  14. An understanding and willingness to follow the protocol and signed informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Concurrent use of any non-insulin glucose-lowering agent other than metformin (including GLP-1 agonists, pramlintide, DPP-4 inhibitors, SGLT-2 inhibitors, sulfonylureas)
  2. A condition, which in the opinion of the investigator or designee, would put the participant at risk or interfere with the completion of the protocol.
  3. History of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in the 12 months prior to enrollment
  4. Severe hypoglycemia resulting in seizure or loss of consciousness in the 12 months prior to enrollment
  5. Currently being treated for a seizure disorder

  7. Planned surgery during study duration
  8. Participation in another pharmaceutical or device trial at the time of enrollment or during the study

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Number of SAE or ADE Related to the Use of ATM / WST and BAM Modules.
Safety assessment of ATM / WST and BAM modules by assessing serious adverse events or adverse device effects deemed related to the use of ATM/WST and BAM modules specifically.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Time in Range
Percent of CGM readings in the target ranges of 70-180mg/dL from 2 weeks of baseline compared to last 2 weeks of treatment period.
Time in Hypoglycemia
Percent of CGM readings <70 mg/dL
INSPIRE Questionnaire
Questionnaire addressing system/technology use. The INSPIRE questionnaire assesses user expectations and experiences with Insulin Delivery Systems: Perceptions, Ideas, Reflections, Expectations (INSPIRE). Survey total scores are computed by calculating the mean of the sum of all item ratings then multiplying the mean by 25 to scale the score to a range from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate a more positive perception of insulin delivery systems. Items are rated on a 5 point Likert scale ranging from 0 (strongly disagree) to 4 (strongly agree). The Adult survey has 22 items.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this pilot study is to test the safety and feasibility of using two or three research modules in conjunction with an automated insulin delivery device (AID).
Detailed Description
This concept is implemented in the Adaptive Biobehavioral Control (ABC) system - ABC will use human-machine co-adaptation of AID, recognizing both the necessity for the control algorithm to adapt to changes in human physiology, and the necessity for the person to adapt to AID action. ABC will be implemented on the Web Information Tool (WIT) platform/system and includes the following modules to be used alongside the automated insulin delivery device facilitating behavioral adaptation: Behavioral Adaptation Module (BAM) - a behavioral intervention deployed in a mobile app to assist a person's adaptation to automated insulin delivery by information and risk assessment primarily regarding glycemic risks, and Auto Titration Module (ATM) - a web-based tool with an automated procedure to track risk status and changes in the participant's metabolic profile. This module will present updated insulin control parameters to the user once a week using a web-based format accessible to the participant. Web-based Simulation Tool (WST) --a web-based education tool for participants to interact with their data to visualize and replay various scenarios to understand the impact of insulin parameter changes. Design: Two-week baseline use of personal AID system followed by randomization 1:1 into two groups. Group 1 will use their personal AID system and add an auto titration module (ATM) and web simulation tool (WST) in which insulin parameters may be adjusted on a weekly basis. Group 2 will use their personal AID system and add the ATM / WST on a weekly basis as well as a behavioral adaptation module (BAM). The BAM will consist of information modules in which information only is given to participants (e.g. hypoglycemic risks).
