An 8-Day Initiation of Advanced Hybrid Closed Loop System In Children and Adolescents
Type 1 DiabetesOne of the available Hybrid closed loop system is MiniMed 670G (Medtronic Diabetes, Northridge, CA, USA), which is indicated for children above 7 years old, adolescents and adults with Type 1 Diabetes. Several studies have shown improved HbA1c, time in target range, and SG variability in children, adolescents and adults with Type 1 Diabetes, where participants were experienced with using CSII therapy, assuming that the success of HCL systems depend on prior use of pump therapy. A recent study, published by diabetes team from Sidra Medicine, Doha has showed that children and adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes on MDI therapy can successfully initiate the HCL system, using a concise structured 10-day protocol, achieving better outcomes than in previous studies, where participants had previous experience with diabetes related technology and longer initiation process. The AHCL system, Minimed 780G is CE-marked includes additional functionality aiming to provide further protections from highs. The user can choose the algorithm to target a glucose level of 100 or 120 mg/dL. Like for the MiniMed 670G HCL system, users can also choose the algorithm to temporarily target a glucose value of 150 mg/dL. In addition, the AHCL system has the ability to administer correction bolus automatically, targeting 120 mg/dL. The AHCL algorithm was evaluated with a model-based algorithm design platform incorporating a virtual patient simulator, where additional changes were made (lower target ranges and automated correction boluses ( )). A recent study including 12 patients with type 1 diabetes on AHCL system, has shown no episodes of hypoglycemia or diabetic ketoacidosis, while maintaining 99% time spent in closed loop and high time in ra1]\nge ( ). AHCL decreased Auto Mode exits and alerts, and improves glycaemia without compromising safety, despite multiple food and exercise challenges ( ). Sidra Medicine is the only center for childhood diabetes in Qatar. Around 80% of type 1 diabetes patients are using a device (insulin pump/glucose sensor) and around 45% are using sensor-augmented pump (SAP)/HCL systems.

Decision Coaching for Youth and Parents Considering Insulin Delivery Methods for Type 1 Diabetes...
Type 1 Diabetes MellitusA pre-/post-test design. Youth with type 1 diabetes and their parent(s) were referred to the intervention by their diabetes physician. Decision coaching guided youth and their parents in completing a patient decision aid that was pre-populated with evidence on insulin delivery options. Primary outcomes were youth and parent scores on the low literary version of the Decisional Conflict Scale (DCS).
Glycaemia and Cardiac Function in Patients With COVID-19
Diabetes MellitusDiabetes Mellitus4 moreThe study design is observational, exploratory study consisting of two cohorts of COVID-19 patients admitted to the ICU and the medical ward, respectively. The primary outcome focusing on the effect of plasma glucose levels on cardiac function will be evaluated by repeated assessment of cardiac function by echocardiography and measurement of plasma glucose. Furthermore, blood coagulability will be evaluated to determine the importance of diabetes status and plasma glucose changes for whole blood coagulability at time of admission to the ICU and progression in coagulability abnormalities. In the medical ward cohort, two assessments will be performed separated by no more than 12 hours. In the ICU cohort, three assessments will be performed separated by no more than 6 hours. Ideally, 60 patients with COVID-19 will be included in the ICU cohort with a 1:1 distribution between patient with and without diabetes. Ideally, 40 patients with diabetes will be included in the cohort of patients admitted to medical ward (hospitalisation cohort). The primary hypothesis is that levels of plasma glucose have clinically significant impact on left ventricular systolic function in patients with COVID-19 admitted to the ICU. The secondary hypothesis is that the impact of plasma glucose on left ventricular systolic function is associated with glycaemic control prior to admission as measured by HbA1c.
