Utilization and Impact of Diabetes Technology Among Type 1 Diabetes Patients at a Tertiary Hospital in Thailand.
Article in Journal of the ASEAN Federation of Endocrine Societies, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: While diabetes technologies such as insulin pumps, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), and automated insulin delivery (AID) systems have demonstrated potential to improve glycemic control and reduce hypoglycemia, their utilization and effectiveness in Thailand remain underdocumented. This study aimed to assess the use and impact of diabetes technologies on glycemic outcomes at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital (KCMH), a tertiary care center in Bangkok, Thailand. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted among T1D patients receiving care at the endocrinology clinic of KCMH between August 2023 and July 2024. Data were collected at each patient's most recent follow-up visit, and participants were classified into technology users and non-technology users. Data collection focused on demographics, diabetes technology use, and clinical parameters, including HbA1c, hypoglycemia events, and CGM metrics (Time in Range (TIR), Time Above Range (TAR), Time Below Range (TBR)). Results: A total of 61 patients with T1D were included, of whom 49% were technology users (6% insulin pumps, 57% CGM, 37% AID). Technology users had a significantly higher mean HbA1c (8.1% ± 1.6) than non-technology users (7.2% ± 1.2, p = 0.011). AID users achieved a higher mean TIR (67.6% ± 16%) compared to CGM users (54.0% ± 23.8%), but the difference was not statistically significant. Both AID and CGM users maintained a low incidence of hypoglycemia (<54 mg/dL). Conclusion: This study found a relatively high rate of diabetes technology adoption at our center compared to other Asian countries, highlighting its potential to reduce the risk of hypoglycemia and improve glycemic stability. However, technology users also had higher HbA1c levels, suggesting that diabetes technology is often prescribed to high-risk patients with poor glycemic control. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies to better understand and address barriers to optimal glycemic outcomes among diabetes technology users.
