Brief summary

Glycemic control in surgical patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) receiving parenteral nutrition represents a major clinical challenge. This randomized controlled trial evaluates the comparative effectiveness and safety of hybrid closed-loop (HCL) insulin delivery versus conventional insulin pumps combined with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in perioperative T2DM patients requiring short-term parenteral nutrition.

Detailed description

This study is a single-center, open-label, 1:1 randomized controlled exploratory trial. Participants were randomly allocated via complete randomization into two groups: the experimental group (hybrid closed-loop insulin delivery system) and the control group (using identical hardware devices, with the experimental group operating in closed-loop mode while the control group in open-loop mode). The intervention duration ranged from 5 to 7 days, adjusted based on glycemic control status, aiming to compare the efficacy and clinical benefits of hybrid closed-loop insulin delivery versus insulin pumps combined with CGM for glycemic management.

Interventions

Perioperative patients with T2D receiving parenteral nutrition will receive hybrid closed-loop insulin delivery system for glycemic management.

DEVICEconventional insulin pumps combined with CGM

Perioperative patients with T2D receiving parenteral nutrition will receive conventional insulin pumps combined with CGM for glycemic management.

Glycemic control criteria (meeting any of the following): ①HbA1c ≥7.5% or random plasma glucose ≥13.9 mmol/L * Established T2DM with poor glycemic control (HbA1c ≥7.5%) despite combination therapy (≥2 oral antidiabetic drugs) ③Insulin-treated patients with suboptimal control (HbA1c ≥7.0%) after adequate dose adjustment. 4. Willing to sign the informed consent form.

Exclusion criteria

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
CGM-measured Time in Range (TIR 5.6-10.0 mmol/L)Up to 28 daysThe difference in percentage of time spent within target glucose range (5.6-10.0 mmol/L) between groups, as continuously monitored by a CGM device, to evaluate the effectiveness of hybrid closed-loop insulin delivery versus control in improving glycemic control for perioperative T2DM patients receiving parenteral nutrition.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Time above range (TAR) >10.0 mmol/LUp to 28 daysThe difference in the CGM-measured percentage of time with sensor glucose values \> 10.0 mmol/L between group
Time above range (TAR) >20.0 mmol/LUp to 28 daysThe difference in the CGM-measured percentage of time with sensor glucose values \> 20.0 mmol/L between group
Time below range (TBR) <5.6 mmol/LUp to 28 daysThe difference in the CGM-measured percentage of time with sensor glucose values \<5.6 mmol/L between groups
Time below range (TBR) < 3.9 mmol/LUp to 28 daysThe difference in the CGM-measured percentage of time with sensor glucose values \<3.9 mmol/L between groups
Time below range (TBR) < 3.0 mmol/LUp to 28 daysThe difference in the CGM-measured percentage of time with sensor glucose values \<3.0 mmol/L between groups
Time below range (TBR) < 2.8 mmol/LUp to 28 daysThe difference in the CGM-measured percentage of time with sensor glucose values \<2.8 mmol/L between groups
CGM-measured Glucose Standard Deviation (SD)Up to 28 daysThe difference in the CGM-measured glucose standard deviation between groups. Standard Deviation represents how much glucose levels fluctuate over time from a given average.
CGM-Measured Glucose Coefficient of Variation (CV)Up to 28 daysThe difference in the CGM-measured glucose coefficient of variation (CV) between groups. The CV is calculated as the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean glucose values for each participant, derived from CGM data.
CGM-Measured Glucose Risk Index (GRI)Up to 28 daysThe CGM-measured glucose risk index (GRI) between groups. GRI is a comprehensive metric derived from CGM data, designed to quantify the overall risk associated with blood glucose variability. It integrates multiple aspects of glucose levels, including the frequency and severity of both hypo- and hyperglycemic events, as well as the duration of time spent outside the target glucose range.
Insulin doseUp to 28 daysThe difference in the insulin dose between groups
Preoperative optimization duration (days)Up to 28 daysThe difference in the preoperative optimization duration between groups
Time in range (TIR) 4.4-10.0 mmol/LUp to 28 daysThe difference in percentage of time spent within target glucose range (4.4-10.0 mmol/L) between groups, as continuously monitored by a CGM device, to evaluate the effectiveness of hybrid closed-loop insulin delivery versus control in improving glycemic control for perioperative T2DM patients receiving parenteral nutrition.
