Closed-loop Control of Glucose Levels (Artificial Pancreas) During Exercise in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes

Category Primary study
Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2014
Closed-loop strategy is composed of three components: glucose sensor to read glucose levels, insulin pump to infuse insulin and a dosing mathematical algorithm to decide on the required insulin dosages based on the sensor\'s readings. A dual-hormone closed-loop system would regulate glucose levels through the infusion of two hormones: insulin and glucagon. The objective is to compare the efficacy of single-hormone closed-loop strategy and dual-hormone closed-loop strategy at regulating glucose levels during continuous exercise and interval exercise. The investigator hypothesized that dual-hormone closed-loop strategy is superior to single-hormone closed-loop strategy in regulating glucose levels during exercise periods.
