Study design (if review, criteria of inclusion for studies)
Prospective cohort study
Participants
21 adults with Cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) were offered AID in place of multiple daily injections (MDI) or sensor-augmented pump (SAP)
Interventions
Patients were offered Automated insulin delivery (AID) in place of multiple daily injections (MDI) or sensor-augmented pump (SAP)
Outcome measures
The Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (DTSQ) and Audit of Diabetes-Dependent Quality of Life (ADDQoL) were administered at baseline and after 3 months. Primary outcomes were changes in DTSQ and ADDQoL scores; secondary outcomes included continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) metrics.
Main results
After 3 months of AID use, DTSQ scores improved from 22 (IQR: 19-23) to 33 (IQR: 31-35), P < 0.001. ADDQoL scores increased from -2.1 (IQR: -2.7 to -1.2) to -0.9 (IQR: -1.7 to 0.5), P < 0.001. CGM metrics also improved significantly.
Authors' conclusions
These findings provide preliminary evidence suggesting that AID may be a useful tool in the management of CFRD.
