Bihormonal fully closed-loop glucose control in adolescents with Type 1 diabetes: an outpatient, randomized, crossover trial

Pediatr DiabetesPublished Randomised crossover trial

Authors' conclusion

To conclude, this trial provides preliminary evidence that treatment with the bihormonal FCL system may improve glucose outcome parameters, with no safety concerns observed in adolescents with Type 1 diabetes over the short study duration.

Study context

Population
Adolescents with T1D aged 12–18 years15 analysed
Participants
20 adolescents

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

P < 0.001

Further findings

Other glucose outcomes: TAR (> 10.0 mmol/L) and median blood glucose

TAR and median blood glucose significantly improved in the fully closed-loop (FCL) period
