| Purpose: |
|
The purpose of the study is to compare the glycemic control during and following aerobic
exercise using either an open or closed-loop insulin delivery system.
|
| Study summary: |
|
This is an open-label, single-center, randomized crossover study evaluating the performance
of a closed-loop insulin delivery system using a subcutaneous glucose sensor and an external
insulin pump and comparing it to an open-loop delivery system during aerobic exercise.
Subject participation will be for a maximum of 16 weeks including an outpatient study (up to
6 days) and two inpatient studies (one closed-loop; the other open-loop). The closed- and
open-loop visit consists of approximately 67 hours over 4 days and 3 nights. |
