Primary outcomePrimary: Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) Glucose Total Area Over the Curve and Less Than 60 mg/dl — 1015; 4375.68 mg/dl/min

Summary

This study will test the hypothesis that a wearable automated bionic pancreas system that automatically delivers glucagon only can prevent or treat hypoglycemia vs. usual care for people with type 1 diabetes > 21 years old.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Age 21 years or older with type 1 diabetes for at least one year.
  • Otherwise healthy (mild chronic disease such as asthma, hypertension, and depression will be allowed if well controlled).
  • Self-reported frequency of documented hypoglycemia (BG 3 drinks daily in last 30 days) or substance abuse (any use within the last 6 months of controlled substances without a prescription).
  • Electrically powered implants (e.g. cochlear implants, neurostimulators) that might be susceptible to RF interference.
  • History of adverse reaction to glucagon (including allergy) besides nausea and vomiting.
  • Unwilling or unable to completely avoid acetaminophen during the study period.
  • Any factors that, in the opinion of the principal investigator, would interfere with the safe completion of the study procedures.
