Robot pancreas put to the test in teens

NCT ID NCT04510506

Summary

This study aimed to see if an automated insulin delivery system (an 'artificial pancreas') helps teenagers with type 1 diabetes better manage their blood sugar levels over two years, especially during puberty. It involved 42 adolescents, comparing those using the automated system to those using their usual care plus a glucose monitor. Researchers also looked at how diabetes affects family life and teen psychology.
