Here is a report on a trial of that system.
Randomized Trial of Closed-Loop Control in Very Young Children with Type 1 Diabetes
A hybrid closed-loop system significantly improved glycemic control in very young children with type 1 diabetes, without increasing the time spent in hypoglycemia. (Funded by the European Commission and others; ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT03784027. opens in new tab.)
Published in the New England Journal of Medicine, their study compared the performance of the innovative artificial pancreas, which utilizes an advanced algorithm to regulate insulin delivery through a wearable device, against the conventional 'sensor-augmented pump therapy.' The results are nothing short of remarkable, revealing the artificial pancreas's safety and superior effectiveness in managing blood sugar levels in these vulnerable young patients.
Young children with diabetes are at increased risk of experiencing dangerously low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia) and high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia), which can have long-lasting consequences on their health and development. Previous studies have linked prolonged hyperglycemia in children with type 1 diabetes to lower IQ scores and slower brain growth.
