Brief Summary:
A Cluster-controlled Intervention Trial regarding Prevention of Dermatological Complications towards use of Continuous glucose monitoring and insulin pumps in pediatric patients with Type 1 Diabetes. The patients will be followed prospectively with visits every 3rd month for the first year of initiation of device. Besides a standardized treatment plan if dermatological complications evolve, will be used.
Detailed Description:
Background Unfortunately it has been shown earlier that dermatological complications are a huge challenge towards treatment with CSII and CGM in children. A preceding cross-sectional study in Danish patients showed that 90% of the 143 pediatric patients using CSII had experienced dermatological complications. Of those more than 60% currently had visible skin reaction due to the CSII. Dermatological complications to CSII were associated to atopic diseases and use of pump treatment for a longer period. For patients using CGM, 80% reported dermatological complications to the treatment, the most frequent being itching affecting more than 70%. Furthermore, 46% had at least one site with skin reaction due to CGM.
In the future, the use of artificial pancreas with closed-loop systems will still be dependent on the use of patches to fasten infu-sion sets and sensors. This skin complications poses a major challenge that must be investigated to reduce the overall burden of this chronic disease. The investigators have conducted a focus group study, which has given new insight into the perception of dermatological complications and further in-depth understanding of potential disease mechanisms regarding development of dermatological complications. No studies exist relating to prevention, consequences and treatment of dermatological complications in the setting of adhesive systems in T1D treatment.
Risk factors for development of dermatological complications are not well-known yet. Therefore, the investigators aim to create a possibly preventive screening tool based on a prospective study to guide future clinicians in whom patients are in risk of dermatological complications during use of CSII and CGM. This could help in guidance of which patients to give more information, preventive treatment or a more skin-sensitive CSII/CGM-system.
The hypothesis is that intensive information and proper skin care prior and during the initiation of CSII and CGM use, can reduce the dermatological
Study design This study is a prospective longitudinal study and will be the first longitudinal study concerning dermato-logical complications in a T1D population. It is a trial based on experience from pre-ceding cross-sectional study. The study is also a cluster-controlled intervention trial and will be the first interventional study regarding dermatological complications too. The intervention consists of intensive information about dermatological complications and possible preventive actions with skin moisturizing use. The cluster-controlling will include clusters defined by all patients from same de-partment. Patients enrolled from Herlev and Gentofte University Hospital will constitute the intervention group. Besides, a subgroup of the intervention group will be randomized to the ultrasound-skin-sites-intervention.
Justification for study design:
Dermatological complications construct a major challenge in diabetes technology especially among children and adolescents. To identify the modifiable or non-modifiable risk factors a prospective longitudinal study-design must be carried out. The longitudinal study-design will be combined with the interventional study to make the most of participants effort since the participants anyway will be investigated the first 12 months of their use of CSII and/or CGM/FGM. The interventional design could give important information regarding the possible effects of proper information and support regarding dermatological skin care and complications. And hopefully this could be a cheap way to reduce the dermatological complications.
