Medtronic Treat to Range (TTR) Closed-Loop Control

Medtronic Treat to Range (TTR) Closed-Loop Control: Tuning a Treat-to-Range Controller for the Effects of High and Low Glycemic Index Meals

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a treat-to-range automated insulin management system using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and subcutaneous insulin pump infusion in individuals with type 1 diabetes.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Diabetes Mellitus; Type 1 Diabetes; Metabolic and Nutritional Disorders
• Intervention / Treatment: Device: TTR controller (Medtronic)

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of a closed-loop "treat-to-range" (TTR) system in an inpatient clinical research center setting. The TTR system only effects insulin delivery when the glucose is projected to be above or below specified target ranges. These initial studies will assess the safety of this algorithm (mathematical equation) under the extreme conditions of a missed meal insulin bolus and meal over-insulinization. This is a "hybrid" system, which allows the research team to deliver insulin boluses manually with the TTR controller only becoming active when blood glucose levels are projected to be out of the specified range.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Asthma if treated with systemic or inhaled corticosteroids in the last 6 months; Subject has taken oral or injectable corticosteroids within the last 30 days; Current use of oral/inhaled Glucocorticoids
2. Cystic fibrosis
3. Inpatient psychiatric treatment in the past 6 months for either the subject or the subject's primary care giver (i.e., parent or guardian)
4. Use of non-insulin medications that may affect blood glucose (eg Symlin),
5. Systolic blood pressure >140 on screening; Diastolic blood pressure >90 on screening
6. History of seizure or loss of consciousness in the last 6 months.
7. Adhesive allergies; Active skin condition that would affect sensor placement

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Intervention / Treatment

EXPERIMENTAL: TTR controller; The intervention will consist of using the TTR controller (Medtronic) for post-prandial glucose control following high and low glycemic meals

Device: TTR controller (Medtronic); Subjects will arrive in the morning and the TTR controller (Medtronic) will be initialized, and then they will give their usual premeal insulin bolus for breakfast. At lunch, they will either have a low glycemic index meal or a high glycemic index meal and the meal bolus will be omitted. The device will be turned off before dinner, they will have their usual insulin bolus for dinner, eat dinner, and then be discharged to home. On another admission, they will receive an insulin dose before lunch which will be 120% of their usual insulin bolus.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Safety and Feasibility of TTR Closed-loop Control System as Measure by the Count of Successful Hospital Admissions	A successful hospital admission was defined as requiring no more than 2 TTR closed-loop control system adjustments of algorithm tuning parameters after initial set up, and not meeting any stopping criteria. The system was considered feasible if 75% of hospital admissions were successful.	Day of hospital admission (12 hours)
