Study Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of the study is to describe the inflammatory response to enzimatic glucose sensors after 10 days of use and to evaluate the relationship between the magnitude of the FBR (foreign body response) with the accuracy of the sensor (MARD)
Detailed Description
Eighteen Type 1 DM patients are going to be included. Primary Objectives
- To define the intra-individual and inter-individual variability of the macrophage count around the sensor
- To assess whether there is a relationship between the number of macrophages, fibrosis and MARD of the MCG registry.
Secondary Objectives
To describe the histology of tissue response. This description will include:
- HE stain: cell types, arrangement, vascular structures, signs of hemorrhage-clot. Giemsa stain: mast cells. Masson's trichrome stain: str. vascular.
- Immunohistochemistry: Vascular assessment, characterization of macrophages
