Insulin Pumps Not Much Better Than Multiple Injections For Intensive Control Of Type 1 Diabetes
NIHR Signal Insulin pumps not much better than multiple injections for intensive control of type 1 diabetes People with type 1 diabetes offered insulin pumps did not achieve better blood glucose control compared with those using multiple daily injections. Education remains important. While both groups saw improvements in blood glucose levels and fewer hypoglycaemic episodes (very low blood sugar) over two years, only one in four participants met NICE blood glucose targets. Insulin pump users showed some modest improvements in satisfaction, dietary freedom and daily hassle. All participants in this NIHR trial attended a training course on managing their insulin levels before randomisation. This is important because previously observed benefits from pump treatment might actually have been a reflection of the training given to them. Currently just 10% of adults with type 1 diabetes access these training courses. These results support NICE guidelines around the restricted use of insulin pumps and suggest that training improves self-management of the condition. Efforts should therefore be made to encourage training uptake. Continue reading >>

Advanced Insulin Pump Therapy
Suggested CDR Learning Codes: 5190, 5400, 5410; Level 3 Insulin pump therapy is a specialty area of diabetes counseling and management for RDs with an interest in patients with diabetes. A dietitian can become certified with the various insulin pump companies as a certified pump trainer (CPT) and work under the prescription of a physician to assess, teach, and manage insulin pump therapy. This therapy was introduced in the 1970s and has steadily grown both in popularity and respect as an option for achieving glycemic control in patients requiring insulin. An insulin pump is a small programmable device attached to the body via an infusion set consisting of long, thin, flexible tubing with a needle or catheter on the end that the pump wearer inserts subcutaneously. Individuals program and operate the pump to deliver insulin doses matching their specific needs. Insulin pumps deliver insulin continuously in both basal and bolus doses. This continuing education course provides a brief overview of insulin pump therapy and introduces features of advanced insulin pump therapy, including temporary basal rate, alternate basal profile, and square-wave and dual-wave boluses. Indications for the use of advanced insulin pump therapy also are discussed, as is the research covering the use of advanced features in practice. Suggestions for applying the advanced features are provided as well. This program is not approved for continuing education credit for DTRs. Learning Objectives After completing this continuing education course, nutrition professionals should be better able to: Distinguish between basal insulin and bolus insulin with insulin pump therapy. Evaluate indications for using advanced features of insulin pump therapy. Describe the temporary basal rate feature of insulin pump Continue reading >>

Pump Training - Diabetes Self-management
Ask any insulin pump trainer if he has ever seen a pump user with inadequate training and the first response is usually a sigh. I always think of this sign I saw once that said, We fix $8 haircuts,' says Ginger Such, RD, CDE , program director of the Indiana University Diabetes Center in Indianapolis, Indiana, after issuing the obligatory sigh. Pump trainers tell tales of people who dont recognize climbing blood glucose levels as a sign that their pump may be malfunctioning even after giving themselves several doses of insulin with it. Others know of people who have developed diabetic ketoacidosis a life-threatening condition characterized by very high blood glucose after ignoring a low battery alarm at bedtime or failing to check their blood glucose level after changing their infusion set to see if insulin was indeed being delivered. Weve just seen too many people show up here without any training, says Karen Chalmers, MS, RD, CDE, an advanced practice diabetes specialist for nutrition and pumping at the Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston, Massachusetts. Theyre in and out of emergency rooms with high blood glucose levels, low blood glucose levels They have [only] one basal rate and [have had only] one hour of training. They go around bad-mouthing the pump, and the problem is not the pump; they just dont know how to use it. A particularly alarming story was told by Stephen Ponder, MD, CDE, Director of Pediatric Endocrinology/Diabetes at Driscoll Childrens Hospital in Corpus Christi, Texas, who cared for a four-year-old boy airlifted to a hospital at 4 AM because he was having seizures from a low blood glucose level. Dr. Ponder summarized the childs situation as follows: The childs HbA1c level was 10.2%. (The American Diabetes Associations [ADA] recommended target HbA1c l Continue reading >>

To confirm the feasibility of making biomedical and psychosocial measurements over 6 months Six-month data were collected for all 30 participants who completed the pump course and for 17 participants who completed the MDI course. Five MDI patients were lost to follow-up. Pump patients were easier to follow up as they had to return with their pumps at 6 months. All pump patients remained on pumps during the pilot. To obtain data on change in the primary outcome measure to confirm power calculations for the main randomised controlled trial In the entire cohort, HbA1c fell from a mean (SD) of 8.8% (1.7%) at baseline to 8.5% (1.7%) at 6 months (p = 0.041): MDI group: 9.4% (1.7%) to 9.1% (1.8%) (p = 0.20) pump group: 8.3% (1.3%) to 8.0% (1.2%) (p = 0.12). For those patients with a baseline HbA1c level < 7.5% there was no deterioration in HbA1c: MDI group: no participants had a baseline HbA1c level < 7.5% pump group: eight participants had a baseline HbA1c level < 7.5%; mean (SD) HbA1c was 7.0% (0.5%) at baseline and 7.1% (0.6%) at 6 months (p = 0.36). For those patients with a baseline HbA1c level 7.5% HbA1c improved between baseline and 6 months: MDI group: 9.4% (1.7%) to 9.1% (1.8%) (p = 0.20) pump group: 21 participants had a baseline HbA1c level 7.5%; mean (SD) HbA1c was 8.8% (1.1%) at baseline and fell to 8.3% (1.2%) at 6 months (p = 0.05). To obtain data on the effect of DAFNE on hypoglycaemic events and diabetic ketoacidosis Severe hypoglycaemia. At baseline, severe hypoglycaemic episodes within the last year were reported in 10 out of 52 patients, of whom six had one episode, two had two episodes, one had 10 episodes and one had 20 episodes (these last two patients were randomised to insulin pump training). Within the 6-month post-course period, severe hypoglycaemic Continue reading >>

Insulin Pump Training
Diabetes Forum The Global Diabetes Community Find support, ask questions and share your experiences. Join the community Hello! I'm considering enquiring about the insulin pump through my diabetes clinic. What is the typical duration for training for using the insulin pump? On other forums it looks like training time can vary widely from 2 hours to 5 days so I'm interested on hearing other people's experiences! Is it really as good as everyone says? Prior to start date I just had an hours session with the DSN looking at the pump and discussing with them any question and concerns that I had, on the actual start date I went to the clinic at around 9.30am and was home again at lunch pumping insulin, on the day there was the pump rep and the pump DSN in attendance, so not a lot of training but if you read-up on pumps beforehand (the book Pumping Insulin is a great read) you will have all basics to get you started with. Since starting on the pump I've had 2 quick training sessions with the rep, just going through things like getting the most from the various bolus delivery options on the pump and using the TBR facility (temporary basal rate) for times of illness and exercising. If you want to know a bit more about pumps and how it is funded on the NHS have a read of the following @lyndsayob : @catapillar thanks for sharing your experience! Sounds like a good idea to do some research upfront and maybe get some questions together. Has going onto the insulin pump been worth it for you? Worth what? Yes there are hoops to jump through to access a pump and it takes a bit of educating youself to get the most out of your pump, but no actual payment. I don't feel like Ive done any figurative payment to get a pump that it has to be worth. The pump hasn't solved my problems. But I don' Continue reading >>
