Insulin pump therapy, pre-pump HbA1c and metabolic improvement in children with type 1 diabetes at a tertiary Canadian children’s hospital

---

Indications for insulin pump therapy (IPT) in children with type 1 diabetes
(T1D) are relatively non-specific and therefore subject to provider discretion. Health professionals’
perceptions of which people will have difficulty with IPT, e.g., those with higher HbA1c, may not be
correct. This study examined the effect of IPT on HbA1c, and the role of pre-pump HbA1c on this effect.
Methods: All children with T1D started on IPT at British Columbia Children’s Hospital from January 2011
through June 2016 were included if they had HbA1c values available both before and after IPT (n=125).
