Pediatric Diabetics Type 1 Using InsuPatch

September 4, 2014 updated by: Insuline Medical Ltd.

Evaluation of the Effect of lnsuPatch on the Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Properties of Rapid-Acting Insulin Analogs Given as a Bolus by Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion (CSII)

This study is a prospective, single-center, open label, randomized; two-arms cross over study.

This is the test protocol for the InsuPatch device, whose purpose is to improve insulin delivery into the blood when the insulin is infused using an insulin-infusion pump by controlled heating of the area surrounding the point of infusion.

Detailed Description

Twenty(20) type 1 children with Type 1 Diabetics Mellitus (TIDM) who are meeting the inclusion/exclusion criteria as outlined below and who provide written Informed Consent will be enrolled in the study.

The study will consist of an outpatient enrollment visit and two admissions(One clamps with the InsuPatch and one clamp without the InsuPatch) . Each Subject will thus serve as his/her own control.
