“…Between 2008 and 2011, promising results from inpatient closed-loop control studies were reported by several groups. [40][41][42][43][44][45] The results from these investigations were summarized in a 2011 review of the artificial pancreas field, 46 pointing out the superiority of closed-loop control over insulin pump therapy in terms of (1) increased time within target glucose range, (2) reduced incidence of hypoglycemia, and (3) better overnight control. Subsequent studies confirmed these findings in outpatient setting, 47 at diabetes camps for children, 48 and at patients' homes.…”

Background: The level of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) accuracy needed for insulin dosing using sensor values (i.e., the level of accuracy permitting non-adjunct CGM use) is a topic of ongoing debate. Assessment of this level in clinical experiments is virtually impossible because the magnitude of CGM errors cannot be manipulated and related prospectively to clinical outcomes. Materials and Methods: A combination of archival data (parallel CGM, insulin pump, self-monitoring of blood glucose [SMBG] records, and meals for 56 pump users with type 1 diabetes) and in silico experiments was used to ''replay'' real-life treatment scenarios and relate sensor error to glycemic outcomes. Nominal blood glucose (BG) traces were extracted using a mathematical model, yielding 2,082 BG segments each initiated by insulin bolus and confirmed by SMBG. These segments were replayed at seven sensor accuracy levels (mean absolute relative differences [MARDs] of 3-22%) testing six scenarios: insulin dosing using sensor values, threshold, and predictive alarms, each without or with considering CGM trend arrows. Results: In all six scenarios, the occurrence of hypoglycemia (frequency of BG levels £ 50 mg/dL and BG levels £ 39 mg/dL) increased with sensor error, displaying an abrupt slope change at MARD = 10%. Similarly, hyperglycemia (frequency of BG levels ‡ 250 mg/dL and BG levels ‡ 400 mg/dL) increased and displayed an abrupt slope change at MARD = 10%. When added to insulin dosing decisions, information from CGM trend arrows, threshold, and predictive alarms resulted in improvement in average glycemia by 1.86, 8.17, and 8.88 mg/dL, respectively. Conclusions: Using CGM for insulin dosing decisions is feasible below a certain level of sensor error, estimated in silico at MARD = 10%. In our experiments, further accuracy improvement did not contribute substantively to better glycemic outcomes.

Background: Studies of closed-loop control (CLC) systems have improved glucose levels in patients with type 1 diabetes. In this study we test a new CLC concept aiming to ''reset'' the patient overnight to nearnormoglycemia each morning, for several consecutive nights. Subjects and Methods: Ten insulin pump users with type 1 diabetes (mean age, 46.4 -8.5 years) were enrolled in a two-center (in the United States and Italy) randomized crossover trial comparing 5 consecutive nights of CLC (23:00-07:00 h) in an outpatient setting versus sensor-augmented insulin pump therapy of the same duration at home. Primary end points included time spent in 80-140 mg/dL as measured by continuous glucose monitoring overnight and fasting blood glucose distribution at 7:00 h. Results: Compared with sensor-augmented pump therapy, CLC improved significantly time spent between 80 and 140 mg/dL (54.5% vs. 32.2%; P < 0.001) and between 70 and 180 mg/dL (85.4% vs. 59.1%; P < 0.001); CLC reduced the mean glucose level at 07:00 h (119.3 vs. 152.9 mg/dL; P < 0.001) and overnight mean glucose level (139.0 vs. 170.3 mg/dL; P < 0.001) using a marginally lower amount of insulin (6.1 vs. 6.8 units; P = 0.1). Tighter overnight control led to improved daytime control on the next day: the overnight/next-day control correlation was r = 0.52, P < 0.01. Conclusions: Multinight CLC of insulin delivery (artificial pancreas) results in significant improvement in morning and overnight glucose levels and time in target range, with the potential to improve daytime control when glucose levels were ''reset'' to near-normoglycemia each morning.

“…Another prospect is the integration of CGM in closed-loop systems ("artificial pancreas") capable of automated delivery of insulin according to the glucose level data and their short-term tendency [57]. These models have already proven in a hospital milieu their safety and effectiveness in the prevention of nocturnal hypoglycaemic events in adults [58] and in children and adolescents [59].…”
