Overview
To analyze the effect of heatwaves on interstitial glucose in adult patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus treated with artificial pancreas
Description
Observational retrospective study to analyze the effect of heatwaves on interstitial glucose in adult patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus treated with advanced hybrid closed-loop systems in the Castilla-La Mancha region (southcentral Spain). Main objective is the difference in time in range of intersticial glucose between 3.0-10 mmol/L (70-180 mg/d) measured throught real-time continuous glucose monitoring during the two consecutive greatest heatwave during summer 2024 (5th-26th August) comparted to the following period (27th August to 17th September). Data analysis is conducted using SPSS (Chicago, IL) statistics software. Results are presented as mean ± SD values or percentages. A paired Student's t-test or a Wilcoxon signed-rank test were used for the analysis of differences. Comparisons between proportions were analyzed using a chi-squared test. A P value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The protocol was approved by the reference Castilla-La Mancha Public Health Institute Ethic Committee.
