Brief summary

Rapid Action Insulin (RAI) absorption and action measured by time to reach maximum insulin concentration and glucose infusion rate.

Detailed description

The investigators hypothesize that RAI absorption and action measured by time to reach maximum insulin concentration and glucose infusion rate during the clamp study will be significantly faster when insulin bolus is delivered using the Quick Bolus feature as compared to the Standard Bolus. Outcomes were updated at time of results entry.

Interventions

DEVICEQuick Bolus

Individuals with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) given 0.2 units/kg of rapid acting insulin (RAI) via quick bolus of 15 units per minute during a euglycemic clamp.

Individuals with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) given 0.2 units/kg of rapid acting insulin (RAI) via standard bolus of 1.5 units per minute during a euglycemic clamp.
