Benefits of CSII • Reduces A1C and incidence of hypoglycaemia in children • Does not increase the incidence of DKA • Offers flexibility, choice and a better quality of life for children and their families
Insulin Pump Therapy Offers Flexibility, Choice and a Better Quality of Life for Children and Their Families Challenges Specific to Children CSII Benefits Of 291 patients (mean duration of CSII 3.7 ± 1.9 years), 92.8% remained on Insulin Pump Therapy Scrimgeour L, et al..

NICE and insulin pumps • Initial NICE guidelines published in 2003 • Guidelines revised in 2008
CSII for ≥12 years • Attempts to achieve target HbA1c levels with multiple daily injections (MDIs) result in the person experiencing disabling hypoglycaemia • (disabling hypoglycaemia is defined as the repeated and unpredictable occurrence of hypoglycaemia that results in persistent anxiety about recurrence and is associated with a significant adverse effect on quality of life) or • HbA1c levels have remained high (that is, at 8.5% or above) on MDI therapy despite a high level of care.
CSII < 12 years • MDI therapy is considered to be impractical or inappropriate, and • children on insulin pumps would be expected to undergo a trial of MDI therapy between the ages of 12 and 18 years.
NICE guidelines • Estimated that pumps may be clinically indicated for: • 10-50% children < 12 years • 8-15% > 12 years
Implications for diabetes services • How will the services develop to provide best service for patients • Who will be offering an insulin pump service • Training issues
Where do we see the paediatric insulin pump service in the region in 10 years time?
