Real world hybrid closed-loop discontinuation: Predictors and perceptions of youth discontinuing the 670G system in the first 6 months.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To describe predictors of hybrid closed loop (HCL) discontinuation and perceived barriers to use in youth with type 1 diabetes.

Subjects

Youth with type 1 diabetes (eligible age 2-25 y; recruited age 8-25 y) who initiated the Minimed 670G HCL system were followed prospectively for 6 mo in an observational study.

Research design and methods

Demographic, glycemic (time-in-range, HbA1c), and psychosocial variables [Hypoglycemia Fear Survey (HFS); Problem Areas in Diabetes (PAID)] were collected for all participants. Participants who discontinued HCL (<10% HCL use at clinical visit) completed a questionnaire on perceived barriers to HCL use.

Results

Ninety-two youth (15.7 ± 3.6 y, HbA1c 8.8 ± 1.3%, 50% female) initiated HCL, and 28 (30%) discontinued HCL,
