This trial aims to study the use of a new type of insulin pump therapy called hybrid closed loop (HCL) in adults with type 1 diabetes from underserved communities. Previous studies have shown that

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with Type 1 Diabetes, particularly from underserved communities who may have higher A1c levels and more complications. It's designed to be inclusive, even if participants have significantly elevated A1c values.
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness of three FDA-approved Hybrid Closed Loop (HCL) systems compared to standard glucose monitoring and injection therapy in managing diabetes over a 9-month period. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of these treatments.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include risks associated with diabetic management devices such as diabetic ketoacidosis or severe hypoglycemia events due to fluctuations in blood sugar levels.
