Authors' conclusion

Further evaluation of the community derived automated insulin delivery (CREATE) trial to 48 weeks confirms that open-source AID is efficacious and safe with different insulin pumps, and demonstrates sustained glycemic improvements without additional safety concerns.

Study context

Population
Children and adults (7–70 years) with T1D; Sensor-augmented pump therapy (SAPT) arm (SAPT-AID) crossed over to join open-source automated insulin delivery (AID) arm (AID-AID); most (69/94) used preproduction YpsoPump during continuation
Comparison
