Abstract
Introduction: While people with diabetes (PWD)'s experiences with their insulin delivery systems (IDS) are frequently reported in clinical trials, few real-world data exist on the subject. This study aimed to assess the real-world experience and satisfaction with IDS in PWD.
Methods: This cross-sectional survey of PWD treated with tubed or tubeless insulin pumps, hybrid closed loop (HCL) systems, or multiple daily injections (MDI) for at least 3 months ran from 4 to 16 May 2023. The questionnaire containing bespoke questions and the Insulin Delivery System Rating Questionnaire (IDSRQ) satisfaction and interference subscales was answered by subscribers of the Aide aux Jeunes Diabétiques patient association and users of the MyDiabby Healthcare web platform.
Results: Of 896 analysable respondents (552 children [age 10.7 ± 3.8 years, 46.9% female, all type 1] and 344 adults [age 43.1 ± 19.3 years, 61.9% female, 87.2% type 1]), HCL and pump users reported greater satisfaction with their IDS on the IDSRQ satisfaction subscale (HCL, 70.9 ± 17.7 [n = 208]; tubeless, 66.6 ± 19.1 [n = 272]; tubed, 64.1 ± 21.6 [n = 215]) than MDI users (53.1 ± 23.0 [n = 201]; all p < 0.001). Regarding the interference subscale, tubeless pumps (31.1 ± 24.8) performed similarly to HCLs (37.0 ± 25.5; p = 0.07) and significantly better than tubed pumps (38.6 ± 26.0; p < 0.001) and MDI (42.2 ± 24.3; p < 0.001). Furthermore, 84.6% of tubeless pump users would retain their style of pump for their ideal HCL, almost twice as often as tubed pump users.
Conclusion: These results demonstrate a more positive person-reported experience with HCLs or tubeless pumps than with tubed pumps or MDI, primarily due to less interference with daily life, which most tubeless pump users would like to retain when transitioning to a HCL system. Overall, this pioneering study underscores the importance of patient preferences, providing valuable information for physicians prescribing IDS, and facilitating discussions about treatment options.
期刊介绍:
Diabetes Therapy is an international, peer reviewed, rapid-publication (peer review in 2 weeks, published 3–4 weeks from acceptance) journal dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of therapeutics and interventions (including devices) across all areas of diabetes. Studies relating to diagnostics and diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health, epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
The journal is of interest to a broad audience of healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, communications and letters. The journal is read by a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world. Diabetes Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an international and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of all scientifically and ethically sound research.
