An artificial pancreas system proved more effective at controlling nocturnal glucose levels than a sensor-augmented insulin pump, in a study of children with Type 1 diabetes treated outside the hospital setting in a diabetes camp, report researchers.

During the study, conducted at three diabetes youth camps in Israel, Slovenia, and Germany, use of the MD-Logic Artificial Pancreas system resulted in less nocturnal hypoglycemia and tighter nocturnal glucose control than use of a sensor-augmented pump system, report Moshe Phillip (Schneider Children's Medical Center, Israel) and colleagues.
