Aims: To assess how automated insulin delivery (AID) impacts sleep in young people with type 1 diabetes and suboptimal glycaemia (HbA1c ≥ 69 mmol/mol).
Methods: We conducted a randomised controlled trial comparing AID to usual care in 80 participants (aged 7-25 years) over 13 weeks. Sleep was a secondary outcome assessed at baseline and 13 weeks using questionnaires (subjective) and accelerometry (objective).
Aims: The MiniMed™ 780G improves glycaemia and reduces burden in type 1 diabetes. We investigated how new all-in-one "Simplera Sync™" sensors and 7-day Extended™ Wear Infusion Sets (EIS) affect glycaemia and system performance in young people with previously elevated HbA1c levels (≥69 mmol/mol [≥8%]) after transitioning from 780G with Guardian 4™ sensors and 3-day infusion sets.
Methods: We conducted an extension phase analysis in 75 participants (aged 7-25 years) initially enrolled in the CO-PILOT randomised controlled trial.

To investigate 12-month glycemic and psychosocial changes following transition from multiple daily injections (MDI) to advanced hybrid closed-loop (AHCL) therapy in youth (aged 13-25 years) with type 1 diabetes and suboptimal glycemia (glycated hemoglobin [HbA] ≥8.5% [69 mmol/mol]). Prospective, single arm, dual-center study in 20 participants.

To assess long-term efficacy and safety of open-source automated insulin delivery (AID) in children and adults (7-70 years) with type 1 diabetes. Both arms of a 24-week randomized controlled trial comparing open-source AID (OpenAPS algorithm within a modified version of AndroidAPS, preproduction DANA-i™ insulin pump, Dexcom G6 continuous glucose monitor) with sensor-augmented pump therapy (SAPT), entered a 24-week continuation phase where the SAPT arm (termed SAPT-AID) crossed over to join the open-source AID arm (termed AID-AID). Most participants (69/94) used a preproduction YpsoPump insulin pump during the continuation phase.

Research Design And Methods: This prospective, 3-month, single-arm, dual-center study enrolled 20 participants, and all completed the study.

Background: Open-source automated insulin delivery (AID) systems are used by many patients with type 1 diabetes. Data are needed on the efficacy and safety of an open-source AID system.
Methods: In this multicenter, open-label, randomized, controlled trial, we assigned patients with type 1 diabetes in a 1:1 ratio to use an open-source AID system or a sensor-augmented insulin pump (control).

Background: Automated insulin delivery aims to lower treatment burden and improve quality of life as well as glycemic outcomes.
Methods: We present sub-study data from a dual-center, randomized, open-label, two-sequence crossover study in automated insulin delivery naïve users, comparing Medtronic MiniMed® Advanced Hybrid Closed-Loop (AHCL) to Sensor Augmented Pump therapy with Predictive Low Glucose Management (SAP + PLGM). At the end of each 4-week intervention, impacts on quality of life, sleep and treatment satisfaction were compared using seven age-appropriate validated questionnaires given to patients or caregivers.
Objective: To study the MiniMed Advanced Hybrid Closed-Loop (AHCL) system, which includes an algorithm with individualized basal target set points, automated correction bolus function, and improved Auto Mode stability.
Research Design And Methods: This dual-center, randomized, open-label, two-sequence crossover study in automated-insulin-delivery-naive participants with type 1 diabetes (aged 7-80 years) compared AHCL to sensor-augmented pump therapy with predictive low glucose management (SAP + PLGM). Each study phase was 4 weeks, preceded by a 2- to 4-week run-in and separated by a 2-week washout.

The effect of 6 months combined, continuous hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with conjugated equine oestrogen (0.625 mg) and medroxyprogesterone acetate (2.5 mg) on albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) was determined in postmenopausal diabetic women in a randomised, controlled study.
