Summary

This trial is testing a new smart insulin system (NAP) against an existing one (UMPC) in adults using advanced insulin pumps. Both systems automatically adjust insulin based on blood sugar readings to maintain healthy levels. These systems have been developed to improve type 1 diabetes management by automating insulin delivery without needing extra doses before meals.

Eligible Conditions
  • Type 1 Diabetes
