1 Clinical Evidence for Insulin Pump Therapy

2 Objective Review the clinical evidence supporting the use of insulin pump therapy Key Points The benefits of CSII are: Improved metabolic control (A1C) Reduced incidence of hypoglycemia Better patient quality of life 2

3 CSII is the most physiological method of insulin delivery currently available -- Consensus statement on use of insulin pumps in pediatrics endorsed by the ADA and European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) Phillip M, Battelino T, Rodriguez H, et al. Diabetes Care. 2007;30:

4 Insulin Pumps Use Only Rapid-Acting Insulin Pharmacodynamic Variability in Insulin Action* Intermediate-acting insulin *Percentages represent the coefficients of variation (CV) for insulin action as measured by the maximum glucose infusion rate in these euglycemic glucose clamp studies 46% Long-acting insulin 36% Rapid-acting insulin 16% Rapid-acting insulin has the lowest intrapatient variability Glucose lowering effect of intermediate and long-acting insulin can vary up to 46%, which explains drastic day-to-day variations in glucose levels despite using the same amount. Heinemann L et al. Diabetes Care. 1998;21: ; Heise T, Nosek L, Rønn BB, et al. Diabetes. 2004; 53:

5 Long Acting and Intermediate Acting Insulin Can Have Similar Variability Scholtz He et al., Diabetologia 1999, 42(Suppl):A235. Abstract

6 Insulin Pumps Work More Like a Healthy Pancreas Users Can Program Multiple Basal Rates According To Daily Routine A typical profile of basal insulin rates in CSII: Many people are more active in the late afternoon, more sedentary after dinner, or hypoglycemic at night, necessitating adjustment to the basal rate.

7 Insulin Pumps Also Deliver Customized Boluses for Different Types of Meals Insulin pumps offer smart calculators to help determine how much bolus insulin is needed, and can deliver precise amounts of insulin based on the amount of carbs to be taken.

8 Some Advantages of Using an Insulin Pump - Quotes from the ADA Insulin pumps deliver insulin more accurately than injections Using an insulin pump eliminates unpredictable effects of intermediate or long-acting insulin Using an insulin pump usually results in fewer large swings in blood glucose levels American Diabetes Association.

CSII Improves A1C Compared with MDI A meta-analysis of 52 studies (1, 547 patients) shows that CSII is significantly more effective in lowering A1C compared to MDI and conventional insulin therapy
