First Generation of a Modular Interoperable Closed-Loop System for Automated Insulin Delivery in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes: Lessons From Trials and Real-Life Data

J Diabetes Sci TechnolPublished Pooled analysis of randomised controlled trials and real-life surveys

Authors' conclusion

These data obtained in different European countries were consistent throughout all reports, showing that this closed-loop system is efficient (high improvement in TIR), safe (remarkably low level of TBR), and interoperable (three pump settings so far).
