Open-access Continuous Insulin Infusion System and self-care in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus: scope review

Objective:   to map the evidence available in the literature on self-care among people with type 1 diabetes mellitus using continuous insulin infusion systems.

Method:  this is a scoping review based on the principles recommended by the JBI and the PRISMA guidelines for data extraction, conducted using ten databases and gray literature. The PCC strategy was used for data collection. Studies were selected after duplicates were removed and individual and paired assessments were conducted. Descriptive analysis and diagrams were used to present the results.

Results:   an analysis of the 18 selected articles showed three self-care behaviors: glycemic management, insulin bolus, and carbohydrate counting. The factors influencing these behaviors were Knowledge, Freedom/flexibility, Sensor use, Context, and Responsibility.

Conclusion:  the studies indicate that in-depth knowledge of self-care enables professionals to make better decisions about individualized treatment plans and enables people using the Continuous Insulin Infusion System to seek actions and information related to daily care for proper diabetes management. There is a need for future intervention studies to optimize self-care in this population.
