Adolescence and Diabetes: Can an Automated Closed Loop System Improve Control ?
This study evaluates the use of the FD2 automated closed loop insulin administration in Adolescents with a poor metabolic control . All youth will be treated in a random order by their usual pump treatment or an Automated system and we will evaluate whether this has an impact on metabolic control and sleep
Achievement of a good metabolic control is very important for all persons with diabetes . In adolescence many changes occur , physically , socially and psychologically .This may influence the metabolic control . This study will evaluate whether the automated closed-loop will facilitate and improve the management of diabetes in youth with a poor metabolic control.
It is a single-centre, randomised, two-period crossover study to assess the efficacy /safety and acceptability of the automated closed-loop glucose control (CL) day and night, over 28 days in comparison with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) in the home setting in poorly controlled type 1 diabetes adolescents.
Inclusion Criteria:
12- 18 years Type 1 diabetes according to WHO/ISPAD , for at least 1 year CSII treatment for at least 6 month HbA1c ≥ 8,0%, for more than 6 months Informed consent of the patient and parents
Exclusion Criteria:
Non-type 1 diabetes mellitus including those secondary to chronic disease Any other physical or psychological disease or condition likely to interfere with the normal conduct of the study and interpretation of the study results as judged by the investigator.
Current treatment with drugs known to have significant interference with glucose metabolism, such as systemic corticosteroids, as judged by the investigator Known or suspected allergy against insulin Recurrent incidents of severe hypoglycaemia as defined by ISPAD guidelines during the previous 12 months.
More than one episode of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) as defined by ISPAD in preceding 12 months
