Abstract

Objective: The Advanced Hybrid Closed Loop (AHCL) systems have provided the potential to ameliorate glucose control in children with Type 1 Diabetes. The aim of the present work was to compare metabolic control obtained with 2 AHCL systems (Medtronic 780G system and Tandem Control IQ system) in a pediatric real-life clinical context.

Research design and methods: It is an observational, real-life, monocentric study; thirty one children and adolescents (M:F = 15:16, age range 7.6-18 years, mean age 13.05 ± 2.4 years, Diabetes duration > 1 year) with T1D, previously treated with Predictive Low Glucose Suspend (PLGS) systems and then upgraded to AHCL have been enrolled. CGM data of the last four weeks of "PLGS system" (PRE period) with the first four weeks of AHCL system (POST period) have been compared.

Results: For both AHCL systems, Medtronic 780G and Tandem Control IQ, respectively TIR at 4 weeks significantly increased, from 65.7 to 70.5% (p < 0.01) and from 64.8 to 70.1% (p < 0.01). (p < 0.01). The comparison between CGM metrics of the 2 evaluated systems doesn't show difference at baseline (last four weeks of PLGS system) and after four weeks of AHCL use.

Conclusions: To our knowledge, this study is the first real-life one comparing 2 AHCL systems in a pediatric population with T1D. It shows an improvement in glucose control when upgrading to AHCL. The comparison between the two AHCL systems did not show significant differences in the analyzed CGM metrics, meaning that the algorithms currently available are equally effective in promoting glucose control.
