Summary

Closed-loop strategy is composed of three components: glucose sensor to read glucose levels, insulin pump to infuse insulin and a dosing mathematical algorithm to decide on the required insulin dosage based on the sensor's readings. A dual-hormone closed-loop system would regulate glucose levels through the infusion of two hormones: insulin and glucagon.

The objective of this project is to assess whether a dual-hormone closed-loop strategy would alleviate the burden of carbohydrate counting from patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) without a significant degradation in post-meal glucose control.

Our primary hypothesis is that meal-announcement strategy (pre-meal CHO-independent bolus) is equivalent to meal-and-carbohydrate-announcement strategy (full CHO-matching bolus) during closed-loop regulation of glucose levels in adults with T1D. Our secondary hypothesis is that closed-loop strategy with meal-announcement strategy (pre-meal CHO-independent bolus) or meal-and-carbohydrate-announcement strategy (full CHO-matching bolus) is better than conventional pump treatment in regulation of glucose levels in adults with T1D.

Interventions

OTHER

14 hours intervention

Subjects will be admitted at the IRCM at 6:30. Subjects will be asked to fast from midnight. At 8:00, a standardized (50g CHO for males; 30g CHO for females) meal will be served. At 12:00, a standardized (120g CHO for males; 90g CHO for females) meal will be served. At 17:00, a standardized (70g CHO for males; 50g CHO for females) meal will be served. Between meals, patients will be allowed to do sedentary activities (reading, watching television, and playing video games, etc).
