NCT01161862

Brief Summary

The investigators hypothesize that our closed-loop glucose-control system can provide BG control in subjects with type 1 diabetes using the estimated BG signal from a CGM as the input signal to the controller.

  • +2 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Bi-hormonal with meal-priming bolus

EXPERIMENTAL

The first meal-priming bolus was solely based on weight (0.05 U/kg), after which meal-priming boluses were automatically adapted by the control system online targeting 75% of the anticipated insulin needed in the first four hours after the start of the meal

Device: Bi-hormonal (insulin and glucagon) artificial pancreas

Bi-hormonal without meal-priming bolus

EXPERIMENTAL

The insulin controller was entirely reactive to CGMG; there were no meal priming boluses and no meal announcements

Device: Bi-hormonal (insulin and glucagon) artificial pancreas

Interventions

Subjects wore a bionic pancreas consisting of a continuous glucose monitor, an insulin pump and a glucagon pump
