Study Arms (2)
Single Arm
EXPERIMENTALAll participants will use the AID system.
Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT)
EXPERIMENTALSubjects will be randomized 2:1 in the AID group to SC group.
Interventions
The embecta Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) System is a closed loop system comprised of 3 components: the embecta insulin pump, a Smartphone with the Tidepool Loop app, and the Dexcom G6 CGM
Participants will continue to use their current therapy for T2D.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Sufficient cognitive ability, per investigator judgment, to provide informed consent for study participation on an IRB approved consent form
- ≥18 years of age at time of consent
- Currently treated with (1) multiple daily injections of insulin (MDI; defined as using basal insulin and at least one daily prandial injection), (2) an insulin pump without automation or (3) basal insulin without prandial insulin provided that screening HbA1c ≥7.5% (basal-only) for ≥3 months at the time of screening (per participant report and medical records available at the site)
- Either not using any noninsulin glucose-lowering medications (such as GLP-1 receptor agonist, SGLT2 inhibitor, or other) or weight-reduction medications that can have a meaningful effect on glucose levels, or if using, then the dose has been stable for at least 4 weeks prior to screening based on investigator discretion
- Willing to use U-100 (i.e., insulin lispro or insulin aspart) while using the embecta AID system if assigned to the AID group
- Willing to not use concentrated insulin above U-100 or inhaled insulin while using the embecta AID system
- Willing to participate in the study meal and exercise challenges if assigned to AID use in either the Single Arm Phase or the RCT AID group, and have a care partner, trained in hypoglycemia treatment guidelines including glucagon use, present during and immediately after the exercise challenges unless exercise challenges will be done in clinic.
- Total daily insulin dose (TDD) \<300 units/day
- HbA1c ≤ 11% based on point-of-care or local lab measurement at screening
- Willing to comply with study procedures, regardless of study arm
- Able to read and understand English (due to user interface and IFU only being available in English)
- Willing to have primary care provider and/or primary endocrinologist notified of participation in the trial
- Investigator believes that the participant can successfully and safely operate all study devices and is capable of adhering to the protocol and completing the study
- No medical, psychiatric, or other conditions, or medications being taken that in the investigator's judgement would be a safety concern for participation in the study. This includes considering the potential impact of medical conditions known to be present including cardiovascular, liver, kidney disease, thyroid disease, adrenal disease, malignancies, vision difficulties, active proliferative retinopathy, or other medical conditions; psychiatric conditions including eating disorders; drug or alcohol abuse
- Participant is not capable of becoming pregnant, or if they are capable, they must meet one of the following criteria:
- +7 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Use of an AID system within the last 3 months prior to screening
- Use of systemic glucocorticoids within the last 8 weeks prior to screening or anticipated use of systemic glucocorticoids during the study (topical or inhaled or local injection into spine/joint -i.e., non-systemic is acceptable)
- Current use of sulfonylurea, meglitinide, or repaglinides medications (within 30 days prior to screening)
- Current use of hydroxyurea (within 1 day prior to screening) as hydroxyurea is known to cause falsely high CGM values which could lead to incorrect dosing from the AID system.
- Has had more than 2 severe hypoglycemic events requiring third party help or hospitalization within the last 6 months prior to screening
- Lack of reliable telephone service (for contact) or internet (smartphone containing the closed-loop algorithm application)
- Planned surgery or hospitalization for which use of the embecta AID system would need to be discontinued for more than 7 days
- Known allergy to medical grade adhesives that precludes use of the embecta AID system or CGM
- Skin condition at the site(s) that may be used for application of the study CGM or embecta AID system that precludes use of the AID system or CGM
- Dialysis planned or anticipated for chronic kidney disease in the next 4 months
- Pregnant (positive urine hCG), breast feeding, plan to become pregnant in the next 2 months, or sexually active without use of contraception.
- Current participation in another diabetes or obesity-related interventional clinical trial.
- Anticipated change of residency or travel for more than 7 days at a time during the study that may, per investigator judgment, interfere with the completion of study visits, contacts, or procedures.
- Immediate family member (spouse, biological or legal guardian, child, sibling, parent) of, or someone who is, an investigative site personnel directly affiliated with this study or who is an employee of embecta, Tidepool or the JAEB Center for Health Research.
