Summary

In previous studies, investigators have studied if a pre-meal insulin bolus based on estimated carbohydrate meal size would alleviate the burden of carbohydrate counting without a significant degradation in postprandial glucose control. With this strategy, the patient would only have to evaluate the size of the meal in terms of carbohydrate (snack, regular, large or very large). It is however important to establish the safety of this simplified meal bolus approach. The safety of overestimating a meal insulin bolus in the context of closed-loop strategy needs to be assessed. For ethical reasons, only dual-hormone closed-loop will be tested. Investigators hypothesize that dual-hormone closed-loop with overestimated meal size bolus will not increase time below 4.0 mmol/L compared to dual-hormone closed-loop with an adequately estimated meal size bolus.

Conditions

• Type 1 Diabetes

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Dual-hormone closed-loop	Interventions will be undertaken 1 to 5 days after sensor insertion. Subjects will be admitted at the research center at 7:00. Subject's pump will be substituted with the study pump and an additional pump containing glucagon will be installed. At 7:00, closed-loop will be initiated. At 9:00, a standardized breakfast (45g CHO) will be served. Study subjects will consume the same meal on the two intervention days. During the intervention, patients will be allowed to do sedentary activities. Patients will be allowed to consume caffeine during the intervention, but will have to replicate their caffeine consumption on both interventions. The intervention day will end at 13:00.
DRUG	Insulin	Participant's usual fast-acting insulin analog will be used: Lispro (Humalog), Aspart (NovoRapid) or Glulisine (Apidra).
DRUG	Glucagon	Glucagon (Eli Lilly) will be used during dual-hormone closed-loop strategy.
DEVICE	Dexcom G4 Platinum glucose sensor
DEVICE	Accu Chek Combo insulin pump
