Automated insulin delivery versus usual insulin care before and during pregnancy for women with type 1 diabetes
Official title: Automated Insulin Delivery Versus Usual Insulin Treatment Modality Before and During Pregnancy in Women With Type 1 Diabetes
Run by Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet · NCT07240012 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tries to see if starting the CamAPS FX automated insulin delivery system before or in early pregnancy helps women with type 1 diabetes keep blood sugar in range more and supports healthier fetal growth compared with usual insulin care with continuous glucose monitoring.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Women aged 18–45 with type 1 diabetes for at least 12 months who are either planning pregnancy within 52 weeks or are pregnant with a single intrauterine fetus under 14 weeks and who can read and speak Danish are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Women who cannot communicate in Danish, have severe psychiatric or other medical barriers, have multiple pregnancies, or do not meet the age or diabetes-duration criteria are unlikely to receive benefit from participation.

What this trial studies
This is a national, open-label, randomized controlled trial in Denmark comparing the CamAPS FX automated closed-loop insulin delivery system with usual insulin modality (multiple daily injections or pump) combined with compatible continuous glucose monitoring. Women planning pregnancy (randomized before conception and followed for up to 52 weeks) or women already pregnant at under 14 completed weeks are randomized to start CamAPS FX or continue usual insulin care. Participants are followed through pregnancy, delivery, and until one month after delivery, with primary outcomes including maternal time in glycemic target ranges and fetal growth measures. The trial is conducted at multiple university-affiliated centers with local referral back to pregnancy diabetes care as needed.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the intervention could increase time spent with blood glucose in target and reduce abnormal fetal growth and pregnancy-related complications.
How similar studies have gone: Automated closed-loop systems have improved time-in-range in nonpregnant adults and small pregnancy pilot studies have shown promising results, but large randomized trials in early pregnancy remain limited.
