Background: Hybrid closed-loop (HCL) insulin pump therapy (Medtronic 670G) is an emerging technology that is growing in use worldwide. Initial clinical trials demonstrated the effectiveness of HCL in reducing hypoglycemia and improving glucose control; however, these subjects were intensely monitored and supervised. There has been concern regarding the ability of patients to remain in auto mode. We aimed to assess HCL when used in a typical outpatient endocrine clinic. Methods: We initially analyzed data from 80 individuals with type 1 diabetes managed in an endocrine clinic by a single certified diabetes educator (CDE). We then included our other providers and had 230 subjects by the end of the study. Patients were either transitioned from traditional insulin pump or multiple daily insulin injection therapy (MDI) to HCL. Patients initiated to HCL pump therapy from July 2017 through February 2020 were studied. Endpoints of change in time in hypoglycemic/hyperglycemic range and time in target range were analyzed. The primary outcome was a change in percent time in the target range during manual mode compared with auto mode. Results: There was an 18.2% increase in average time in target range when comparing manual mode to auto mode (59.3% vs 70.1%, P < .0001). Average time in hyperglycemic range was significantly reduced by 26.7% (39.0% vs 28.6%, P < .0001) but without increasing average time in hypoglycemic range (1.7% vs 1.3%, P = 0.95). Conclusions: HCL was effective in reducing hyperglycemia and increasing time in the target range but did not increase hypoglycemia. These data suggest HCL will improve the metrics of glucose control.

Fewer than 30 % of patients with diabetes who are on insulin therapy achieve target glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels. Automated bolus calculators (ABCs) are now almost universally used for patients on insulin pump therapy to calculate pre-meal insulin doses. Use of ABCs in glucose monitors and smart phone applications have the potential to improve glucose control in a larger population of individuals with diabetes on insulin therapy by overcoming the fear of hypoglycaemia and assisting those with low numeracy skills.
