Automated Insulin Delivery System: A Solution for Moderate to High-Risk Ramadan Fasting in People Living with Type 1 Diabetes.

Objectives: Background investigated whether Ramadan, a yearly religious fasting lasting for 1 month, could challenge the metabolic control obtained under a hybrid closed-loop (HCL) therapy in patients living with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Material and Method: This real-life prospective study involved 20 patients with T1D and moderate to high-risk score of adverse events at baseline. We compared continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) parameters under HCL therapy 1 month before and during the Ramadan fasting month. The main outcome was the evolution of the percentage of time-in-range (TIR, 70-180 mg/dL) between the two time points, and secondary outcomes were the evolution of other CGM parameters and frequency of acute metabolic events. Results: We observed no statistical difference regarding TIR (mean±SD) (63 ± 11% during fasting vs. 62 ± 12% before) as well as for other parameters including time spent under 70 mg/dL (1.1 ± 1.0% vs. 1.5 ± 1.3%) and percentage of HCL use (93 ± 5% vs. 94 ± 5%). No acute metabolic event was observed during fasting under HCL. Results were homogenous across baseline risk score groups.
