Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1, Diabetes Mellitus, Brittle, Closed-Loop
About this trial
This is an interventional device feasibility trial for Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 focused on measuring Artificial pancreas, Very Unstable Type 1 diabetes
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Subject (aged 22 or more) with Type 1 diabetes for at least 5 years and confirmed C peptide negative
- Treated with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) for ≥ 6 months,
- Trained to carbohydrate counting/flexible insulin therapy,
Subject that had experienced, despite optimal diabetes management and prior to any equipment with Smartguard technology, glucose instability as defined by at least 2 of the following criteria which would have led to eligibility for pancreatic islet transplantation:
- occurrence of at least 1 severe hypoglycemic episode during the past 12 months (need for third party),
- occurrence of ketoacidosis (hospitalization in ICU) without explanation
- Impaired awareness of hypoglycemia (Clark Score ≥ 4; Gold Score > 4)
- glucose levels: standard deviation > 50% of the arithmetic mean value on glucose meter or > 40 mg/dl on CGM on a 14-day recording
- glucose levels: MAGE (mean amplitude of glucose excursions) index > 60 mg/dl
- glucose levels: coefficient of variation (CV) > 36%
- with persisting extreme glucose variability despite optimal medical care
- with contra-indication or no agreement to undertake pancreatic islet transplantation or pancreas transplantation.
- Subject willing to wear the DBLHU system continuously throughout the study
Exclusion Criteria:
- patient with type 2 diabetes
- age < 22 years old
- patient without any social or familial support able to intervene in case of severe hypoglycemic event
- any permanent and severe condition able to interact with the normal course of the study
- patient with insulin-resistance defined by insulin requirements > 1.5U/kg/d
- patient with a daily dose of insulin required greater than 90 units
- patient receiving a total daily dose of insulin less than 8 U
- use of any insulin that is not 100 U/mL fast-acting insulin analog
- patient suffering from a serious illness or a treatment that might significantly impair diabetes physiology, i.e. glucose-insulin interactions, that might interfere with the medical device (for example irregular treatment of steroids)
- patient having severe problems of uncorrected hearing and/or visual acuity
- patient who is unable to understand and perform all the instructions provided by Diabeloop SA
- patient not willing to perform ≥4 finger stick blood glucose measurements daily
- patients that have frequent exposure to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT) scan, or high-frequency electrical heat (diathermy) treatment.
- patient who has had a pancreatectomy or who has pancreatic malfunctions
- patient having severely altered renal function (Creatinine clearance < 30ml/min)
- patient on dialysis
- pregnancy or breast-feeding patient, or project of pregnancy during the next 6 months
- lack of effective contraception in women of childbearing potential
- all conditions excluding participation to clinical research as defined in France
