Abstract

The objective was to examine PROs after use of t:slim X2 insulin pump with Control-IQ technology (CIQ) in young children. Children with T1D ages 2-<6 years (n=102) were randomized 2:1 to either CIQ or standard care (SC) with pump or MDI plus CGM for 13 wks. Both groups could use CIQ for an additional 13 wks. Parents completed PROs at baseline, 13-, and 26-wks examining hypoglycemia concerns, quality of life, parenting stress, and sleep (see table). At 26 wks, 28 families participated in focus groups about their experiences with CIQ. Repeated measures analysis with False Discovery Rate correction and accounting for baseline showed that all 5 PROs surveys moved in the positive direction. Four showed that CIQ was superior to SC at 26 wks (p values < 0.05). Focus group findings showed optimized glycemic control overall and nighttime control specifically (28 of 28 families endorsed). All but 2 families noted substantial reduction in management burden resulting in less mental burden and all but 4 stated that they wanted their kids to continue using CIQ. Families utilizing CIQ experienced glycemic benefit coupled with substantial benefit in PROs, documented on surveys and focus groups. Families utilizing CIQ had reduced hypoglycemia concerns and parenting stress, and improved quality of life and sleep. These findings demonstrate benefit of CIQ in young children with T1D that goes beyond documented glycemic benefit. Disclosure A.Schneider-utaka: None.
