Impact of changes in diabetes care models and advanced technologies on two-year glycemic control after COVID-19 lockdown in adults with Type 1 Diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

The COVID-19 pandemic led to significant shifts in lifestyle and clinical management for individuals with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) that, during the COVID-19 lockdown, showed an improved glycemic control, characterized by increased time-in-range (TIR) and reduced glucose variability. This study aimed to assess the long-term trends and factors influencing glycemic control over two years post-lockdown in adults with T1D.

Methods

A longitudinal study was conducted on 207 adults with T1D (mean age 38 ± 13 years), with 50.2% using multiple daily insulin injections and 49.8% on continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) metrics-including TIR, time-above-range (TAR); time-below-range (TBR), and coefficient of variation (CV)- were assessed before,
