NCT03858062

Brief Summary

In previous studies, the investigators tested the feasibility of a bi-hormonal reactive closed loop system without mealtime announcement. This system for automated control of blood glucose in patients with type 1 diabetes was tested in the clinical research center (APPEL 1 and 2) as well as at the home of the patients (APPEL 3 and 4). After the APPEL 4 study some improvements have been made to the miniaturized prototype to allow patients to operate the system independently and additional risk control measures were included. The main objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of this improved closed loop system.

Study Arms (2)

Open loop

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

14 days patient-managed Insulin pump therapy (with or without glucose sensor) with blinded continuous glucose monitoring

Device: Insulin pump therapy (with or without glucose sensor)

Closed loop

EXPERIMENTAL

Also known as: Closed loop therapy
Closed loop

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 75 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Diagnosed with diabetes mellitus type 1;
  • Treated with SAP or CSII for a minimum of 6 months;
  • Willing and able to sign informed consent.

You may not qualify if:

  • Impaired awareness of hypoglycemia (score ≥ 4) according to Gold and/or Clarke questionnaire;
  • BMI \> 35 kg/m2;
  • HbA1c \> 97 mmol/mol (=11.0 %);
  • Use of heparin, coumarin derivatives or oral corticosteroids;
  • Use of acetaminophen during the open loop or closed loop period, as this may influence the sensor glucose measurements;
  • Limited ability to see, and to hear or feel alarm signals of the closed loop system;
  • Skin condition prohibiting needle insertion;
  • Pregnancy and/or breastfeeding;
  • Living alone during the night during the closed loop period (the patient may ask someone to stay over temporarily);
  • Expected poor connectivity with internet regarding 24/7 tele monitoring;
  • Any condition that the local investigator feels would have interfere with trial participation or the evaluation of the results
