About

This is a pilot outpatient study conducted at Stanford to obtain preliminary data on how Fiasp® works in a closed-loop system and to determine if any changes need to be made to the 670G pump to optimize the use of Fiasp®.

Full description

This will be a randomized cross-over blinded study and to see how the 670G pump responds to the introduction of Fiasp® insulin. Subjects enrolled in the study will have a 2 week period of optimization with weekly assessments of their Carelink download before entering the blinded phase of the study. They will use their usual home insulin during the optimization phase. They will then be started on their first blinded insulin (aspart or Fiasp®) which they will use for 2 weeks, before they cross-over to the other insulin.

Enrollment: 27 patients

Fiasp then Novolog

Experimental group

Description:

Following a 2-week run-in period for pump-setting adjustments and monitoring, participants 1 will use Fiasp insulin for 2 weeks, followed by Novolog insulin for 2 weeks. Both the subject and the investigator will be blinded to which group the subject is assigned.
