Abstract

background tight glycemic control is essential for the normal growth and development of preschool children. the aim of our study was to evaluate the impact of advanced hybrid closed loop (AHCL) systems in a real-life setting in children younger than 6 years. methods we conducted a two-center prospective study. we enrolled 19 patients with a median age at disease onset of 2.6 years [interquartile range (IQR) 1.6; 4.4] and a median disease duration of 1.4 years (IQR 0.9; 2.8) who were switched to AHCL from multiple daily injections or open-loop insulin therapy and with a 6-month follow-up. clinical data, sensor glycemic metrics, and pump settings were collected and analyzed. results after 6 months of follow-up, there was a significant reduction in median HbA1c (p = 0.0007) and glucose management indicator (p = 0.03). a reduction in both mild (>180 mg/dL) (p = 0.04) and severe (>250 mg/dL) (p = 0.01) hyperglycemia was observed after 1 month of auto mode, and in mild hyperglycemia, it persisted up to 6 months (p = 0.02). a small increase in time below range (<70 mg/dL) was observed (p = 0.04) without a significant difference in time <54 mg/dL (p = 0.73). time in range increased significantly, reaching a 10% increment (p = 0.03) compared with baseline. a significant reduction in the average sensor glucose was observed (p = 0.01) while coefficient of glucose variability (CV%) remained stable (p = 0.12). no episodes of ketoacidosis or severe hypoglycemia have been recorded. conclusion AHCL systems are effective and safe for children younger than 6 years and should be considered as a valid therapeutic option from diabetes onset.
