Evaluation of Minimed 670G in T1D Patients on Multiple Daily Injection

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Introduction. Sensor Augmented Pump has demonstrated superiority over insulin pump and Multiple Daily Injection (MDI) in achieving optimal glucose control and can improve quality of life in Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) patients. Hybrid closed loop (HCL) insulin pump Minimed 670G is a FDA approved device and European Conformity (CE) mark with SmartGuard technology and closed loop algorithm, which will allow the patients to improve their diabetes management. Hybrid closed loop insulin pump Minimed 670G monitors glucose in the subcutaneous tissues and automatically adjusts the delivery of rapid acting insulin as basal rate based on the user's glucose reading. SmartGuard technology in insulin pump, based on user's sensor glucose values can predict when glucose is approaching low levels, 30 minutes in advance and automatically stop insulin delivery. When user's glucose levels recover, SmartGuard will automatically resume insulin delivery. CareLink is personal software, which downloads the data from insulin pump, glucose sensor and glucometer to visualize diabetes information with charts, statistics and events that help patient and health provider to identify and understand patterns and trends The objective of this study is to assess structured group education on boarding protocol of the HCL Minimed 670 G in achieving glucose control of patients on MDI. Methods. This study is a single-arm, single-center, clinical investigation in subjects with type 1 diabetes on HCL insulin pump (Minimed 670G) in a period of 3 months. A total of 30 subjects (age 6 - 17) will be enrolled in order to reach 26 subjects who will complete the HCL study. The investigators will start the clinical process for initiating an insulin pump, which is typically done with pre-pump classes. HbA1c, derived from CGM will be performed at baseline and 3 months during the study. The following parameters will be analyzed: % patients achieving Time in Range (TIR) > 67% from 70 mg/dl to 180 mg/dl; % patients achieving TIR <3%, below time in range (<70 mg/dl) and % patients achieving both TIR > 67% and <3% time below Range. Collection of demographics and medical history, data for diabetes devices (eg meters, sensors, pumps) and brief clinical physical exam including vital signs and skin assessment will be obtained via Hospital Electronic Medical File (Cerner Millennium, North Kansas City, US) and will be kept as electronic data on a separate research server.

Detailed Description
-----------------
This study is a single-arm, single-center, clinical investigation in subjects with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) on Hybrid Closed Loop (HCL) insulin pump Minimed 670G in a period of 3 months. A total of 30 subjects (age 6 - 17) will be enrolled in order to reach 26 subjects who will complete the HCL study. After reviewing the patient's eligibility and interest, the investigators will obtain informed consent and assent as appropriate. The investigators will start the clinical process for initiating an insulin pump, which is typically done with pre-pump classes. HbA1c, derived from Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) device will be analyzed at baseline and 3 months during the study. Collection of demographics and medical history, data for diabetes devices (eg meters, sensors, pumps) and brief clinical physical exam including vital signs and skin assessment will be obtained via Hospital Electronic Medical File (Cerner Millennium, North Kansas City) and will be kept as electronic data on a separate research server. Base line assessment The main variables checked at baseline: Age Duration of diabetes Total daily insulin (TDI) dose HbA1c, derived from CGM device Recruitment process All patients will be recruited during the regular clinic visits at Diabetes Clinics at Sidra Medicine in Doha. The Principal investigator will evaluate the patient if meets the inclusion criteria during the regular clinic visits. A research assistant will take patient and family in other room to explain the study protocol and give patient information. Parents and patients can ask questions about the study. After the explanation of the study protocol, if parents and child agree to participate, they can sign the documents for including in the study. Parents can also take the documents home to consider the possible inclusion in the study. They can also talk to principal investigator before including the child in the study. If parents agree to be a part of the study, they can call research assistant to include the child in the study. The research assistant will arrange a separate meeting to start the process. Run in period The 2-week run-in period will be used for education and training for the new devices. Week 1: Pump school (Sunday to Thursday) A group session of 2-3 patients/families will be performed to allow subject to become familiar with new insulin pump. Five sessions in a row (each two hours) will be performed during a week. Glucose sensor (Suspend before low and suspend on low will be off) will be started on the first day (Same protocol which is currently used in Sidra Medicine). Topics and education Sunday: Basal Bolus Concept; Operational modes of the pump; Understanding the pump; Pump buttons; Glucose readings; Reading the display; Sensor alerts and alarms; How to insert a sensor; Pump menus Monday: Carelink personal; Battery change; Setting date and time; Basal rates; Pump suspend; Bolus wizard, Bayer Contour Next Link 2.4 Tuesday: Infusion set change; Alarms and alerts; Suspend before low and Suspend of low; Advanced carbs counting Wednesday: Temporary basal; Emergency kit; Low blood sugar; High Blood Sugar; Sick day's management for pump; Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA)' Blood glucose Blood ketones; Exercise; Travel Thursday: Auto Mode; Using Auto Mode for the first time Checking Auto Mode Readiness; sensor graph in Auto Mode' Using pump in Auto Mode; Entering a Blood Glucose value in Auto Mode; Suspending and Resuming Delivery in Auto Mode Evaluation Check List; Pump Care; Setting the pump; Sensor start by patient The sensor will be started the first day for teaching and observational purposes only. CareLink account creation and sharing of access is mandatory in the first week. Week 2: Pump start (Sunday to Sunday) Sensor Augmented Pump will be initiated with both Smart Guard and HCL turned off, to allow the investigators, subjects and device to get more information before starting the HCL. This week will be used as a warm up period for Auto Mode. Study Period 3 Months Following the two week run-in period using the Minimed 670G, Auto Mode will be activated and all subjects will participate in a 3-month study period. The patient/family will upload data into the CareLink system and the data will be reviewed by a member of the clinical team. Adjustments to system settings will be suggested to the family as clinically appropriate. Visit 1- Day 1 In-Clinic visit. Insulin pump will be started in Auto mode.
