In July of the same year, our four - year - old son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (requiring
multiple insulin
injections daily).
The OpT2mise trial enrolled 495 adults (aged 30 - 75 years) with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes to a 2 month run -
in period, where their insulin
multiple daily injection treatment was optimised.
The researchers found that people who used the pumps achieved a significantly greater reduction
in average blood sugar levels than those who used
multiple daily injections at 6 months (HbA1C difference of -0.7 %).
What is more, the time spent
in hypoglycaemia — when blood sugar becomes extremely low — remained similarly low with pump and
multiple daily injections.
Adolescent sex, age, time since diagnosis, and diabetes regimen (pump vs.
multiple daily injections) were also included as covariates
in all regression analyses because each was correlated with at least one outcome variable.
