Continuous glucose monitoring is one of the most significant innovations in the management of type 1 diabetes, allowing for more precise and personalized glycemic control. This thesis aims to analyze and compare two advanced therapeutic approaches: the "Sensor-Augmented Pump" (SAP) therapy and the "Hybrid Closed Loop" (HCL) therapy. SAP therapy combines a glucose sensor with an insulin micropump, while HCL therapy integrates an algorithm that automates basal insulin delivery in response to real-time glucose values.. The analysis was conducted on a dataset of patients with type 1 diabetes, whose data were pre-processed and standardized at 5-minute intervals to ensure consistency in the analyses. The main glycemic control metrics, including time in range, glycemic variability and glycemic risk index (GRI), along with the frequency and duration of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia episodes were evaluated..

Il monitoraggio continuo del glucosio è una delle innovazioni più significative nella gestione del diabete di tipo 1, consentendo un controllo glicemico più preciso e personalizzato. Questa tesi si propone di analizzare e confrontare due approcci terapeutici avanzati: la terapia "Sensor-Augmented Pump" (SAP) e la terapia "Hybrid Closed Loop" (HCL). La terapia SAP combina un sensore di glucosio con un microinfusore di insulina, mentre la terapia HCL integra un algoritmo che automatizza la somministrazione dell'insulina basale in risposta ai valori di glucosio in tempo reale. L'analisi è stata condotta su un dataset di pazienti con diabete di tipo 1, i cui dati sono stati pre-elaborati e uniformati a intervalli di 5 minuti per garantire la coerenza delle analisi. Sono state valutate le principali metriche di controllo glicemico, tra cui il tempo in range, la variabilità glicemica e l'indice di rischio glicemico (GRI), insieme alla frequenza e durata degli episodi di ipoglicemia e iperglicemia. I risultati mostrano una chiara superiorità della terapia HCL rispetto alla SAP. La terapia HCL non solo migliora il mantenimento dei livelli di glucosio entro il range target, ma riduce anche significativamente la variabilità glicemica e il rischio complessivo di complicanze acute. Le evidenze raccolte suggeriscono che l'adozione della terapia HCL possa rappresentare un passo avanti cruciale nella gestione del diabete di tipo 1, offrendo ai pazienti un controllo glicemico più stabile e sicuro, migliorando così la loro qualità di vita e riducendo il rischio di complicanze a lungo termine.

Abstract
Continuous glucose monitoring is one of the most significant innovations in the management of type 1 diabetes, allowing for more precise and personalized glycemic control. This thesis aims to analyze and compare two advanced therapeutic approaches: the "Sensor-Augmented Pump" (SAP) therapy and the "Hybrid Closed Loop" (HCL) therapy. SAP therapy combines a glucose sensor with an insulin micropump, while HCL therapy integrates an algorithm that automates basal insulin delivery in response to real-time glucose values.. The analysis was conducted on a dataset of patients with type 1 diabetes, whose data were pre-processed and standardized at 5-minute intervals to ensure consistency in the analyses. The main glycemic control metrics, including time in range, glycemic variability and glycemic risk index (GRI), along with the frequency and duration of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia episodes were evaluated.. The results show a clear superiority of HCL therapy over SAP. HCL therapy not only improves the maintenance of glucose levels within the target range, but also significantly reduces glycaemic variability and the overall risk of acute complications. Evidence suggests that the adoption of HCL therapy may represent a crucial step forward in the management of type 1 diabetes, offering patients more stable and safe glycemic control, Thus improving their quality of life and reducing the risk of long-term complications.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
