Background: Hybrid closed loop (HCL) insulin systems are associated with better glycaemic control and reduced hypoglycaemia risk. They represent the most advanced form of insulin delivery for people with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).
Aim: The study aimed to evaluate effectiveness of 3 HCL systems in children and young people (CYP) with T1DM at Nottingham Childrens Hospital.
Methods: Data on HBA1c, TIR, hypo and hyperglycaemia three months before starting HCL and at 3, 6 and 12 months after HCL commencement were collected from Diasend® system (Glooko), Dexcom Clarity, and Care link (October 2019 - September 2022). Time in Hypoglycaemia (TIHo) and hyperglycaemia (TIHi) percentage were calculated as combination of percentage of low and very low and high and very high respectively.
Results: Patients on HCL n=128; 12-month data available for 98 patients. Mean age 10.5 (4.3) years, 65 boys (50%), diabetes duration 4.2 (3.8) years, 75% White British. Fourteen patients Medtronic MiniMedTM 780G, 30 CamAPS FX (CamDiab, Cambridge, UK), 82 Tandem Control-IQ AP system, 2 DIY Closed Loop (excluded).
3-month prior starting | 3-month after starting HCL | 6 months after HCL | 12 months after HCL | |
Mean HbA1c (mmol/mol) (SD) | 57 (9.7) | 52 (7.3) | 51.4 (7.1) | 51.4 (7.1) |
Mean TIR% | 56.4 | 66.3 | 65.3 | 67.2 |

12 | 24.8 | 29.5 | 29.8 |
Conclusions: Improvements in HBA1c, TIR, and time in hyperglycaemia were seen with HCL for 3 months & was sustained at 12 months in all 3 systems. Comparison within the 3 systems was not possible due to different numbers using each system and confounding factors such as eligibility for a particular system.
