Head-to-Head Comparison of Two Automated Insulin Delivery Systems in Children with Type 1 Diabetes during a 2-Week Summer Camp: An Exploratory Prospective Study

Horm Res PaediatrPublished Exploratory prospective study

Authors' conclusion

Despite the camp's challenges, both AID systems were safe and effective, meeting recommended CGM-derived treatment targets. Furthermore, AID systems showed superior glycaemic control compared to SAP.
