Brief Summary

The main objective of this study is to determine the efficacy, safety and utility of fully automated closed-loop glucose control in the home setting over an 8 week period in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D). This study builds on previous and on-going studies of closed-loop systems that have been performed in Cambridge in adults with type 1 diabetes in the home setting, and in adults with type 2 diabetes in the inpatient setting. This is an open-label, single centre, randomised, cross-over study, involving two home study periods during which glucose levels will be controlled either by a fully automated closed-loop system or by participants' usual insulin therapy in random order. Each treatment arm is 8 weeks long with a 2-4 week washout period between treatments. A total of up to 30 participants with T2D will be recruited through outpatient clinics to allow for 24 completed participants available for assessment. Participants will receive appropriate training by the research team on the safe use of the study devices (insulin pump and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and closed-loop insulin delivery system). Participants in the control arm will continue with standard therapy and will wear a blinded CGM system. The primary outcome is time spent with glucose levels in the target range between 3.9 and 10.0 mmol/L as recorded by CGM. Secondary outcomes are the time spent with glucose levels above and below target, as recorded by CGM, and other CGM-based metrics in addition to insulin requirements. Safety evaluation comprises the tabulation of severe hypoglycaemic episodes.

Study Arms (2)

Closed loop insulin delivery

EXPERIMENTAL

Unsupervised home use of day and night fully automated closed loop insulin delivery system (CamAPS HX) for 8 weeks The CamAPS HX closed-loop system comprises: Dana insulin pump (Diabecare, Sooil, Seoul, South Korea) Dexcom G6 real-time CGM sensor (Dexcom, Northridge, CA, USA) An Android smartphone hosting CamAPS HX Application with the Cambridge model predictive control algorithm and communicating wirelessly with the insulin pump Glooko/Diasend cloud upload system to monitor CGM/insulin data

Device: CamAPS HX Closed-loop

Standard therapy

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participants in the control arm will continue to follow their current diabetes management plan for the 8 week study period. Participants will be wear a masked continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system during the 8 week study period

Other: Multiple Daily Insulin Injections (Control)
