Intensive therapy with exogenous insulin is the treatment of choice for individuals living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and some with type 2 diabetes, alongside regular glucose monitoring. The development of systems allowing (semi-)automated insulin delivery (AID), by connecting glucose sensors with insulin pumps and algorithms, has revolutionized insulin therapy. Indeed, AID systems have demonstrated a proven impact on overall glucose control, as indicated by effects on glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), risk of severe hypoglycemia, and quality of life measures.

Background: Adults with type 1 diabetes who are treated with multiple daily injections of insulin plus intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) can have suboptimal glucose control. We aimed to assess the efficacy of an advanced hybrid closed loop (AHCL) system compared with such therapy in this population.
Methods: The Advanced Hybrid Closed Loop Study in Adult Population with Type 1 Diabetes (ADAPT) trial is a prospective, multicentre, open-label, randomised controlled trial that involved 14 centres in three European countries (France, Germany, and the UK).
Introduction: Hybrid closed loop (HCL) insulin pump systems and intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (IS-CGM) are increasingly used by individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The aim of the analysis was to compare the long-term cost-effectiveness of the MiniMed 670G HCL system versus IS-CGM plus multiple daily injections of insulin (MDI) or continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) in adults with T1D in the Netherlands.
Methods: The analysis was performed using the IQVIA CORE Diabetes Model with clinical input data sourced from observational studies.
Introduction: For many people with type 1 diabetes who struggle to achieve glycaemic control with multiple daily injections of insulin (MDI) plus self-monitoring of blood glucose, MDI plus intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (IS-CGM) or real-time continuous glucose monitoring (RT-CGM), or insulin administration using insulin pump therapy represent optimised care in many regions. Through technological advances an advanced hybrid closed loop (AHCL) system has been developed; studies of incremental effects relative to MDI plus IS-CGM are lacking.
Methods And Analysis: The Advanced Hybrid Closed Loop study in Adult Population with Type 1 Diabetes (ADAPT) study is a multinational, prospective, open-label, confirmatory and exploratory randomised controlled trial to examine outcomes with the MiniMed 670G version 4.
Usage of automated insulin delivery systems is increasing for the treatment of people with type 1 diabetes (T1D). This study compared long-term cost-effectiveness of the Advanced Hybrid Closed Loop MiniMed 780G (AHCL) system versus sensor augmented pump (SAP) system with predictive low glucose management (PLGM) or multiple daily injections (MDI) plus intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) in people with T1D in Greece. Analyses were performed using the IQVIA CORE Diabetes Model, with clinical input data sourced from various studies.

The aim of the analysis reported here was to investigate the long-term cost-effectiveness of CSII versus MDI in type 2 diabetes patients with poor glycemic control in Finland.
Methods: The IQVIA CORE Diabetes Model was used to make long-term projections of the clinical and economic outcomes associated with CSII use in type 2 diabetes, based on clinical input data from the OpT2mise trial, which showed that CSII was associated with a 1.
Aim: The aim of this study was to perform a cost-effectiveness analysis to establish the cost-effectiveness of sensor-augmented pump therapy (SAP) with automated insulin suspension vs continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) alone in patients with type 1 diabetes in the Netherlands.
Patients And Methods: The analysis was performed using the IQVIA CORE Diabetes Model (CDM) in two different patient cohorts: one with suboptimal glycemic control at baseline (mean age 27 years, mean baseline HbA1c 8.0% [64 mmol/mol]) and the other at increased risk of hypoglycemic events (mean age 18.
Background: Sensor-integrated pump systems with low-glucose suspend (also known as threshold suspend) functions have markedly transformed the management of type 1 diabetes, but most studies to date have excluded patients at high risk of hypoglycemia. The SMILE study is investigating the efficacy of the MiniMed™ 640G insulin pump with the SmartGuard™ predictive low-glucose management (PLGM) feature in the prevention of hypoglycemia in adults with type 1 diabetes, who are at high risk of hypoglycemia.
Methods: SMILE is a prospective, randomized, open-label, controlled trial being undertaken in four European countries and Canada.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: The OpT2mise randomized trial was designed to compare the effects of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) and multiple daily injections (MDI) on glucose profiles in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Research Design And Methods: Patients with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels of ≥8% (64 mmol/mol) and ≤12% (108 mmol/mol) despite insulin doses of 0.7-1.
Aims: The aim of this study is to assess the impact of the diabetes-related complications on costs and to shed light on the potential savings that could be obtained by the National Healthcare System if better glycemic control was to be achieved in the type 1 diabetes population.
Methods: Epidemiologic data were used to distribute diabetes type 1 patients into A1c levels, and the relative risk of diabetes-related complications associated with the level of A1c was extrapolated from published risk curves. The costs associated with all complications in the Italian settings, retrieved from published literature, were used to estimate the economic impact of complications in each A1c level from the NHS perspective and the potential savings that could be obtained should a treatment strategy allow to achieve better metabolic control.
Background: In insulin-requiring type 2 diabetes patients, current insulin therapy approaches such as basal-alone or basal-bolus multiple daily injections (MDI) have not consistently provided achievement of optimal glycemic control. Previous studies have suggested a potential benefit of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) in these patients. The OpT2mise study is a multicenter, randomized, trial comparing CSII with MDI in a large cohort of subjects with evidence of persistent hyperglycemia despite previous MDI therapy.
