Type 1 Diabetes

Brief summary

This study aims to evaluate whether the use of an extended bolus will improve glucose control with high-fat high protein meals using a closed-loop system. The new knowledge gained from this study may provide a method to allow for the proper administration of insulin over an extended period to mitigate the risk of prolonged hyperglycemia or early hypoglycemia.

Interventions

DEVICETandem t:slim X2 insulin pump: Extended bolus of insulin then standard bolus of insulin

For a standardized HFHP breakfast, participants will receive an extended meal bolus of insulin on the first morning and a standard meal bolus of insulin on the second morning of the study.

Intervention model description

Participants will be randomly assigned (1:1) in blocks of two to the order in which they receive the two premeal insulin boluses: extended followed by standard bolus or a standard followed by extended bolus.
