Evaluation of a Clinical Tool to Test and Adjust the Programmed Overnight Basal Profiles for Insulin Pump Therapy: A Pilot Study

Abstract Objective Clinical protocols for basal rate testing and adjustment are needed for effective insulin pump therapy. We evaluated the effects of a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)-based semiautomated basal algorithm on glycemia. Methods We developed and piloted a basal rate analyzer that in...

Zusammenfassung:Abstract Objective Clinical protocols for basal rate testing and adjustment are needed for effective insulin pump therapy. We evaluated the effects of a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)-based semiautomated basal algorithm on glycemia. Methods We developed and piloted a basal rate analyzer that interpreted CGM data from overnight fasts and recommended dose changes for subsequent nights. Subjects uploaded data online using sensor-augmented pumps for evaluation by the analyzer after each of 5 overnight fasts conducted over 2 to 8 weeks. It was designed to be conservative and iterative, making changes that did not exceed 10% at each iteration. The standard deviation and interquartile range of CGM values from midnight to 7 am (SD12-7am and IQR12-7am ) over 3 baseline and 3 postintervention nights, hypoglycemia incidence (CGM values
