The durability and effectiveness of sensor-augmented insulin pump therapy in pediatric and young adult patients with type 1 diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Despite the prevalent use of insulin pump therapy worldwide, few studies have been conducted among young patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in Korea. We investigated the durability and effectiveness of insulin pump therapy among Korean pediatric and young adult patients with T1D.

Methods

This study included 54 patients with T1D diagnosed at pediatric ages (range, 1.1-14.1 years) who initiated insulin pump therapy during 2016-2019 at Seoul National University Children's Hospital and Seoul National University Bundang Hospital. Clinical and biochemical data, including anthropometric measurements, insulin dose, and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels were obtained from T1D diagnosis to last follow-up.

Results

Forty-four patients (81.5%) continued insulin pump ther
