Artificialpancreas improves bloodsugarcontrol for kids ages 2-6, study finds uva nejm
The Control-IQ system, manufactured by Tandem Diabetes Care, is a diabetes management device that automatically monitors and regulates. The artificial pancreas has an insulin pump that uses advanced control algorithms based on the person's glucose monitoring information to adjust the insulin dose as needed.
"After the resounding success of Control-IQ technology in people ages 6 and up, it is very rewarding to see our youngest patients, and often the most challenging patients to help, benefit as well," said Marc D. Breton, Ph.D., a UVA School of Medicine researcher who served as the trial's principal investigator and was recently honored as UVA's 2022 Innovator of the Year.
On average, the time participants using the artificial pancreas spent within their target blood glucose range was about 12 percentage points higher than participants in the control group overall and 18 percentage points higher during the overnight hours of 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. Nighttime blood glucose control is particularly important, as severe, unchecked hypoglycemia can lead to seizures, coma or even death.
