INTRODUCTION: The aim of the study was to assess the differences in key parameters of type 1 diabetes (T1D) control associated with treatment and monitoring modalities including newly introduced hybrid closed-loop (HCL) algorithm in children and adolescents with T1D (CwD) using the data from the population-wide pediatric diabetes registry ČENDA. METHODS: CwD younger than 19 years with T1D duration >1 year were included and divided according to the treatment modality and type of CGM used: multiple daily injection (MDI), insulin pump without (CSII) and with HCL function, intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM), real-time CGM (rtCGM), and intermittent or no CGM (noCGM). HbA1c, times in glycemic ranges, and glucose risk index (GRI) were compared between the groups. RESULTS: Data of a total of 3,251 children (mean age 13.4 ± 3.8 years) were analyzed. 2,187 (67.3%) were treated with MDI, 1,064 (32.7%) with insulin pump, 585/1,064 (55%) with HCL. The HCL users achieved the highest median TIR 75.4% (IQR 6.3) and lowest GRI 29.1 (7.8), both p < 0.001 compared to other groups, followed by MDI rtCGM and CSII groups with TIR 68.8% (IQR 9.0) and 69.0% (7.5), GRI 38.8 (12.5) and 40.1 (8.5), respectively (nonsignificant to each other). These three groups did not significantly differ in their HbA1c medians (51.8 [IQR 4.5], 50.7 [4.5], and 52.7 [5.7] mmol/mol, respectively). NoCGM groups had the highest HbA1c and GRI and lowest TIR regardless of the treatment modality. CONCLUSION: This population-based study shows that the HCL technology is superior to other treatment modalities in CGM-derived parameters and should be considered as a treatment of choice in all CwD fulfilling the indication criteria.

OBJECTIVE: Increased access to modern technologies is not always accompanied by a decrease in HbA1c. The aim of this study was to identify changes in the proportion of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) users since 2017, when general reimbursement for CGM became effective in Czechia, and to test whether HbA1c is associated with the percentage of time spent on CGM. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: All T1D children in the Czech national ČENDA registry (3197 children) were categorized according to their time spent on CGM and associations with age, sex, center size, and HbA1c were tested with calendar year as a stratification factor. RESULTS: The proportion of children with any CGM use increased from 37.9% in 2017 to 50.3% in 2018 and 74.8% in 2019. Of the CGM users, 16%, 28%, and 41% of the children spent >70% of their time on CGM over the 3 years of the study period, with an overrepresentation of children in the <10 years age group versus the older age groups (p < 0.001). The proportion of CGM users differed among centers and was positively associated with a large center size (>100 patients) (p < 0.001). HbA1c was negatively associated with the time spent on CGM (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: A rapid increase in CGM use was reported over the 3 years after general reimbursement. HbA1c was associated with time spent on CGM, a continuing decrease was observed in the >70% category. Reimbursement for CGM likely contributes to the improvement of T1D control at the population level.

OBJECTIVES: The Czech National Childhood Diabetes Register (ČENDA) is a web-based nationwide database that collects treatment and outcome data in children and adolescents with diabetes. Here, we present data from the first 5 years of ČENDA (2013-2017). METHODS: Data include characteristics of disease onset and annual summaries of key clinical care parameters from every patient treated by participating pediatric diabetes outpatient clinics. RESULTS: The database contains data of 4361 children (aged 0-19 years) from 52 centers (85% of all Czech pediatric patients). Of these, 94% had type 1 diabetes (T1D), 4.5% had genetically proven monogenic or secondary, and 1.5% had type 2 diabetes. In children with T1D, median glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) decreased throughout the observed period from 66.3 to 61.0 mmol/mol (P < .0001, 95% confidence interval [CI] for change -5.6 to -4 mmol/mol). Consequently, the proportion of children reaching the target therapeutic goal of 58.5 mmol/mol increased from 28% in 2013 to 40% in 2017. The proportion of children treated with insulin pumps (CSII) remained stable over the observed period (25%). In a subanalysis of 1602 patients (long-standing T1D diagnosed before 2011), the main predictors associated with lower HbA1c were treatment with CSII, male sex and care provided at a large diabetes center (>100 patients). CONCLUSIONS: A significant continuous decrease in HbA1c was observed in Czech children over the past 5 years. As this improvement was not accompanied by appreciable changes in the mode of therapy, we assume that the establishment of our nationwide register has itself constituted a stimulus towards improvement in the care process.
