Measure
Standard Insulin Pump Therapy First
The subjects in this arm received Standard Insulin Pump therapy on day 1 followed by Closed-Loop Insulin therapy on day 2. Closed-loop Insulin therapy: Subjects' insulin dose will be adjusted based on a proportional-integral-derivative algorithm using the continuous glucose monitor readings from 10 PM - noon. Standard Insulin Pump Therapy: Patients will receive standard insulin pump therapy as per their usual home insulin protocol.
