Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus focused on measuring hyaluronidase, infusion sets, insulin pump, Continuous glucose monitor
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

Participants assigned to active treatment arm (Hylenex) for weeks 1 and 3. On weeks 1 and 3 (Hyaluronidase weeks) subjects injected 1 milliliter (ml) Hyaluronidase (150 units/ml) into the catheter hub prior to connecting the insulin infusion set on Day 1 and 3 of infusion set wear. On weeks 2 and 4 (control weeks) no Hyaluronidase was administered.
Participants were first assigned to the control arm. They received active treatment (Hyaluronidase) on weeks 2 and 4. On weeks 1 and 3 (control weeks) no Hyaluronidase was administered. On weeks 2 and 4 (Hyaluronidase weeks) subjects injected 1 milliliter (ml) Hyluronidase (150 units/ml) into the catheter hub prior to connecting the insulin infusion set on Day 1 and 3 of infusion set wear.
