This study is randomized controlled trial of 3 month at home closed-loop control (CLC) system vs sensor and pump therapy (S&P), with a 3-month extension phase. The objective is to assess the efficacy and safety of home use of a Control-to-Range (CTR) closed-loop (CL) system in patients with type 1 diabetes prone to hypoglycemia.~The CLC system will consist of Tandem Control-IQ Automated Insulin Delivery System (AIDS), including Tandem X2 insulin pump with embedded Control-IQ algorithm and Dexcom G6 CGM~After consent is signed, eligibility will be assessed. All participants will initiate a run-in phase of 2 weeks of blinded Dexcom G6 CGM wear and personal insulin pump.~Prior to overall initiation of the RCT, the time spent with CGM below 70 mg/dl during the run-in phase will be assessed. Only patients showing % time with CGM <70 mg/dl of 5% or above can be randomized. Included patients who cannot be randomized will be replaced.~Subsequent participants who show randomization criteria during the run-in phase will be randomly assigned 2:1 to the use of closed-loop control (CLC) using Tandem Control-IQ vs S&P for 3 months, which is the timing of the primary outcome for the RCT.~After 3 months, the S&P group will use CLC for up to 3 months and the CLC group will continue using CLC for up to 3 additional months.
This study is a RCT of 3 month at home comparing closed-loop control (CLC) system vs sensor and pump therapy (S&P), with a 3-month extension phase, in Type 1 diabetic patient prone to hypoglycemia. After a 2-week run-in phase with blinded CGM, patients who spent 5% or more time below 70mg/dL will be eligible to continue. They will will be randomly assigned 2:1 to the use of closed-loop control (CLC) using Tandem Control-IQ vs S&P for 3 months, which is the timing of the primary outcome for the RCT. After 3 months, the S&P group will use CLC for up to 3 months and the CLC group will continue using CLC for up to 3 additional months.
