About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Diabetes focused on measuring Type 1 Diabetes

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 45 Years (Adult)FemaleDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Between 18 and 45 years of age (inclusive).
  2. A diagnosis of type 1 diabetes (T1D), as defined by WHO for at least 12 months.
  3. A viable pregnancy confirmed by ultrasound, up to 13 weeks and 6 days gestation.
  4. Currently on intensive insulin therapy (≥3 injections or CSII).
  5. Willingness to use the study devices throughout the trial.
  6. HbA1c level ≥48 mmol/mol (≥6.5%) at booking (first antenatal contact) and ≤86 mmol/mol (≤10%) at point of randomization.
  7. Able to provide informed consent.
  8. Have access to email.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Non-type 1 diabetes.
  2. Any other physical or psychological disease which, in the opinion of the investigator, is likely to interfere with the normal conduct and interpretation of the study results e.g. untreated coeliac disease or untreated hypothyroidism.
  3. Current treatment with drugs known to interfere with glucose metabolism as judged by the investigator such as high dose systemic corticosteroids, non-selective beta-blockers and MAO inhibitors.
  4. Known or suspected allergy against insulin.

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Active Comparator

Arm Label

An Automated Closed-loop Insulin Delivery (AiD) System.

A Standard Insulin Delivery System

Arm Description

The intervention being evaluated in this trial is automated closed-loop insulin delivery (AiD). The closed-loop system comprises of three components: an insulin pump, a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and a computer-based model predictive control (MPC) algorithm to compute information from the CGM into a recommended insulin dose.

This can include either: an insulin pump (Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion - CSII) or multiple daily injections (MDI) without closed-loop.

The primary outcome is the percentage of time spent with glucose levels between 3.9-7.8 mmol/L based on CGM levels between 16 weeks gestation and delivery.as compared with standard self-directed insulin delivery in pregnant women with T1D.

Adverse events including pregnancy loss, stillbirth, neonatal death
Hospital length of stay (maternal).
Hospital length of stay (all admissions including the delivery admission)
Mode of delivery

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Evaluation of the biomedical and psychosocial impact of automated Closed-Loop (Artificial Pancreas) insulin delivery in women with type 1 diabetes during pregnancy
Detailed Description
An open-label, multi-centre, randomized, two-arm parallel group trial comparing automated closed-loop and standard insulin delivery. 124 pregnant women between 18 and 45 years of age with Type 1 Diabetes of at least 12 months' duration on standard insulin delivery (CSII or MDI) will be recruited through outpatient antenatal diabetes clinics. Women fulfilling the eligibility criteria will be randomized to automated insulin delivery (AiD) or to continue standard patient-directed insulin delivery (CSII or MDI) without AiD. The study will take place within the home and NHS antenatal clinical settings. Additional blood samples for the research will be obtained at the 24th and 34th week of pregnancy and questionnaires will also be completed by the participant at the 34th week of pregnancy. Following this we will collect information on the birth. 25 of the woman randomised to the closed loop insulin delivery system will also be interviewed to gain more information on, among other things, their existing diabetes management practices, everyday work and family lives and their experience with the device.
