Conventional insulin pump therapry

Single-hormone closed-loop system

Dual-hormone closed-loop system

Arm Description

Subjects will use conventional pump therapy to regulate their glucose levels.

Variable subcutaneous insulin infusion rate will be used to regulate glucose levels. Insulin Aspart (Novorapid) will be infused using a subcutaneous infusion pump. The glucose level as measured by the real time sensor will be entered manually into the computer every 10 minutes. The pump's infusion rate will then be changed manually based on the computer-generated recommendations of infusion rates.

Insulin Aspart (Novorapid) and glucagon (Paladin) will be infused using two separate subcutaneous infusion pumps. The glucose levels as measured by the real time sensor will be entered manually into the computer every 10 minutes. The pumps' infusion rate will then be changed manually based on the computer generated-recommendation delivery levels.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Closed-loop strategy is composed of three components: glucose sensor to read glucose levels, insulin pump to infuse insulin and a dosing mathematical algorithm to decide on the required insulin dosages based on the sensor's readings. A dual-hormone closed-loop system would regulate glucose levels through the infusion of two hormone: insulin and glucagon. The main objective of this project is to compare the efficacy of single-hormone closed-loop strategy, dual-hormone closed-loop strategy and pump therapy to regulate overnight glucose levels in a out-patient study in adults and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. The investigators hypothesized that dual-hormone closed-loop strategy is more effective in regulating overnight glucose levels in adults and adolescents with type 1 diabetes compared to single-hormone closed-loop strategy, which in turn is more effective than the conventional pump therapy.
Detailed Description
Closed-loop strategy is composed of three components: glucose sensor to read glucose levels, insulin pump to infuse insulin and a dosing mathematical algorithm to decide on the required insulin dosages based on the sensor's readings. A dual-hormone closed-loop system would regulate glucose levels through the infusion of two hormone: insulin and glucagon. We aim to conduct a multicenter study to compare the efficacy of conventional pump therapy, single-hormone closed-loop strategy and dual-hormone closed-loop strategy to regulate overnight glucose levels, at home, in adolescents and adults with type 1 diabetes. Each intervention will be tested on two nights: 1) After a carbohydrate-rich dinner meal (to exaggerate hyperglycemic risk and; 2) After an evening exercise (to exaggerate hypoglycemic risk).
