About this study

After consent is signed, eligibility will be assessed. Eligible participants not currently using an insulin pump and Dexcom CGM with minimum data requirements will initiate a run-in phase of 2 to 8 weeks that will be customized based on whether the participant is already a pump or CGM user. Participants who skip or successfully complete the run-in will be randomly assigned 2:1 to the use of closed-loop control (CLC group) using t:slim X2 with Control-IQ Technology vs. SAP for 6 months.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Treatment and study plan

t:slim X2 with Control-IQ Technology & Dexcom G6 CGM

Device

Participants will use the Tandem t:slim X2 with Control-IQ Technology & Dexcom G6 CGM for 6 months at home.

Sensor-augmented pump (SAP)
