NCT ID NCT05282264

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study looked at whether people with severe, long-term uncontrolled type 1 diabetes would accept and benefit from a closed-loop insulin delivery system (an 'artificial pancreas'). Researchers followed 66 adults with very high blood sugar levels over several years. The goal was to see how many kept using the system and whether it improved their blood sugar control.

Active substance

closed-loop insulin delivery system

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that closed-loop insulin systems are acceptable and helpful for people with very poorly controlled type 1 diabetes.

What could go wrong

This is a small, single-center observational study, not a randomized trial. Results may not apply to all patients, and the system may not work as well in real-world settings.
