Arm Label

Sensor-augmented pump therapy

Single-hormone closed-loop strategy

Arm Description

Participants will use sensor-augmented pump therapy with low-glucose suspend to regulate glucose levels. The low-glucose suspend feature available in the MiniMed® Paradigm® Veo™, Medtronic combined with the Enlite sensor® will be used. This feature allows for suspension of insulin delivery at a pre-set sensor glucose value for up to 2 hours.

Variable subcutaneous insulin infusion will be used to regulate glucose levels. Participant's usual fast-acting insulin analog will be infused using a subcutaneous infusion pump (MiniMed® Paradigm® Veo™, Medtronic). Every 10 minutes, the glucose levels as measured by the sensor (Enlite sensor®, Medtronic) will be transferred automatically to a smartphone, that harbors the algorithm, that will calculate the recommended doses and will send it wirelessly to the infusion pump.

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. The objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of single-hormone closed-loop and sensor-augmented pump therapy in regulating day-and-night glucose levels in adults with T1D for 12 days in outpatient settings. The investigators hypothesize that dual-hormone closed-loop will increase the percentage of time of glucose levels spent in the target range in adults compared to single-hormone closed-loop, which in turn will be more effective than sensor-augmented pump therapy.
