Summary
This trial will test whether using an extended bolus of insulin will improve glucose control during high-fat, high-protein meals, using a closed-loop system.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for teens (13-18) with Type 1 Diabetes who use a smartphone and the Control IQ closed-loop system. They must have an A1C over 6%, not be on new diabetes meds other than insulin, and agree to follow meal/study guidelines. It's not for those with severe diabetes complications, untreated thyroid issues, or certain chronic conditions.
What is being tested?
The study tests if extending the time insulin is delivered after eating high-fat/protein meals can better control blood sugar in Type 1 Diabetics using a closed-loop system. Participants will try both standard and extended boluses of insulin to see which manages glucose levels more effectively.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed, typical risks may include low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) from too much insulin or high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) if the dose isn't enough. There could also be discomfort at injection sites.
