Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Experimental Involving Automated CTR
Closed-Loop Control: Insulin delivery will be controlled by the Diabetes Assistant (DiAs) system running in Control to Range (CTR) or in Safety Only mode. Subjects will interact with the system through its Graphic User Interface (GUI). Subjects will not be allowed to administer correction boluses between meals and snacks as the DiAs will automatically be adjusting insulin to correct for hyperglycemia. The total doses recommended by the DiAs prior to meals and snacks includes the correction dose and Insulin on Board (IOB) calculated by the system.
Diabetes Assistant (DiAs)
A medical platform that uses a smart-phone to connect to a continuous glucose sensor to insulin pump and run closed-loop control. The cell phone runs the Control to Range and is connected to work with the insulin pump and continuous glucose monitor to help keep the blood sugar in a desired range (80-180 mg/dL during the day) and help avoid hypoglycemia during the night.
CGM-Augmented Insulin Pump Treatment
Open Loop Control: Insulin delivery will be controlled by the Diabetes Assistant (DiAs) system running in open-loop mode. Subjects will interact with the system through its Graphic User Interface (GUI). Subjects will be permitted to administer correction boluses at any time during the Control Admission, whether or not they are eating a scheduled meal or snack. DiAs will be initialized with the subject's typical insulin pump settings. Subjects will be reminded that all treatment decisions should be based on fingerstick values and not on continuous glucose monitor (CGM) values.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
2. Clinical diagnosis of type 1 diabetes mellitus. For an individual to be enrolled at least one criterion from each list must be met.
o Criteria for documented hyperglycemia (at least 1 must be met): i. Fasting glucose ≥126 mg/dL - confirmed ii. Two-hour Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) glucose ≥200 mg/dL - confirmed iii. HbA1c ≥6.5% documented - confirmed iv. Random glucose ≥200 mg/dL with symptoms v. No data at diagnosis is available but the participant has a convincing history of hyperglycemia consistent with diabetes
o Criteria for requiring insulin at diagnosis (1 must be met): i. Participant required insulin at diagnosis and continually thereafter ii. Participant did not start insulin at diagnosis but upon investigator review likely needed insulin (significant hyperglycemia that did not respond to oral agents) and did require insulin eventually and used continually iii. Participant did not start insulin at diagnosis but continued to be hyperglycemic, had positive islet cell antibodies - consistent with latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) and did require insulin eventually and used continually
3. Use of an insulin pump to treat his/her diabetes for at least 1 year.
4. Familiarity with a bolus calculator with the current insulin pump with pre-defined parameters for carbohydrate (CHO) ratio, insulin sensitivity factor (ISF), target glucose and active insulin.
5. HbA1c \<9% as measured with DCA2000 or equivalent device.
6. Not currently known to be pregnant, breast feeding, or intending to become pregnant (females).
7. Demonstration of proper mental status and cognition for the study.
8. Willingness to avoid consumption of acetaminophen-containing products during the study interventions involving CGM use.
9. If on antihypertensive, thyroid, anti-depressant or lipid lowering medication, have stability on the medication for at least 2 months prior to enrollment in the study.
Exclusion Criteria
2. Pregnancy; breast feeding, or intention of becoming pregnant.
3. Uncontrolled arterial hypertension (Resting diastolic blood pressure \>90 mmHg and/or systolic blood pressure \>160 mmHg).
4. Conditions which may increase the risks associated with possible hypoglycemia, such as any active cardiac disorder/arrhythmia, uncontrolled coronary artery disease during the previous year (e.g. history of myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndrome, therapeutic coronary intervention, coronary bypass or stenting procedure, stable or unstable angina, episode of chest pain of cardiac etiology with documented EKG changes, or positive stress test or catheterization with coronary blockages \>50%), congestive heart failure, history of cerebrovascular event, seizure disorder, syncope, adrenal insufficiency, neurologic disease or atrial fibrillation.
5. Self-reported hypoglycemia unawareness.
6. History of a systemic or deep tissue infection with methicillin-resistant staph aureus or Candida albicans.
7. Use of a device that may pose electromagnetic compatibility issues and/or radiofrequency interference with the CGM (implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, electronic pacemaker, neurostimulator, intrathecal pump, and cochlear implants).
8. Anticoagulant therapy other than aspirin.
9. Oral steroids.
10. Medical condition requiring use of an acetaminophen-containing medication that cannot be withheld for the study admissions.
11. Psychiatric disorders that would interfere with study tasks (e.g. inpatient psychiatric treatment within 6 months prior to enrollment).
12. Mental incapacity, unwillingness or language barriers precluding adequate understanding or cooperation.
13. Known current or recent alcohol or drug abuse.
14. Medical conditions that would make operating a CGM, the DiAs cell phone or insulin pump difficult (e.g. blindness, severe arthritis, immobility).
15. Any skin condition that prevents sensor or pump placement on the abdomen or arm (e.g. bad sunburn, pre-existing dermatitis, intertrigo, psoriasis, extensive scarring, cellulitis).
16. In adherence with the One Touch Ultra 2 User Guide, subjects with hematocrit levels less than 30% and above 55% will be excluded.
17. Impaired hepatic function measured as alanine aminotransferase or aspartate aminotransferase ≥three times the upper reference limit.
18. Impaired renal function measured as creatinine \>1.2 times above the upper limit of normal.
19. Uncontrolled microvascular (diabetic) complications, such as current proliferative diabetic retinopathy or macular edema, known diabetic nephropathy (other than microalbuminuria with normal creatinine) or neuropathy requiring treatment.
20. Active gastroparesis requiring current medical therapy.
21. If on antihypertensive, thyroid, anti-depressant or lipid lowering medication, lack of stability on the medication for the past 2 months prior to enrollment in the study.
22. Uncontrolled thyroid disease.
23. Known bleeding diathesis or dyscrasia.
24. Known allergy to medical adhesives, components of the insulin pump insertion set or continuous glucose monitor sensor.
25. Active enrollment in another clinical trial.
26. Use of anti-diabetic agents other than continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) including long-acting insulin, intermediate-acting insulin, metformin, sulfonylureas, meglitinides, thiazolidinediones, DPP-IV inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide 1 agonists, and alpha-glucosidase inhibitors
27. Subjects with basal rates less than 0.01U/hr.
