Medtronic Treat to Range (TTR) Closed-Loop Control

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of a closed-loop "treat-to-range" (TTR) system in an inpatient clinical research center setting. The TTR system only effects insulin delivery when the glucose is projected to be above or below specified target ranges. These initial studies will assess the safety of this algorithm (mathematical equation) under the extreme conditions of a missed meal insulin bolus and meal over-insulinization. This is a "hybrid" system, which allows the research team to deliver insulin boluses manually with the TTR controller only becoming active when blood glucose levels are projected to be out of the specified range.

• Subjects cannot have had a severe hypoglycemic event described as a seizure, loss of consciousness requiring an emergency department visit or hospitalization within 6 months of enrollment.

Exclusion criteria

• Asthma if treated with systemic or inhaled corticosteroids in the last 6 months; Subject has taken oral or injectable corticosteroids within the last 30 days; Current use of oral/inhaled Glucocorticoids
• Cystic fibrosis
• Inpatient psychiatric treatment in the past 6 months for either the subject or the subject's primary care giver (i.e., parent or guardian)
• Use of non-insulin medications that may affect blood glucose (eg Symlin),
• Systolic blood pressure >140 on screening; Diastolic blood pressure >90 on screening
• History of seizure or loss of consciousness in the last 6 months.
• Adhesive allergies; Active skin condition that would affect sensor placement
• History of heart disease
