Artificial pancreas trial aims to simplify diabetes management
NCT ID NCT06579404
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a fully closed-loop insulin delivery system (an "artificial pancreas") can better control blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes who use insulin, compared to their usual insulin therapy with a continuous glucose monitor. About 224 participants will use either the automated system or standard care for 26 weeks. The goal is to see if the closed-loop system improves HbA1c levels and keeps glucose in a healthy range without increasing dangerous low blood sugar episodes.

Inclusion Criteria: * Aged 18 years and older * Type 2 diabetes diagnosed for at least 12 months * Established on an SGLT2 inhibitor and/or GLP-1 receptor agonist for at least 3 months, or have been offered these therapies previously. * Treatment with insulin therapy for at least 6 months * HbA1c ≤ 15% (140 mmol/mol) analysis from local laboratory or equivalent * Willing to wear study devices and follow study instructions * Capacity to consent to participate in the study Exclusion Criteria: * Type 1 diabetes * Current use of insulin pump * Current use of any closed-loop system * Any physical/psychological disease or medication(s) likely to interfere with the conduct of the study and interpretation of the study results, as judged by study clinician * Known or suspected allergy against insulin * Medically documented allergy towards the adhesive * Pregnancy, planned pregnancy, or breast feeding * Severe visual impairment * Severe hearing impairment * Medically documented allergy towards the adhesive (glue) of plasters * Serious skin diseases located at places of the body, which potentially are possible to be used for localisation of the glucose sensor * Illicit drugs abuse * Prescription drugs abuse * Alcohol abuse
