Overnight closed-loop insulin delivery is feasible, safe and effective for adolescents to use at home while unsupervised, according to research published in Diabetes Care.
Trial results of 16 pump-treated adolescents with type 1 diabetes aged 12 to 18 years showed that the systems improved glucose control during the day and night with reduced nocturnal hypoglycemia.
“The artificial pancreas can be safely used to improve overnight glucose control, providing a stepping stone for longer and larger clinical studies,”Roman Hovorka, PhD, of the Wellcome Trust-Medical Research Council Institute of Metabolic Science at the University of Cambridge, United Kingdom, told Endocrine Today.
