Hybrid Closed Loop Insulin Delivery System Treatment for Adults and Adolescents with Type One Diabetes Mellitus: A Systematic Review

Abstract

Objective: To review current literature that assesses the effectiveness of hybrid closed loop insulin pumps at improving time in range (TIR) and HbA1C for adults and adolescents with Type One Diabetes Meletus (T1D). Methods: Literature gathered through PubMed and CINAHL databases was reviewed for associations between HCL and improved TIR along with HbA1C in adults and adolescents with T1D. Results: HCL showed a strong relationship between improved TIR and HbA1C in adults and adolescents with T1D. Discussion: All studies showed a strong association between HCL and improved TIR along with HbA1C. These findings should influence the way health care providers treat T1D.
