Customization of home closed-loop insulin delivery in adult patients with type 1 diabetes, assisted with structured remote monitoring: the pilot WP7 Diabeloop study

摘要

Aims Improvement in closed-loop insulin delivery systems could result from customization of settings to individual needs and remote monitoring. This pilot home study evaluated the efficacy and relevance of this approach. Methods A bicentric clinical trial was conducted for 3?weeks, using an MPC-based algorithm (Diabeloop Artificial Pancreas system) featuring five settings designed to modulate the reactivity of regulation. Remote monitoring was ensured by expert nurses with a web platform generating automatic Secured Information Messages (SIMs) and with a structured procedure. Endpoints were glucose metrics and description of impact of monitoring on regulation parameters. Results Eight patients with type 1 diabetes (six men, age 41.8?±?11.4?years, HbA1c 7.7?±?1.0) were included. Time spent in the 70–180?mg/dl range was 70.2 67.5; 76.9. Time in hypoglycemia?
