Efficacy of Hybrid Closed-Loop System in Adults with Type 1 Diabetes and Gastroparesis

We evaluated the efficacy of 670 G HCL on changes in HbA1c and continuous glucose monitor (CGM)-based glucose metrics at 3 and 6 months between five adults with T1D with gastroparesis and nine age-, sex-, and diabetes duration-matched T1D without gastroparesis. At baseline, there were no differences in age, gender, diabetes duration, and total daily insulin requirement between two groups. Median duration of gastroparesis diagnosis was 4.3 years (interquartile range [IQR]: 3.7, 5.9 years). Reduction in HbA1c [difference in HbA1c from baseline to 6 months, median (IQR): 0.3% (0.3%, 0.3%) vs. 0.5% (0.3%, 0.9%); P = 0.20] and CGM time spent in normoglycemia at 6 months [median (IQR): 73% (68%, 80%) vs. 67% (64%, 74%); P = 0.24] were not different between the groups. HCL has similar efficacy in glucose control in adults with T1D with gastroparesis and appears to be safe in this population.
