Smart insulin pump shows promise for diabetics with kidney failure
NCT ID NCT06330194
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested an automated insulin delivery system (a smart pump) in 15 adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes who also had advanced kidney disease or were on dialysis. Participants used the system for 8 weeks, then switched to their usual care for another 8 weeks. The goal was to see if the smart pump could better control blood sugar levels and reduce dangerous lows compared to standard treatment.
