Using a hybrid closed-loop system to manage blood sugar in neurosurgery patients with diabetes
Official title: Application of the Hybrid Closed-Loop Artificial Pancreas System in Neurosurgical Perioperative Hyperglycemic Patients: An Open, Randomized Controlled Trial
Run by Shanxi Bethune Hospital · NCT06909071 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing if a new hybrid closed-loop system can help manage blood sugar better than a traditional insulin pump for patients with type 2 diabetes who are having neurosurgery.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 75 with T2DM who are undergoing neurosurgical procedures and meet specific blood glucose criteria.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with diabetic emergencies or those with type 1 diabetes or other special types of diabetes may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates the effectiveness of a hybrid closed-loop artificial pancreas system for managing blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) undergoing neurosurgery. A total of 40 patients will be randomly assigned to either the hybrid system or a traditional insulin pump combined with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). The study aims to compare the blood glucose control and postoperative complications between the two treatment regimens. Data will be collected during and after treatment to assess the clinical efficacy and safety of the hybrid system.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to improved blood glucose control and reduced complications for T2DM patients undergoing neurosurgery.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise with hybrid closed-loop systems in diabetes management, suggesting potential for success in this approach.

Fasting blood glucose ≥ 7.0 mmol/L or random blood glucose ≥ 11.1 mmol/L. 4. Those who have signed the informed consent form and are willing to participate in this clinical trial voluntarily. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with diabetic emergencies, such as diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperglycemic hyperosmolar coma, etc. 2. Patients with type 1 diabetes or other special types of diabetes. 3. Patients with severe cardiac and renal dysfunction: those with cardiac function above grade III; those with serum creatinine exceeding 442 μmol/L. 4.
