Predictors of Nocturnal Hypoglycemia During the Run In Phase of the ASPIRE 2 Study Bruce W. Bode 1, Scott W. Lee 2, Francine R. Kaufman 2, ASPIRE In Home Study Group 1, Atlanta Diabetes Associates, Atlanta, GA; 2, Medtronic, Inc., Northridge, CA Background Results (updated after study completion) Summary In an attempt to mitigate hypoglycemia, particularly that which occurs at night, sensor augmented pump systems have been developed that allow for automatic insulin suspension at a preset sensor glucose threshold (Threshold Suspend, TS, previously referred to as Low Glucose Suspend). Previous studies have shown the benefit of the TS feature in mitigating hypoglycemia. The present study was conducted to examine the safety and efficacy of the TS feature in a randomized, controlled study in which the study patient population was enhanced for nocturnal hypoglycemia. Data from those who completed the run in period of this study were used to examine predictors of hypoglycemia. Methods Screened (414) Entered Run in Phase (2 weeks) (320) Completed Run In Phase (314) Randomized (247) Screen failures or withdrawals (94) Withdrawals and Randomization Failures (73) Patient Characteristics (N=314 patients who completed the Run-In Phase) Age, 43.6 ± 13.83 years (range, 16-70) Sex, 60.2% female Race, 96.5% white Height, 169.9 ± 9.76 cm (range, 137.2-195.6) Weight, 79.5 ± 16.01 kg (range, 48.7-137.3) BMI, 27.5 ± 4.82 kg/m 2 (range, 19.2-51.5) Diabetes duration, 26.9 ± 12.69 years (range, 2.4-61.8) The incidence of NH was higher in patients with lower baseline A1C values and higher glycemic variability (GV). The findings of higher rates of NH in younger patients, patients with shorter diabetes duration, and patients with lower BMI appears to result from greater GV in these patients. Gender and race had no effect on NH. Conclusion The rate of NH events was 0.3 per patient night. The tables show variables examined More than in 3 months association CGM: with 56.7% the mean (±SD) number of NH events per patient per 2 week interval. N, number of NH events in each patient category. The total number of NH events was 314. GV, glycemic variability.

The 95% CI of the difference in A1C (-0.05, 0.15) did not include the non-inferiority limit of 0.4%.
Summary The TS feature improves upon SAP therapy by significantly reducing NH. Reduction in mean event AUC. Reduced percentage of time spent with SG values in the hypoglycemic range. Decreased number of NH events per week No deterioration in A1C with TS use. Low risk of severe rebound hyperglycemia following 2-hour TS events. No severe hypoglycemia in TS feature group
Conclusion Automating insulin delivery appears to be an effective and safe strategy to reduce hypoglycemia.
