Abstract
To compare the results with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) versus multiple daily injections (MDI) of insulin in the treatment of type 1 diabetes during 18 months of follow-up. We prospectively studied 29 patients with type 1 diabetes in Brazil; 17 patients elected to change from conventional insulin therapy (2 injections daily) (N = 3) or MDI (N = 14) to CSII therapy, and the other 12 continued to receive MDI therapy. All patients were treated with insulin lispro; patients in the MDI treatment group also received NPH insulin. We compared hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) values, determined at baseline and every 3 months, between the two treatment groups. Other variables analyzed included weight, body mass index, total daily dose of insulin, and incidence of severe hypoglycemia. Patients in the CSII group had a significant decrease (P<0.001) in mean HbA1c at 18 months in comparison with baseline (8.3% versus 6.5%). In the MDI group, no significant changes were found in mean HbA1c. After 3 months of treatment, patients in the CSII group had a significantly lower mean HbA1c level than did patients receiving MDI (P<0.05). Of the 17 patients treated with CSII, all had HbA1c values less than 7.5% at 18 months, and 13 (76%) had ...Continue Reading
