| Sumario: | Aim. To summarize practical experience of insulin pump therapy (IPT) in child population of Krasnoyarsk and to assess its efficacy for treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in paediatrics. Materials and Methods. We performed a comparative analysis of clinical and laboratory data from 48 children with T1DM prior to and after 6-12 months of IPT. Results. IPT yielded fourfold decrease in complaints of hyperglycemia and labile glycemia without concurrent increase in reports of severe hypoglycemia. We observed a trend for lowering of mean HbA1c levels, where 65% of patients showed positive dynamics in comparison with the period of multiple daily injection regimen. Interestingly, after 6-12 months of IPT, insulin requirement dropped in most patients. Conclusion. Our data support clinical efficiency and safety of IPT, as well as superiority of this treatment over multiple daily injection regimen. We conclude that IPT is a treatment of choice for children with T1DM. |
