Comparing simplified meal boluses to carb counting for teens with automated insulin pumps
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests if a simpler way of calculating meal insulin works as well as counting carbohydrates for teens using hybrid closed loop (automated insulin) systems. If you're a teen with type 1 diabetes and use an automated pump, this trial could help find an easier mealtime routine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes for at least one year
- Currently using a hybrid closed loop (automated insulin delivery) system
- Willing to avoid starting new non-insulin glucose-lowering medications during the study
- No severe low blood sugar with seizure or loss of consciousness in the last 6 months
- No diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in the last 6 months unless caused by illness or infusion set failure

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 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 semi-automated insulin pump system in very young children (ages 2–6) with type 1 diabetes. It aims to see if the device improves quality of life and blood sugar control.
This study tests a smart insulin pump system that adjusts automatically during exercise. It aims to make managing blood sugar easier and safer.
This study compares two ways of estimating meal size for people with type 1 diabetes who use automated insulin delivery systems. One method is detailed carb counting, the other is a simpler, qualitative estimate of meal size. The goal is to see which approach works better for managing blood sugar.
This study tests two methods for deciding how much insulin to take with meals: counting exact carbohydrates or using a simpler meal-size guide. It aims to see which approach works best for people with type 1 diabetes who already use multiple daily injections and have moderate to high blood sugar levels (HbA1c 7.5% to under 11%).
