PG - 42-50 LID - S0168-8227(18)30399-1 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.diabres.2018.07.035 [doi] AB - AIMS: To assess perceptions of patients using subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) about metabolic control, pump malfunctions, technical and insertion site adverse events (AEs) related to infusion sets/catheters as well as patients' practices. METHODS: Online survey (from June 2016 to January 2017) using an actualized 39-item questionnaire directed to adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) using CSII therapy and living in the province of Quebec, Canada. RESULTS: Participants with T1D (n = 115, 72% females, 39.7 +/- 14.0 years, diabetes duration: 20.9 +/- 12.2 years, CSII use: 6.2 +/- 4.1 years) adequately completed the survey. Infusion sets were changed every 3.3 +/- 0.9 day. Improved glucose control and decreased number/severity of hypoglycemic episodes were reported by 80% and 68%/50% of subjects, respectively. Over the past year of CSII use, participants perceived no increase in anxiety/worry (84%), no negative impact on life (89%) or on time off from work/school (82%). Conversely, many experienced at least one clinical AEs at insertion site [pain (84%), adhesion (76%), irritation (69%), lipodystrophy (45%)] and technical issues [blockage (52%), cannula kinking (50%), pump stop (55%), air bubbles (46%)]. No significant association was observed between catheter wear-time and AEs. All participants had one or more problems related to CSII use, although only 37% reported addressing these issues with health professionals. CONCLUSION: Our study suggests that patients positively perceived CSII use although they experienced a high frequency of clinical and technical AEs. This warrants further attention by health professionals, investigators and manufacturers to optimize CSII therapy. CI - Copyright (c) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
