NCT ID NCT05014789

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested an updated version of the Control-IQ system, which automatically adjusts insulin delivery for people with type 1 diabetes. Sixty-six adults and adolescents used the new software along with a continuous glucose monitor for several weeks. The main goal was to see if the improvements could reduce dangerously low blood sugar levels and prevent severe hypoglycemia and diabetic ketoacidosis.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Control-IQ technology 2.0 (a software update for the t:slim X2 insulin pump) used with the Dexcom G6 continuous glucose monitor

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a safer, more effective automated insulin delivery system that reduces the risk of severe low blood sugar in people with type 1 diabetes.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early feasibility study (66 participants) testing planned improvements, not a final product. The results may not apply to all users, and the technology could still have safety issues or fail to perform as expected.
