Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
The proportion of time spent in the target glucose range from 5.6 to 10.0 mmol/L
The outcome is based on sensor glucose levels
Assessed from hospital admission until a maximum of 20 days following surgery
Secondary Outcomes (11)
Proportion of time spent with sensor glucose values above target (> 10.0 mmol/L)
Assessed from hospital admission until a maximum of 20 days following surgery
Proportion of time spent with sensor glucose <3.0 mmol/L
Assessed from hospital admission until a maximum of 20 days following surgery
Proportion of time spent with sensor glucose < 3.9 mmol/L
Assessed from hospital admission until a maximum of 20 days following surgery
Average of sensor glucose level
Assessed from hospital admission or until a maximum of 20 days following surgery
Proportion of time spent with sensor glucose below target (< 5.6 mmol/L)
Assessed from hospital admission until a maximum of 20 days following surgery
- +6 more secondary outcomes
Other Outcomes (2)
Number of severe hypoglycaemia (< 2.2 mmol/L)
Assessed from hospital admission until a maximum of 20 days following surgery
Number of clinically significant hyperglycaemic events (>20.0 mmol/L) with ketonaemia (beta-hydroxybutyrate >1.0 mmol/L)
Assessed from hospital admission until a maximum of 20 days following surgery
Study Arms (2)
Closed-loop insulin therapy
EXPERIMENTALIntervention: Use of a fully-automated closed-loop insulin delivery system from day of admission until hospital discharge (or maximum 20 days).
Standard insulin therapy
ACTIVE COMPARATORThe control group will receive insulin therapy in accordance with local practice. The insulin regimen during the study period may involve subcutaneous and/or insulin intravenous insulin administration. The modality of insulin treatment, dose adjustment and frequency of glucose monitoring will be at the discretion of the clinical team. No active treatment optimisation will be undertaken by the study team. Participants in the control group will be fitted with the identical study CGM system. The CGM system will be blinded upon hospital admission.
Interventions
Fully automated closed-loop subcutaneous insulin delivery system. A model predictive controller modulates insulin delivery every 10-12 minutes based on interstitial glucose measurements.
Standard insulin therapy according to local clinical practice.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Age 18 years or over
- Pre-existing or anticipated (surgery-induced) diabetes other than type 1 diabetes
- Expected to require insulin treatment in the perioperative period
- Planned for elective major abdominal surgery at the University Hospital Bern or Basel expected to last ≥ 90 minutes, defined as colorectal, pancreatic, gastric (except bariatric surgery) and hepatic (≥ 2 segments) surgery
You may not qualify if:
- Physical or psychological condition likely to interfere with the normal conduct of the study and interpretation of the study results as judged by the investigator
- Likely discharge earlier than 72 hours
- Known or suspected allergy to insulin used in this clinical trial
- Type 1 diabetes
- Pregnancy, planned pregnancy, or breast feeding
- Lack of safe contraception for female participants of childbearing potential for the entire study duration (medically reliable method of contraception are considered oral, injectable, or implantable contraceptives, intrauterine contraceptive devices, or any other methods judged as sufficiently reliable by the investigator in individual cases).
- Medically documented allergy towards the adhesive (glue) of plasters or unable tolerate tape adhesive in the area of sensor placement
- Serious skin diseases located at places of the body, which potentially are possible to be used for localisation of the glucose sensor
- Illicit drug abuse or prescription drug abuse
- Incapacity to give informed consent
- Not willingness to wear study devices 24/7
- Not literate in German
