Insulin pump versus insulin shots for type 1 diabetes control
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study compares an insulin pump to insulin shots to see which better improves blood sugar control and reduces swings in people with type 1 diabetes. You may be included if your diabetes is not well controlled despite education and you’ve had low blood sugar episodes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have type 1 diabetes for at least 12 months
- Your recent lab test HbA1c is 7.5% or higher despite diabetes education
- You’ve had repeated severe low blood sugar episodes or big swings in glucose
- You are willing and able to wear and use an insulin pump during the study
- You must not have used an insulin pump before

This study tests an insulin pump to help people with type 1 diabetes keep their blood sugar in a healthy range more of the time. You'll wear the pump and share weekly data with the study team.
This study tests a system that measures blood sugar and automatically adjusts insulin delivery. It is for adults with type 1 diabetes who use insulin injections or a pump.
This study tests a new automated insulin delivery system to help people with type 1 diabetes better manage their blood sugar. It aims to see if the system improves glucose control safely.
This study tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) system can help manage insulin pump therapy remotely for people with type 1 diabetes. The goal is to improve blood sugar control and make diabetes management easier.
This study compares two versions of the Omnipod insulin pump system to see if the newer Omnipod 6 works better at managing blood sugar than the current Omnipod 5. You'll wear one of these systems for several months and share data about how well it helps control your diabetes.
This study compares two advanced treatments for type 1 diabetes that is hard to control: a closed-loop insulin pump system (which automatically adjusts insulin) versus islet cell transplantation (which replaces the cells that make insulin). It is for people whose blood sugar stays very unstable despite using the best current therapies.
