Effectiveness of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion versus multiple daily injections on glycaemic control among older adults with type 2 diabetes: protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Insulin therapy plays an irreplaceable role in glycaemic control among older adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and can be administered by either multiple daily injections (MDI) of insulin or by a continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) pump. Many clinical trials have compared the effects of CSII pumps and MDI in various diabetic populations, but there has been no systematic review and meta-analysis focusing on older adults with T2DM. This study aims to determine whether the CSII pump is associated with better glycaemic control relative to the MDI in older adults with T2DM.
