Efficacy and Feasibility of Fully Automated Closed Loop Insulin Pump Therapy after Islet Auto-Transplantation
… years) at transition from IV to subcutaneous insulin (POD=6±1.4 days). Subjects were block randomized to CL pump (n=7) or multiple daily injections (n=7) for 72 hours. Results: Mean glucose was significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group (111±4 v. 130±13mg/dL; …

Carbohydrate Supplementation During Prolonged Aerobic Exercise for People Living with Type 1 Diabetes on Insulin Pump Therapy: The ExCarbs Study
… diabetes. This thesis assessed carbohydrate and insulin strategies during 120-min fasted exercise (~45% VO2peak) in fifteen individuals with type 1 diabetes. The strategies performed in randomized crossover design included: 1) carbohydrates of 0.3 g/kg/hr; 2) 50% basal rate reduction 90-min …

The effects of aerobic and resistance exercise on inflammatory markers and metabolic control in healthy individuals and type 1 diabetics using either insulin pump or multiple dose injection
… 1 diabetes (T1D) is characterised by an absolute insulin deficiency resulting from the chronic and progressive destruction of pancreatic β-cells by the immune system cells. Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) is becoming a popular technique for insulin delivery among T1D patients. …

Closed-loop insulin delivery in adults with type 1 diabetes
… 1 diabetes with currently available methods of insulin delivery is challenging. Aggressive regimens carry an increased risk of hypoglycaemia, particularly overnight. Both alcohol consumption and exercise predispose further to low glucose levels. The demands are even greater in pregnancy where, …
