About this trial

Based on the difficulties in blood glucose control among the Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA) population and the deficiencies of previous studies, this research aims to conduct a clinical comparative study. The short-term blood glucose control effects of the closed-loop system and the combination of a conventional insulin pump and Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) in hospitalized LADA patients will be evaluated to explore the clinical application value of these methods in LADA patients. Moreover, this study aims to provide a more precise and personalized blood glucose management plan for LADA patients. As a slowly progressive subtype of autoimmune type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), LADA patients have significant differences in pathological characteristics, clinical needs, and treatment effects compared with classical T1DM patients. However, they also face huge challenges in blood glucose management. This study will focus on LADA patients for the first time, especially the group of hospitalized patients, to fill the gap in this field. Meanwhile, by introducing the cutting-edge closed-loop system technology, it will provide new ideas and solutions for the clinical blood glucose management of LADA patients. Through a comparative analysis of the short-term blood glucose control effects of the closed-loop system and the combination of a conventional insulin pump and CGM, this study aims to provide more precise and personalized treatment strategies for LADA patients and promote the further development of diabetes treatment technologies.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Hybrid Closed-Loop Artificial Pancreas System

    Other intervention

    Hybrid Closed-Loop Artificial Pancreas System Group: Uses an open-source system with Novo Nordisk ultra-rapid-acting insulin (approval: J20050097, 3 mL: 300 U). Daily insulin dose calculated at 0.3-0.6 U/(kg\*d) based on weight; system auto-adjusts basal rate. Physicians prescribe bolus doses, entered by nurses via AAPS software. Glucose correction uses CGM + 4 daily capillary tests (fasting, 2h post-meal). AAPS features hypoglycemia prediction suspend (pauses basal if glucose ≤4.4 mmol/L, resumes upon recovery) and alarms (\<3.9 mmol/L, ensures nighttime alert).

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Time required to achieve 70% TIR

Time in Range (TIR) refers to the percentage of time that blood glucose levels are within the target range of 3.9 to 10.0 mmol/L. The calculation formula is: TIR = (Time within the target range / Total time) × 100%

Time frame
2 years
2

TIR achievement rate after 5 days of treatment

Time in Range (TIR) refers to the percentage of time that blood glucose levels are within the target range of 3.9 to 10.0 mmol/L. The calculation formula is: TIR = (Time within the target range / Total time) × 100%

Time frame
5 days

Secondary outcomes

1

Blood Glucose Control Rate

The criteria for blood glucose target achievement are as follows: fasting blood glucose should be controlled within 4.0 - 7.0 mmol/L, postprandial blood glucose within 5.0 - 10.0 mmol/L, and blood glucose before going to bed within 4.4 - 7.8 mmol/L. The rate of blood glucose target achievement within 1 week of intensive insulin therapy will be statistically analyzed. The calculation formula is: Rate of blood glucose target achievement = (Number of patients achieving blood glucose targets / Total number of patients) × 100%

Time frame
2 years
2

Time Below Range (TBR)、Time Above Range (TAR)

Time below the blood glucose target range, which is the percentage of time that blood glucose is below the target range of 3.9 mmol/L. The calculation formula is: TBR = (Time when blood glucose \< 3.9 mmol/L in the target range / Total time) × 100%. Time above the blood glucose target range, which is the percentage of time that blood glucose is above the target range of 10.0 mmol/L. The calculation formula is: TAR = (Time when blood glucose \> 10.0 mmol/L in the target range / Total time) × 100%.

Time frame
2 years
3

Hypoglycemia Incidence Rate

The diagnostic criterion for hypoglycemia is a blood glucose level of 3.0 - 3.9 mmol/L. The hypoglycemia incidence rates during the treatment process in the two groups will be counted and compared. The diagnostic criterion for severe hypoglycemia is a blood glucose level \< 3.0 mmol/L. The severe hypoglycemia incidence rates during the treatment process in the two groups will be counted and compared.

Time frame

Inter-quartile Range (IQR) of Blood Glucose

The 25th and 75th percentile values of the blood glucose fluctuation range (inter - quartile range, IQR).
