924-P: Predictors of Diabetes-Related Distress following Closed-Loop Initiation in Adults with Type 1 Diabetes in the UK—Insights from the Association of British Clinical Diabetologists



Introduction and Objective: The National Health Service (NHS) England hybrid closed-loop (HCL) pilot provided access to HCL for adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D), managed with an insulin pump and intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring, with a HbA1c ≥8.5%. We assessed the factors associated with improved diabetes-related distress (DRD) at follow up.Methods: Anonymized baseline and follow-up data were collected via a secure online tool. We performed logistic regression on variables including age, gender, ethnicity, multiple deprivation index, weight, body mass index, Gold score, HbA1c, sensor glucometrics, number of sensor scans/day, duration of diabetes and pump therapy, two-item diabetes distress score (DDS2), total daily insulin dose (TDD) and %time in HCL. Analysis was performed in SpSS v29.0.Results: Individuals (n = 298; 29 UK diabetes centres) with high DRD (DDS2 ≥3) at baseline with follow-up DDS2 data were included [72% female; 86% White; median age 37 years (IQR 28-49) and diabetes duration 20 years (IQR 14-28); baseline HbA1c 9.5 ± 0.9%]. After 9 months (IQR 6-20), DRD improved (DDS2 <3) in 205/298 (68.8%) (group A) and remained high in 93/298 (31.2%) (group B). Compared with group B, group A had lower baseline DDS2 (3.8 ± 0.8 vs 4.2 ± 0.9, p = 0.001) and TDD (48.2 ± 21.3 vs 55.3 ± 33.0, p = 0.03); no other significant between-group differences were observed. Improved DRD was inversely associated with baseline DDS2 (B=-0.726, p = 0.03) in the multivariable model, and female gender (B= -0.68, p = 0.02), baseline DDS2 (B=-0.44, p = 0.002), and TDD (B=-0.01, p = 0.04) in the univariate models. No other associations were reported.Conclusion: HCL was associated with improvements in DRD in T1D, irrespective of ethnicity, deprivation status, baseline glucose outcomes and hypoglycemia awareness. Additional therapeutic interventions are needed to further reduce DRD in HCL users.
