Abstract

Background: Experience from first-generation closed-loop (CL) systems informs refinements to enhance glucose control and user acceptance. A next-generation prototype enhanced-hybrid CL (E-HCL) system incorporates iterative changes to the Medtronic MiniMed 670G CL system, including automated correction boluses, lower target glucose level, and user enhancements. The aim was to explore safety, system performance, and glucose control using E-HCL in adults with type 1 diabetes. Methods: Twelve adults underwent this first in-human feasibility study. After a 1-week run-in using open-loop (OL), E-HCL was activated at the start of a supervised 1-week hotel phase, followed by 3 weeks free living at ho..
