Secondary Pancreatic Diabetes Clinical Trial
Official title:
Closed-loop Insulin Delivery Systems ("Artificial Pancreas") in Patients With Pancreatitis or Pancreatectomy-induced Diabetes: an Observational Case Series
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the metabolic and the safety outcomes in people living with pancreatic diabetes (pancreatitis or pancreatectomy-induced diabetes) and using a closed-loop insulin delivery systems ("artificial pancreas").
Secondary pancreatic diabetes is an unstable diabetes, due to deficiency in B cells which produce insulin, alpha cells which produce glucagon, and exorcrine insufficiency. Patients with secondary pancreatic diabetes are exposed to high glycemic variability and severe hypoglycemic episodes. Hybrid closed loop treatment has shown efficacy and safety for patients with type 1 diabetes and has the potential to improve the control of secondary pancreatic diabetes but has rarely been studied in this particular indication. A retrospective observational cohort study in patients will be contucted suffering from secondary pancreatic diabetes in whom this device was implemented in order to observe metabolic and safety outcomes compared to the period before they were treated with hybrid closed-loop system. ;
