Closed-loop Control of Glucose Levels in the Context of Exercise in Adults With Type-1 Diabetes
- Conditions
- Type 1 Diabetes
- Interventions
- Device: Conventional continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion therapyDevice: Dual-hormone closed-loop
- Registration Number
- NCT01297946
- Lead Sponsor
- Institut de Recherches Cliniques de Montreal
- Brief Summary
Recent developments of continuous glucose sensors and insulin infusion pumps have motivated the research toward closed-loop strategies to regulate glucose levels in patients with type 1 diabetes. In a closed-loop strategy, the pump(s) infusion rate is altered based on a computer-generated recommendation that relies on continuous glucose sensor readings. In this study, we aim to compare the effectiveness of dual-hormone (insulin+glucagon) closed-loop strategy to open-loop conventional continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion pump (CSII) therapy in regulating glucose levels during an evening exercise and on a night following an exercise in adults with type 1 diabetes.

Group Intervention Description Open-loop Conventional continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion therapy Conventional continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) therapy Dual-hormone closed-loop Dual-hormone closed-loop Variable subcutaneous insulin and glucagon infusion rates will be used to regulate glucose levels. The infusion rates are based on continuous glucose sensor reading and a control algorithm.
