A new delivery system has been evaluated and found to be safe and effective for young adults to use at home without any supervision needed....
Researchers evaluated a closed loop insulin delivery system with 16 type 1 adolescent participants between the ages 12-18. Results showed that the closed loop system improved glucose control throughout the day and night with less frequency of hypoglycemia overnight. Insulin was delivered by closed loop system for 3 weeks and then sensor augmented therapy for the following 3 weeks.
Between the two systems, the amount of time spent with glucose being in the target range of <70mg/dL were low in both groups, however nocturnal hypoglycemia was seen less frequently in the group with closed loop insulin delivery.

(70mg/dl = approx 4.0 mmol/l)
