Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 | Device: FIASP + closed loop device Device: Insulin aspart (standard of care insulin) + closed loop device | Not Applicable |
This is an open-label, single-centre, two-period, randomised, cross over study. The study involves a screening visit to assess participant eligibility and two 24 hour in-patient stays at the clinical research facility during which day and night glucose levels will be controlled by the closed-loop system with either faster-acting insulin aspart or insulin aspart.
Up to 22 adults with type 1 diabetes and treated with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion will be recruited, aiming for 16 completed participants. Recruitment will take place at Manchester Diabetes Centre, Manchester Royal Infirmary, Manchester, UK. Participants will attend the Manchester Clinical Research Facility (MCRF), Manchester, on two occasions. In random order, they will undergo two closed-loop study days using either faster-acting insulin aspart or insulin aspart. During the study days, the closed-loop control algorithm will automatically modulate d insulin infusion rate based on real-time subcutaneous glucose sensor measurements. Participants will receive standardised meals with half usual meal bolus for the evening meal and no meal bolus for lunch time meal during each study day.

---|---|
Experimental: FIASP + closed loop device
Subjects randomised to FIASP and closed loop device will be invited to have blood samples taken at baseline, CGM training, competency assessment, and optimisation of treatment. This is followed by inpatient stay where patients will be using FIASP + closed loop intervention for 24 hours. Participants will be advised to change their usual insulin to the corresponding study visit insulin formulation, 24 hours prior to admission. (For example; if the participant is on insulin aspart, this will be changed to faster-acting aspart 24-hour prior to the admission for closed loop with faster-acting aspart and vice versa).
