Primary outcomePrimary: Proportion of Time Spent in the Target Sensor Glucose Range During the 16 Week Intervention Period (%) — 79.9; 71.4 % of time
Summary
The main objective of this open-label, multi-centre, randomised, crossover design study is to determine whether automated day and night closed-loop insulin delivery for 16 weeks under free living conditions is safer and more efficacious compared to sensor augmented insulin pump therapy in older adults with type 1 diabetes. The primary outcome is time spent in target range between 3.9 and 10.0 mmol/L (70 and 180 mg/dl) as recorded by CGM. Secondary outcomes are the HbA1c, time spent with glucose levels above and below target, as recorded by CGM, and other CGM-based metrics. Measures of human factor assessments, cardiac arrhythmias and objective sleep quality assessment will also be evaluated in this study.
