Brief Summary:
Closed-loop strategy is composed of three components: glucose sensor to read glucose levels, insulin pump to infuse insulin and a dosing mathematical algorithm to decide on the required insulin dosages based on the sensor's readings. A dual-hormone closed-loop system would regulate glucose levels through the infusion of two hormone: insulin and glucagon.
The main objective of this project is to compare the efficacy of single-hormone closed-loop strategy, dual-hormone closed-loop strategy and pump therapy to regulate overnight glucose levels in children with type 1 diabetes in a diabetes camp.
The investigators hypothesized that dual-hormone closed-loop strategy reduces the time spent in hypoglycemia in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) compared to single-hormone closed-loop strategy, which in turn is more effective than the conventional pump therapy to reduce time spent in hypoglycemia
Detailed Description:
Closed-loop strategy is composed of three components: glucose sensor to read glucose levels, insulin pump to infuse insulin and a dosing mathematical algorithm to decide on the required insulin dosages based on the sensor's readings. A dual-hormone closed-loop system would regulate glucose levels through the infusion of two hormone: insulin and glucagon.
The investigators aim to conduct a randomized three-way cross-over trial comparing single hormone closed-loop strategy, dual-hormone closed-loop strategy and the conventional pump therapy. The investigators aim to compare the three interventions for 3 consecutive nights in children with type 1 diabetes in a diabetes camp.
