Use of the Community-Derived Open-Source Automated Insulin Delivery Loop System in Type 2 Diabetes.
Use of the Community-Derived Open-Source Automated Insulin Delivery Loop System in Type 2 Diabetes. Diabetes technology & therapeutics Bauza, C., Kanapka, L. G., Greene, E., Lal, R. A., Arbiter, B., Beck, R. W. 2024Abstract
No published data are available on the use of the community-derived open-source Loop hybrid closed-loop controller ("Loop") by individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Via social media postings, we invited individuals with T2D currently using the Loop system to join an observational study. Thirteen responded of whom 7 were eligible for the study, were using the Loop algorithm, and provided data. Mean (±SD) age was 61±13 years and mean body mass index was 31±5 kg/m2. All but one participant were using noninsulin glucose-lowering medications. Self-reported mean hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) decreased from 7.3±1.1% prior to starting Loop to 6.0±0.5% on Loop. Time in range 70-180 mg/dL increased from 84% to 93%. The amount of time in hypoglycemia was extremely low prior to and with Loop (time <54 mg/dL was 0.04±0.06% versus 0.09±0.07%, respectively). No severe hypoglycemia or diabetic ketoacidosis events were reported while using Loop. These data, though limited, suggest that the Loop system is likely to be effective when used by individuals with T2D and should be evaluated in large scale studies.
