Diabeloop for Teens

An Open-label, Multicenter, Randomized, Crossover Study, to Assess 4 Weeks Outpatient, the Clinical Efficacy of the Diabeloop Closed-loop Glucose Control Without the Declaration of Meals Compared with the Diabeloop Closed-loop Glucose Control with the Declaration of Meals, in Adolescent Patients with Type 1 Diabetes Poorly Controlled.

Brief summary

An open-label, three-centers, controlled, randomized, and crossover study containing 14 days of baseline period with standard of care (SOC) therapy followed by two-sessions of 4-weeks home study phase with Diabeloop closed-loop (CL) system comparing the declaration of meals and the non-declaration of meals.

Interventions

DEVICEDexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring

Collection of glucose data

DEVICEMEDISAFE WITH External Insulin Pump

Insulin delivery

Diabeloop software embeds a regulation algorithm to automatically regulate the patient's glycaemia. It takes as input glycaemia value received every 5 minutes from the CGM and patient inputs related to meals and physical activities and it calculates the amount of insulin to be delivered. It sends this information to the pump that automatically delivers this quantity.
