Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus | Drug: Fiasp® Drug: Novolog® Device: 670G hybrid closed loop continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion system | Phase 3 |
This study is being performed to compare Fiasp® in terms of glycemic control with a focus on post-prandial 1-hour plasma glucose level and system-based outcomes to NovoLog® insulin when used in the Medtronic mini Med 670G HCL system (operating in auto-mode) in patients with type 1 diabetes. The investigator's hypothesis is that post prandial glucoses will be lower and time in range will be greater during the Fiasp® treatment period.
Subjects will have a 2 week screening period, 14 week treatment period and 30 Day follow up period. After at least 7 weeks on treatment period one they will crossover to treatment period two on the opposite treatment for 7 additional weeks.

- 1-Hour Change in Postprandial Plasma Glucose (PPG) [ Time Frame: 6th week of therapy ]Change was calculated as the PPG value at 1 hour minus the PPG value at baseline (time -2 minutes) during meal test

- Percentage of Time Spent Between Below 70 mg/dL [ Time Frame: Weeks 1 through 6, Weeks 8 through 13 ]Percent of time spent is calculated as the accumulated time in hours spent within each range divided by the total number of hours spent under therapy with each drug (6 weeks each)
- Percentage of Time Spent Between 70 mg/dL and 180 mg/dL [ Time Frame: Weeks 1 through 6, Weeks 8 through 13 ]Percent of time spent is calculated as the accumulated time in hours spent within each range divided by the total number of hours spent under therapy with each drug (6 weeks each)
- Percentage of Time Spent Above 200 mg/dL [ Time Frame: Weeks 1 through 6, Weeks 8 through 13 ]Percent of time spent is calculated as the accumulated time in hours spent within each range divided by the total number of hours spent under therapy with each drug (6 weeks each)
- Percentage of Time Spent in Hypoglycemia (40 mg/dL - 54 mg/dL) [ Time Frame: Weeks 1 through 6, Weeks 8 through 13 ]Percent of time spent is calculated as the accumulated time in hours spent within each range divided by the total number of hours spent under therapy with each drug (6 weeks each)
- Percentage of Time Spent in Severe Hypoglycemia (> 40 mg/dL) [ Time Frame: Weeks 1 through 6, Weeks 8 through 13 ]Percent of time spent is calculated as the accumulated time in hours spent within each range divided by the total number of hours spent under therapy with each drug (6 weeks each)
- 1,5 Anhydroglucitol Levels [ Time Frame: Week 6, Week 13 ]1,5 anhydroglucitol levels were measured on the 6th week of each therapy
- Fructosamine Levels [ Time Frame: Week 6, Week 13 ]Cumulative glycemic control expressed in fructosamine levels (micromol/Liter) were measured on the 6th week of each therapy
- HbA1c [ Time Frame: Week 6, Week 13 ]Cumulative glycemic control expressed in HbA1c% measured on the 6th week of each therapy
- Insulin Use - Change in Daily Dose [ Time Frame: Weeks 1 through 6, Weeks 8 through 13 ]Change was calculated as the value on the last day of therapy minus the value on the 1st day of therapy in each period
- Insulin Use - Bolus [ Time Frame: Weeks 1 through 6, Weeks 8 through 13 ]Change in %bolus insulin (units) as the value on the last day of therapy minus the value on the 1st day of therapy in each period
- Insulin Use - Basal [ Time Frame: Weeks 1 through 6, Weeks 8 through 13 ]Change in %basal insulin (units) as the value on the last day of therapy minus the value on the 1st day of therapy in each period
- Insulin Use - Automatic Basal Insulin [ Time Frame: Weeks 1 through 6, Weeks 8 through 13 ]Average amount per day (units) calculated for each participant under each therapy
- Insulin Pump - Active Insulin Time [ Time Frame: Weeks 1 through 6, Weeks 8 through 13 ]Average time per day (hours) calculated for each participant under each therapy
- Insulin Pump - Auto Mode [ Time Frame: Weeks 3 through 6, Weeks 10 through 13 ]Percentage of time spent in auto-mode after calibration under each therapy
- Insulin Pump - Manual Mode [ Time Frame: Weeks 3 through 6, Weeks 10 through 13 ]Percentage of time spent in manual-mode after calibration under each therapy
- Change in Carbohydrate Ratio [ Time Frame: Weeks 1 through 6, Weeks 8 through 13 ]Change was calculated as the carbohydrate ratio on the last day of therapy minus the carbohydrate ratio on the 1st day of therapy in each period
- Infusion Site Reactions [ Time Frame: 14 week treatment period ]Number of Infusion site reactions reported by patient
- Pump Occlusions [ Time Frame: 14 week treatment period ]Number of Occlusion events reported by patient
