Type 1 Diabetes
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Type 1 Diabetes focused on measuring Type 1 diabetes, Hypoglycemia, Insulin, Glucagon, Closed-loop system, Artificial pancreas
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Males and females aged ≥ 12 years of old.
- Body mass index < 35
- Clinical diagnosis of type 1 diabetes for at least one year.
- The subject will have been on insulin pump therapy for at least 4 months.
- HbA1c < 12%.
- At least two visits with an endocrinology team in the past 1 year.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Clinically significant nephropathy, neuropathy (peripheral or autonomic e.g. significant gastroparesis) or retinopathy as judged by the investigator.
- Recent (< 6 months) acute macrovascular event e.g. acute coronary syndrome or cardiac surgery.
- A recent injury to body or limb, muscular disorder, use of any medication or other significant medical disorder if that injury, medication or disease in the judgment of the investigator will affect the completion of the exercise protocol.
- Ongoing pregnancy.
- Severe hypoglycemic episode within two weeks of screening.
- Current use of glucocorticoid medication (except low stable dose and inhaled therapy).
- Known or suspected allergy to the insulin aspart, glucagon, Medtronic sensors, or Medtronic infusion sets..
- Other serious medical illness likely to interfere with study participation or with the ability to complete the trial by the judgment of the investigator.
- Anticipating a significant change in treatment regimen between admissions (such as a major change in an exercise routine, significant change in dietary routine or in insulin therapy.
- Failure to comply with team's recommendations.

Conventional insulin pump therapry

Dual-hormone closed-loop system
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.
