Could starting an insulin pump at home be safe and better for patients?
NCT ID NCT07492992
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether people with type 1 diabetes can safely start using an advanced hybrid closed-loop insulin pump system at home instead of in the hospital. Researchers will track blood sugar levels, quality of life, and costs over 12 months in 80 adults. Participants receive online training, a home visit from a nurse, and remote monitoring every two weeks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Tandem with Control-IQ hybrid closed-loop insulin pump system
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that starting the insulin pump at home is safe and effective, potentially reducing hospital visits and improving quality of life for people with type 1 diabetes.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study with only 80 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The home setup might not be as safe as hospital-based initiation, and technical issues could arise.

Who is studied
The study population consists of adults with type 1 diabetes receiving routine clinical care at public hospitals located in the Region of Murcia, Spain. To minimize selection bias, eligible patients will be invited to participate consecutively as they are identified as candidates for AHCL initiation during routine clinical practice.
