Inpatient Evaluation of an Automated Closed-Loop Control-to-Range System

Clinical Research Center (CRC) Session Detail (closed-loop control active for all elements)

Day 1 (24+ hours):

• Admission at 7:00 AM
• Standardized breakfast with normal bolus at 9:00 AM
• Lunch with normal bolus at 1:00 PM
• Dinner with normal bolus at 7:00 PM
• Overnight sleep
• Breakfast with missed meal bolus followed by user alert and correction bolus
• Discharge

Day 2 (24+ hours):

• Admission at 7:00 AM
• Standardized breakfast with normal bolus at 9:00 AM
• Lunch with normal bolus at 1:00 PM
• Exercise
• Dinner with normal bolus at 7:00 PM
• Overnight sleep
• Breakfast with overbolus at 7:00 AM
• Discharge

Meal boluses will be semi-automated, with manual meal announcement by the physician/nurse, automated bolus recommendation by the system, and automated delivery of the bolus following confirmation of the recommendation. Between-meal insulin dosing will be fully automated; bolus confirmation by the physician/nurse will be requested by the closed-loop controller only when it determines that carbohydrates may be necessary to avoid hypoglycemia following the bolus.

Inclusion criteria

• Clinical diagnosis of type 1 diabetes for at least one year and using an insulin pump for at least 6 months The diagnosis of type 1 diabetes is based on the investigator's judgment; C peptide level and antibody determinations are not needed.

• Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) between 5.0% and 10.5%, as measured with DCA2000 or equivalent device
• For females, not currently known to be pregnant
