Participant Flow

Thirty-three subjects started the study. Nine discontinued after starting the study intervention: (1) data collection issues,(1) insulin parameter change needed, (5) personal reasons, and two subjects met stopping criteria - (1) glucagon \& (1) high ketones; 24 subjects completed the protocol.

Blinded continuous glucose monitor (CGM) data will be collected for \~28 days prior to the Experimental Admission and analyzed by the study team to determine the optimal insulin therapy parameters for each insulin pump and multiple daily injections (MDI) participant. These optimized parameters will be used during the \~48 hour Experimental Admission.

Experimental (Decision Support) Admission, Then Control (Usual Care) Admission
Blinded CGM data was collected for \~28 days prior to the Experimental Admission \& analyzed by the study team to determine the optimal insulin therapy parameters that would be used during the \~48 hour admission. Participants were instructed to record all meal information (i.e. carbohydrate quantity, insulin and self-monitoring blood glucose \[SMBGs\]) in the insulin pump during this Data Collection Phase. During the Experimental Admission, the DiAs (controlling the study pump) was programmed with the new optimized basal rates, correction factor, and carbohydrate ratios. These new parameters were applied during the entire admission. Once the insulin pump was functional, the pump dispensed insulin based on the optimized basal rates. The DiAs was "blinded", meaning the DiAs User Interface didn't display the CGM value, the DiAs plots, nor the amount of insulin dispensed. The admission was 48 hrs with controlled meals and exercise. During the Control Admission, the DiAs (controlling the study pump) was programmed with the subject's personnel parameters. The study subject determined the amount of insulin treatment during the admission. Subjects interacted with DiAs as a conventional bolus wizard. The admission was 48 hrs with controlled meals and exercise. The Experimental and Control Admission were separated by approximately 4 weeks, 8 weeks or 12 weeks.
Control (Usual Care) Admission, Then Experimental (Decision Support) Admission
During the Control Admission, the DiAs (controlling the study pump) was programmed with the subject's personal parameters. The study subject determined the amount of insulin treatment during the admission. Subjects interacted with DiAs as a conventional bolus wizard. The admission was 48 hrs with controlled meals and exercise.

Decision Support System: The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and feasibility of a Decision Support System aimed at reducing glucose variability in T1DM patient using an insulin pump. The system will be deployed on our portable medical application platform (DiAs) and will include the following elements: 1. An insulin pump treatment parameters optimization routine, using a month of collected CGM/insulin/meal data 2. An exercise risk warning system, capable of predicting hypoglycemia at the onset of physical activity and advising on mitigating alteration of treatment.
Usual Care
n=33 participants at risk
Subjects will use their own insulin parameters, including basal rate, correction factor and carbohydrate-insulin ratio, and determine their own insulin usage during the Control Admission.
