977-P: Alleviating Carbohydrate Counting with a FiASP-and-Pramlintide Artificial Pancreas: A Randomized Pilot Study

Objective: The aim of this pilot study was to assess if a FiASP-and-pramlintide artificial pancreas (AP) could alleviate the need for CHO counting by using a simple meal announcement system (pressing a button, no CHO counting) without degrading glycemic control. Methods: We conducted a 24-hour inpatient, randomized, crossover, non-inferiority, pilot study to compare (i) FiASP AP with full CHO counting (FCC) and CHO-matched boluses with (ii) FiASP-and-pramlintide AP with simple meal announcement (SMA). Pramlintide and FiASP were delivered in a basal-bolus manner using a fixed ratio (1U: 10µg). Results: Seven participants (age 26.2±16, HbA1c 8.4±0.8%) were included in the analysis. The time in range (3.9-10 mmol/L) was 85.7% (IQR: [72-93]) in the FCC arm and 87.3% [75-95] in the SMA arm (p=0.21). Time spent >10mmol/L did not differ between interventions (FCC: 11.4% [0.9-22], SMA: 10.1% [3.1-25], p=0.38). Time Conclusions: The FiASP-and-pramlintide SMA system has the potential of reducing the burden of CHO counting without degrading glucose control. Outpatient studies are warranted. Disclosure M.
