Trial Outcomes & Findings for Development of Algorithms for a Hypoglycemic Prevention Alarm: Closed Loop Study (NCT NCT00884611)

NCT ID: NCT00884611

Last Updated: 2018-02-28

Results Overview

Nights with CGM sensor values \< 60 mg/dL were considered to be undesirable. A Kalman filter-based model algorithm predicted whether the sensor glucose level would fall below 80 mg/dL and would suspend insulin delivery as needed. Participants may have received treatment using one or more of the following algorithms: Algorithm 1 had a hypoglycaemic prediction horizon of 70 minutes; algorithm 2: 50 minutes; algorithm 3: 30 minutes.

Measure
Predictive Suspend
Participants had continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) using a glucose sensor and received insulin from an insulin pump during sleep. On intervention nights, participants received insulin uising an algorithm that allowed a computer to assess the data received from the CGM sensor and suspend insulin delivery to avoid potential hypoglycaemia. On control night, participants received insulin delivery as normally received by the insulin pump. Participants had 2 intervention nights to each control night.
