insulet artificial pancreas early feasibility study

Conditions: Type 1 Diabetes

Summary: the purpose is to perform an early investigation on the safety and performance of an automated glucose control (agc) algorithm using the omnipod® insulin management system and gather clinical data that will be used to make improvements or modifications to the algorithm for subsequent studies in adults, adolescents and children with type 1 diabetes.
