Use of open-source artificial pancreas systems in people with Type 1 Diabetes in China

The Safety and Efficacy of Open-Source Artificial Pancreas System Among People With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus in China

Third Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University · NCT06081231

This study looks at how well open-source artificial pancreas systems work for people with Type 1 Diabetes in China by checking their blood sugar control and how they feel after using the system for a few months.

What this trial studies

This observational study analyzes the use of open-source artificial pancreas systems (APS) among individuals with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) in China. It collects data through clinical routines, questionnaires, and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) from participants who have been using the APS for at least three months. The study aims to evaluate glycemic control and patient-reported outcomes by comparing baseline data with follow-up data collected at various intervals. No additional medical interventions or tests are required beyond standard clinical care.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are individuals diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes who have been using an open-source APS for at least three months and reside in China.

Not a fit: Patients who do not use an open-source APS or have not been diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide insights into the effectiveness of open-source APS in improving glycemic control for patients with Type 1 Diabetes.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results with similar approaches to automated insulin delivery systems, indicating potential for success in this observational study.
