Can DIY insulin algorithms match commercial systems for pregnant women with type 1 diabetes?
NCT ID NCT06654713
First seen Jul 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 28, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This observational study follows 1,000 pregnant people with type 1 diabetes who use either a commercial or an open-source automated insulin delivery (AID) system. Researchers aim to compare maternal and neonatal outcomes, blood sugar control, and emotional well-being between the two groups. Participants share device data, complete surveys, and allow access to medical records.
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 (AID) systems — both commercial and open-source versions
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help identify which type of automated insulin system works best for managing diabetes during pregnancy, potentially improving outcomes for mothers and babies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may be influenced by differences in user behavior or system settings.
