly. Conclusion: Open-source AID system can achieve an improvement in glycemic control. In this data analysis, the open-source AID systems can be considered safe due to the lack of increase in hypoglycemia. Disclosure M. Mueller-Korbsch: Research Support; Dexcom, Inc.
