Continuous Intraperitoneal Insulin Infusion for People With Type 1 Diabetes: A Literature Review and International Position Statement.

Achieving glucose targets without hypoglycaemia is the treatment goal in type 1 diabetes. Structured education, intensified insulin injection regimens, continuous glucose monitoring, automated insulin delivery, and ongoing support from a multidisciplinary team all support people with type 1 diabetes to achieve this goal. Despite these advances, significant barriers to achieving optimal management remain. Continuous intraperitoneal insulin infusion has comparable or better glucose outcomes to continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion and may reduce the frequency of hypoglycaemia, including severe episodes. Intraperitoneal insulin may be considered as a treatment modality for children and adults with type 1 diabetes using optimised intensive insulin therapy for whom subcutaneous insulin has failed due to lipoatrophy, -dystrophy or -hypertrophy, local allergy, subcutaneous insulin resistance or co-existing skin conditions. Failure of subcutaneous insulin may result in recurrent or unexplained severe hypoglycaemia or hyperglycaemia. Intraperitoneal insulin may also be considered as a treatment modality for people with type 1 diabetes with severe needle-phobia, and for those being considered for islet cell or pancreatic transplantation, or where transplantation is not available. This paper summarises current intraperitoneal insulin delivery technology, its potential risks and benefits, and an expert position statement. It is intended for use by diabetes specialist healthcare professionals, and as a reference for other healthcare professionals, commissioners, payors, people with diabetes, their carers, and advocates.

Evolution of the Artificial Pancreas: Components and Integration-CGMs, Insulin, and AP Systems.

The landmark Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) showed that glucose control is critical to reducing the risk of diabetes-related complications. This chapter outlines a series of innovations and investigations that followed the DCCT, aimed at minimizing the risk of hypoglycemia while further improving glucose control. The chapter presents an example of innovations in wired enzyme technology that facilitated the movement from capillary glucose monitoring to continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and ultimately, the first-factory calibrated CGM system. The next glycemic management innovation was to connect CGM data to an insulin pump containing an algorithm able to adjust insulin delivery based on the changing glucose levels and trends. The key features of automated insulin delivery (AID) systems, currently approved in the United States, are presented. The AID summary table includes type of pump, type and function of the insulin delivery algorithm, the data management system, and the indications for use. The next section explores the innovation of alternative routes of insulin delivery to move toward the goal of a fully automated insulin delivery system. The main trials in developing and implementing an implantable intraperitoneal programmable system are summarized. The last section explores if sensor input in addition to glucose levels such as continuous sensing of ketone, lactate, or insulin levels may provide valuable feedback to move us closer to a fully autonomous AID system. Much of this diabetes innovation and investigation work has been supported by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases over that last 75 years.

Effect of environmental temperature on glucose-induced insulin response in the newborn rat.

Blood glucose and plasma insulin and glucagon concentrations were determined in full-term rats delivered by cesarean section and exposed to 37 degrees C. or 24 degrees C. environmental temperature during the first hours of extrauterine life. When newborn rats were maintained at thermal neutrality (37 degrees C.), a transient period of hypoglycemia of two hours occurred, associated with a rapid fall in plasma insulin and a rise in plasma glucagon concentrations. During cold exposure (24 degrees C.), the blood glucose level remained stable over the four hours studied; the decrease of plasma insulin was sluggish while the rise of plasma glucagon was unchanged. In newborn rats maintained at 37 degrees C., an intraperitoneal glucose load one hour after delivery produced a marked rise in blood glucose and plasma insulin concentrations one hour later. The distribution of experimental points suggested a sigmoidal dose-response curve. By contrast in newborn rats kept at room temperature (24 degrees C.) the same glucose load did not induce any increase in plasma insulin in spite of hyperglycemia. However, phentolamine resulted in pronounced plasma insulin rise in hypothermic newborns in response to glucose administration. From these observations it is concluded that the in-vivo unresponsiveness of the beta cells to glucose at birth, reported by others, is mainly due to the experimental conditions.

The peritoneal absorption of insulin in diabetic man: a potential site for a mechanical insulin delivery system.

The potential of the peritoneum as a site for an "artificial beta cell" was studied. Three 14-hr studies were performed in an insulin-dependent diabetic male maintained on chronic peritoneal dialysis. All studies were performed between dialyses and throughout three standard American Diabetes Association (ADA) 600 calorie meals. The degree of insulin absorption from the peritoneal space was assessed by measuring the changes in plasma-free insulin concentration during these studies. The results of this study demonstrate that normalization of plasma insulin profiles may be observed with the administration of insulin into the peritoneal space. This absorbed insulin exerts hypoglycemic activity that suppresses the meal-induced rise in plasma glucose concentration. Thus, the peritoneal space may be a feasible route into which insulin may be delivered by an artificial beta cell.
