Summary
Cystic fibrosis related diabetes (CFRD) is a major factor of morbidity and mortality at all disease stages. Insulin deficiency has serious clinical consequences by increasing malnutrition, since protein and lipid catabolism is accelerated in chronic infections. Traditionally, insulin is injected before a meal. Yet, in these patients with highly varied and often staggered nutritional intakes, insulin injection can result in an increased risk of postprandial hypoglycaemia, all the more so as CF patients exhibit decreased glucagon secretion.
Recent progress in the development of new insulins mimicking the physiological secretion more closely has led to ultra-fast insulins (fast aspart), allowing for postprandial hyperglycaemia to be better controlled. In Type 1 diabetics treated with basal-bolus, faster-acting aspart insulin injected after a meal enabled metabolic control comparable to injection of aspart insulin prior to the meal. Fast apart insulin is of particular interest with regard to CFRD, wherein postprandial hyperglycaemia occurs early. In CFRD, these insulins are likewise advantageous in that they can be injected after the meal, thus permitting more flexibility in patients with highly varied diets. Moreover, the insulin dose can be adapted depending on dietary intake, thus preventing hypoglycaemia secondary to highly-varied carbohydrate intakes. Due to its flexibility, this insulin therapy is likely to be better accepted by patients with cystic fibrosis.
Description
The investigators hypothesis that post prandial administration of Insulin faster-acting aspart insulin in patients with CFRD may contribute to a better metabolic control with a decrease of hypoglycaemia and facilitate insulin administration according to the real food intake. The use of Insulin faster-acting aspart insulin will facilitate the functional insulin therapy. More particularly for CF patients, optimization of metabolic control should contribute to maintain a good nutritional status and to slowing the decline of respiratory function and improve the quality of life.
Patients with cystic fibrosis related diabetes and treated by multiple insulin injection (minimal three insulin injection per day or basal bolus insulin regimen) or insulin pump with CGM from over 3 months were included in an open, randomized, two-treatments - 4 periods of 3 months - 2 groups cross-over superiority study. Each group of patients will test both insulin treatments (A = pre prandial Aspart insulin, F = post prandial Faster-acting aspart insulin) in alternating periods with the following sequences: Group 1: A-F-A-F, Group 2: F-A-F-A The patients will be randomized to either one or the other sequence, which defines the groups, and take A or F in each of the 4 periods of the study. Each treatment period will last 3 months.
CGM (free style libre, Abott) will be performed for 2 weeks at baseline and after each 4 months period.
