Closed-loop Control of Glucose Levels in the Context of Exercise in Adults With Type-1 Diabetes

Recent developments of continuous glucose sensors and insulin infusion pumps have motivated the research toward closed-loop strategies to regulate glucose levels in patients with type 1 diabetes. In a closed-loop strategy, the pump(s) infusion rate is altered based on a computer-generated recommendation that relies on continuous glucose sensor readings. In this study, we aim to compare the effectiveness of dual-hormone (insulin+glucagon) closed-loop strategy to open-loop conventional continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion pump (CSII) therapy in regulating glucose levels during an evening exercise and on a night following an exercise in adults with type 1 diabetes.
