Background
Only a few post-Soviet countries, like Russia and Kazakhstan, have
full state coverage for insulin distribution to children with T1DM

Program Support
Initial training for patients and their parents was provided locally.
Educational brochures for patient education were developed in
Russian language
A1C levels were obtained at the initiation of pump therapy and at
3-month intervals
The industry partner (Medtronic) supplied computers and point-ofcare A1C testing equipment to sites
Ongoing remote monitoring and management were provided
through evaluation of CareLink reports

Status of Study
Currently, 731 children enrolled
607 completed 12 months of therapy
413 have both baseline and 12-month A1C data
294 (71.2%) had baseline A1C values >7.5%

The percentage of subjects with baseline A1C >7.5% was lower among
patients 10 years old than among patients >10 years old (p < 0.008)
The magnitude of the reduction was greater among younger patients
Significant reductions in A1C were seen at 12 months in age groups
Conclusions
Introduction of CSII therapy to Kazakh children and adolescents with
T1DM resulted in statistically and clinically significant decreases in A1C.
Among those with baseline A1C >7.5%,
A1C decreases were seen in Asian and Non-Asian populations, suggesting that ethnic
background is not a determinant of successful pump implementation
A1C decreases were seen in urban and rural populations, suggesting that proximity to
specialized care centers is not a requirement for successful pump implementation
Reduction in A1C occurred in patients older and younger than 10 years of age, but the
magnitude of reduction greater in younger children
