A cross-sectional international survey of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion in 377 children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus from 10 countries

Abstract: Pediatric CSII patients show a high variability in their insulin therapy. This relates both to age-dependent differences in the distribution of basal insulin as to the age-independent day-to-day variation in prandial insulin.

“…The results of this study support and extend those of the previous PPSG survey [16], and show that effective glycaemic control, with a low risk of hypoglycaemia, can be achieved with CSII therapy in many children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. Although this survey is limited to some extent by its cross-sectional nature and a lack of a stand- ardised approach to pump therapy in children, it nevertheless gives some insights into successful paediatric pump therapy regimens in a large patient population from 17 countries.…”

“…This approach was used in a previous study from the Pediatric Pump Study Group (PPSG), which collected data retrospectively from 377 children from nine European countries and Israel [16]. This study found high variability, both in agedependent differences in the distribution of basal insulin and in age-independent day-to-day variations in prandial insulin dosing, which was consistent with the variations in glycaemic control that were observed in the Hvidore study [9].…”

“…Unlike insulin pens, continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) or insulin pump therapy mimics the physiological delivery of insulin by using a portable electromechanical pump to infuse insulin at a slow, basal rate over 24 h. In addition, insulin pumps also have a memory function; it is possible to download details of all doses administered during the previous month or more (49). In this regard, the functionality is therefore not comparable to insulin pen devices.…”

“…Insulin pens that dispense half-increment doses, such as BerliPen ® Junior (Berlin-Chemie AG, Berlin, Germany), HumaPen Luxura HD, and NovoPen Junior may therefore be beneficial in this patient group (48). Insulin sensitivity also differs between patient subgroups, exemplified by insulin pump studies showing that younger children (≤6 yr) require smaller doses of insulin/kg compared with older children (>6 yr) (49,50). This emphasises the importance of accurate and convenient insulin delivery devices that can tailor dosing according to the requirements of all paediatric age groups.…”
