Safety of Overestimation of a Meal Insulin Bolus in the Context of Dual-hormone Closed-loop Operation - Part 2
Type 1 Diabetes
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Type 1 Diabetes focused on measuring Type 1 diabetes, Artificial pancreas, Closed-loop system, Postprandial glucose control, Hypoglycemia, Insulin, Glucagon
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Males and females ≥ 18 years old.
- Clinical diagnosis of type 1 diabetes for at least one year.
- The subject will have been on insulin pump therapy for at least 3 months and currently using a fast acting insulin analog (Lispro, Aspart or Glulisine).
- Last (less than 3 months) HbA1c ≤ 10%.
- Currently using carbohydrate counting as the meal insulin dose strategy.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Clinically significant microvascular complications: nephropathy (estimated glomerular filtration rate below 40 ml/min), neuropathy (especially diagnosed gastroparesis) or severe proliferative retinopathy as judged by the investigator.
- Recent (< 3 months) acute macrovascular event e.g. acute coronary syndrome or cardiac surgery.
- Pregnancy.
- Severe hypoglycemic episode within 1 month of screening.
- Agents affecting gastric emptying (Motilium®, Prandase®, Victoza®, Byetta® and Symlin®) as well as oral anti-diabetic agents (Metformin, SGLT-2 inhibitors and DPP-4 inhibitors) if not at a stable dose for 3 months. Otherwise, these medications are acceptable and will be kept stable during the entire protocol.
- Oral steroids unless patients present a low stable dose (e.g. 10 mg or less of prednisone per day or physiological doses, less than 35 mg/day, of hydrocortisone Cortef®). Inhale steroids at stable dose in the last month are acceptable.
- Other serious medical illness likely to interfere with study participation or with the ability to complete the trial by the judgment of the investigator (e.g. unstable psychiatric condition).
- Failure to comply with team's recommendations (e.g. not willing to change pump parameters, follow algorithm's suggestions, etc).

Dual-hormone CL with overestimation of meal size category
Dual-hormone CL with adequate estimation of meal size category
A regular size standardized meal of 45g of carbohydrates will be provided to the patient and the meal size will be overestimated by one category, which will result in a meal insulin bolus for a meal of 65g of carbohydrates.
A regular size standardized meal of 45g of carbohydrates will be provided to the patient and the meal size will be adequately estimated, which will result in a meal insulin bolus for a meal of 35g of carbohydrates.
