Automated insulin pump versus daily injections in hospital
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Infections clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of managing blood sugar in the hospital for people with Type 2 diabetes who need insulin. You would either use an automated insulin pump (a small device that delivers insulin continuously) or continue with daily insulin injections, and researchers will see which works better during your hospital stay.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have Type 2 diabetes that requires insulin injections
- You are at least 18 years old
- You are being admitted to the hospital for an infection or other acute illness for at least 2 days
- You do not currently use an insulin pump or automated insulin delivery system
- You have no severe skin conditions that would prevent wearing a sensor or pump on your skin
- You are able to understand and follow the trial plan and communicate with the research team

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) when you leave the hospital helps control blood sugar better. If you have type 2 diabetes and use insulin, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a digital diabetes management tool for people with type 2 diabetes or new high blood sugar who need insulin injections while in the hospital. It aims to see if this tool helps control blood sugar better.
This trial compares your current insulin pump therapy with a fully automated closed-loop system (artificial pancreas) that adjusts insulin using a smartphone algorithm. It aims to see which method works better for managing blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes.
This study tests a new hybrid closed-loop system (an automated insulin pump) in people with type 1 diabetes whose blood sugar is not well controlled. It aims to see if the system is safe and helps improve glucose levels.
This study tests a new automated insulin delivery (AID) system that connects your insulin pump to your glucose monitor to help keep your blood sugar in range. It is for both children and adults with type 1 diabetes who have not used an AID system before.
This trial tests a 'closed-loop' system that automatically adjusts insulin delivery for people with type 2 diabetes. If you already use insulin and certain diabetes medications, this study could help see if a smart insulin pump improves blood sugar control.
