Resumen
Contexto: MyDoseCoach™ (MDC), una aplicación móvil aprobada por la FDA, ayuda personas con diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DMT2) a ajustar sus dosis de insulina basal (IB) según sus planes individuales de titulación prescritos por sus médicos.
Objetivo: evaluar la experiencia en el mundo real de la frecuencia del uso de MDC en desenlaces relevantes en DMT2 en Colombia.
Metodología: análisis de cohorte retrospectiva en personas con DMT2 tratadas con IB en Colombia, registradas en MDC entre el 01 de agosto de 2018 y el 31 de marzo de 2022. El análisis incluyó a usuarios de MDC que tuvieron un plan de cuidado activado y registraron ?2 mediciones de glucosa capilar en ayuno en un periodo de dos semanas. Los usuarios se estratificaron en alto uso (>3 días/semana) y moderado/bajo (?3 días/semana). Los desenlaces incluyeron porcentaje de usuarios logrando la meta de glucosa capilar en ayuno (GCA), tiempo para lograr GCA, cambio en GCA e incidencia de hipoglucemia.
Resultados: de los 594 usuarios activos, 481 (80,9?%) y 113 (19,0?%) estuvieron en subgrupos alto y moderado/bajo, respectivamente. 477 (80,3?%) usuarios lograron una meta individualizada de GCA con tiempo promedio de logro de 9,9 días. Los usuarios de alto uso de MDC mostraron significativamente un mejor logro de GCA y en menor tiempo que los usuarios moderados/bajos (p <0,01). El uso frecuente de MDC mostró una reducción significativa de GCA sin aumentar el riesgo de hipoglucemia. El promedio de días para el primer evento autorreportado de hipoglucemia fue mayor en usuarios frecuentes comparado con usuarios moderados/bajos (p <0,01).
Conclusiones: los hallazgos actuales muestran que las herramientas digitales de autotitulación, como la aplicación MDC, pueden brindar mejores resultados glucémicos y un bajo riesgo de hipoglucemia en personas con DM2 en Colombia, particularmente entre aquellos con mayor frecuencia de uso de la aplicación.
