Abstract
Introduction: Automated insulin delivery (AID) systems have improved glycemic control in individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) but overweight and increased cardiovascular risk remain a challenge. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are associated with improved cardiometabolic profile but are currently not approved for the treatment of T1D.
Material and methods: Individuals with T1D at Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen, Denmark, treated with AID and off-label GLP-1 RA for at least six months between January 2017 and May 2024 were included in a retrospective chart review study.
Results: Nineteen individuals with (median [range]) age 42 (24-60) years were included. At GLP-1 RA initiation, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) was 7.3% (6.1%-8.7%), HbA1c 56 (43-72) mmol/mol, body weight 91.5 (78.0-115.0) kg, and body mass index 35.4 (27.0-42.0) kg/m2. Time in range was 74% (29%-82%), time above range 25% (18%-71%) while time below range was 1% (0%-5%). After six months of treatment, body weight changed -11% (-22% to -3%; P = .001) and total daily insulin dose changed -15.1 (-32.5 to -8.2) IU (P = .004). There were no significant changes in HbA1c or other glucose measures. One person developed ketoacidosis caused by infusion set failure, but none reported severe hypoglycemia.
Conclusion: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist as add-on therapy for six months in individuals with obesity and AID-treated T1D led to considerable weight loss and a reduction in insulin dose.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology (JDST) is a bi-monthly, peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the Diabetes Technology Society. JDST covers scientific and clinical aspects of diabetes technology including glucose monitoring, insulin and metabolic peptide delivery, the artificial pancreas, digital health, precision medicine, social media, cybersecurity, software for modeling, physiologic monitoring, technology for managing obesity, and diagnostic tests of glycation. The journal also covers the development and use of mobile applications and wireless communication, as well as bioengineered tools such as MEMS, new biomaterials, and nanotechnology to develop new sensors. Articles in JDST cover both basic research and clinical applications of technologies being developed to help people with diabetes.
