Smart insulin pump could transform hospital diabetes care
NCT ID NCT07645079
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This trial compares an automated insulin delivery system (AID) to standard insulin injections for managing blood sugar in hospitalized adults with type 2 diabetes who have an infection. The AID system uses a continuous glucose monitor and a smart pump to automatically adjust insulin. The study aims to see if the AID system keeps blood sugar in a healthy range better than usual care. Participants are randomly assigned to either the AID system or standard insulin therapy, and their blood sugar levels are tracked throughout their hospital stay.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- automated insulin delivery system (mylife YpsoPump with FreeStyle Libre 3 sensor)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that automated insulin delivery is safer and more effective than standard care for managing blood sugar in hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small trial (92 participants) and results may not apply to all hospitals or patient groups. The device may not work as well in sicker patients or could have technical issues.

Inclusion Criteria: * A documented history of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) which requires subcutaneous insulin therapy * acute infectious disease of any kind * age ≥ 18 years old * willingness and ability to comply with theclinical investigation plan * ability to communicate with the trial personal * an expected length of hospital stay for at least 2 days after enrolment Exclusion Criteria: * Patients already using AID for their glycemic management * Patients in use of an insulin pump * Skin pathologies that hinder application of a FreeStyle Libre-3 CGM and mylife YpsoPump * Participation in another trial, which could influence the outcome of the trial * Any mental condition rendering the patient incapable of giving informed consent * Known or suspected allergy to adhesive material/tape of the Libre-3-sensor and/or YpsoPump * Any disease or condition which the investigator or treating physician feels would interfere with the trial or the safety of the patient * Diagnoses/treatments/clinical parameters prohibiting use of Insulin/AID such as * Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \<15 mL/min/1.73 m2 OR * Treated with hydroxyurea/hydroxycarbamide OR * Nutritional therapy (continuous enteral or parenteral feeding) OR * Clinically relevant pancreatic disease OR * Aystemic glucocorticoid treatment with prednisone equivalent dose \>5 mg/day OR * Expected to require admission to the intensive-care unit OR \> Patients in dialysis
