New insulin pump software tested in kids as young as 2
NCT ID NCT06717451
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Sep 02, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study is checking how safe and effective an updated insulin pump system (Control-IQ 1.5) is for children ages 2 to 6 with type 1 diabetes. About 144 kids will use the pump for a year while researchers track dangerous low blood sugar events and diabetic ketoacidosis. The goal is to see if the technology helps keep blood sugar in a healthy range in real-world settings.
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 v1.5 (insulin pump software)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that the updated pump system is safe and effective for very young children, helping them maintain better blood sugar control.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-arm observational study with no comparison group, so results may not prove the device is better than other options. Risks include severe hypoglycemia or diabetic ketoacidosis.

Inclusion Criteria: * Self-reported type 1 diabetes who have been prescribed the Control-IQ 1.5 system in the t:slim X2 or Mobi insulin pump * Age 2 to \<6 years at time of screening * Using an insulin approved for use in the pump * Using an iCGM sensor approved for use with the pump * Agreement to use Control-IQ technology 1.5, and to continue use for at least 12 consecutive months after study enrollment. * Agree to provide HbA1c result, obtained within the 6-month period prior to enrollment. * Ability for parent/guardian to respond to alerts and alarms, and to provide basic diabetes self-management. * Reside full-time in the United States. * Willingness to download the t:connect Mobile application to their smartphone and keep it active throughout the study if using a Tandem t:slim X2 pump. Participants who are unable to use the t:connect mobile application must be willing to manually upload their insulin pump data to Tandem Source every three months and at the completion of the study. * Participant's parent/guardian has read, understood and agreed to participate in the study, and has electronically signed the Informed Consent Form (ICF). Exclusion Criteria: * Use of any glucose-lowering therapy other than insulin. * A medical or other condition, or medications being taken that in the investigator's judgement would be a safety concern for participation in the study.
