Article Synopsis
- * Among 851 adult diabetes patients, 28% reported skin reactions with CGM, and 29% with CSII, with higher incidence among women and type 1 diabetes patients.
- * Common reactions included redness and itching, usually occurring within the first day or after several months of use, but only a small percentage stopped using the devices due to these reactions, indicating irritation rather than allergies.
Aims/hypothesis: Insulin allergy is a rare but significant clinical challenge. We aimed to develop a management workflow by (1) validating clinical criteria to guide diagnosis, based on a retrospective cohort, and (2) assessing the diagnostic performance of confirmatory tests, based on a case-control study.
Methods: In the retrospective cohort, patients with suspected insulin allergy were classified into three likelihood categories according to the presence of all (likely insulin allergy; 26/52, 50%), some (possible insulin allergy; 9/52, 17%) or none (unlikely insulin allergy; 17/52, 33%) of four clinical criteria: (1) recurrent local or systemic immediate or delayed hypersensitivity reactions; (2) reactions elicited by each injection; (3) reactions centred on the injection sites; and (4) reactions observed by the investigator (i.
Aims: To conduct a pooled analysis to assess the performance of intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) in association with the rate of change in sensor glucose in a cohort of children, adolescents, and adults with type 1 diabetes.
Material And Methods: In this pooled analysis, isCGM system accuracy was assessed depending on the rate of change in sensor glucose. Clinical studies that have been investigating isCGM accuracy against blood glucose, accompanied with collection time points were included in this analysis.
Diagnostic circumstances and clinical forms of type 1 diabetes. In its classic form, type 1 diabetes is the prototype of insulindependent diabetes. But ketoacidosis can occur outside of type 1 diabetes, so ketoacdosis does not necessarily mean definitive insulin therapy.

Poor adherence in type 2 diabetes could be partially explained by a discounted value of health, as a function of delay. Delay discounting can be described with a hyperbolic model characterized by a coefficient, k.

The stability of insulin preparation is critical for a safe use in implanted pumps. Insuman implantable(®) (400 IU/mL) (Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GmbH, Frankfurt am Main, Germany), a recombinant human insulin, has been developed as a replacement for Insuplant(®) (Aventis Pharma, Frankfurt am Main, Germany), a semisynthetic insulin, the only one used so far.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjective: The benefits of real-time continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) have been demonstrated in patients with type 1 diabetes. Our aim was to compare the effect of two modes of use of CGM, patient led or physician driven, for 1 year in subjects with poorly controlled type 1 diabetes.
Research Design And Methods: Patients with type 1 diabetes aged 8-60 years with HbA(1c) ≥ 8% were randomly assigned to three groups (1:1:1).
Objective: Insulin pump therapy (continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion [CSII]) and multiple daily injections (MDIs) with insulin glargine as basal insulin and mealtime insulin lispro have not been prospectively compared in people naïve to either regimen in a multicenter study. We aimed to help close that deficiency.
Research Design And Methods: People with type 1 diabetes on NPH-based insulin therapy were randomized to CSII or glargine-based MDI (both otherwise using lispro) and followed for 24 weeks in an equivalence design.
