Intervention model: CROSSOVER
Intervention model description: During the No Treatment Period prior to the baseline MMTT performed on Day -2, subjects will be randomized 1:1:1:1:1:1 to one of six Treatment Sequences A/B/C, A/C/B, B/C/A, B/A/C, C/B/A or C/A/B:

* Treatment A is YG1699 10 mg
* Treatment B is YG1699 25 mg
* Treatment C is dapagliflozin 10 mg
Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: This is an inpatient treatment, double-blind, randomized, 3-way crossover study in T1DM subjects using insulin pump therapy.

Detailed description: Subjects will be randomized to one of 6 treatment sequences. The randomized study drug will be administered once daily for 7 days throughout each of 3 treatment periods. Each subject will attend an in-house baseline period, the NoTreatment period, and 3 in-house treatment periods, The Active Periods, where the same assessments will be performed. At each of the in-house periods, a MMTT will be carried out on the sixth day of dosing and an insulin withdrawal test will be carried out on the seventh day of dosing.

Postprandial glycemic excursion after a MMTT will be evaluated one day prior to an insulin withdrawal test. An insulin pumps with different modes (such as open loop/closed loop) the mode used at screening will be the mode used throughout the study. Unblinded continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) will be initiated at the start of the 7-day Baseline Period (Day -7) and discontinued at End of Treatment (Day 34).

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Subjects ≥ 18 to ≤ 60 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent.
2. Subjects diagnosed with T1DM for ≥ 12 months.
3. Subjects who are currently using an approved insulin pump, with a stable basal insulin dose. Stable is defined as \< 20% change of dose during the last 2 weeks prior to Screening.
4. HbA1c \< 9.5%.
5. C-peptide after carbohydrate ingestion of \< 0.3 nmol/L, with simultaneous plasma glucose \> 90 mg/dL. (If necessary, subjects may consume carbohydrates to raise blood glucose over 90 mg/dL as measured by YSI prior to drawing blood for C-peptide. This may be repeated as needed to ensure C-peptide is assessed when plasma glucose concentration is \> 90 mg/dL).
6. Fasting BOHB ≤ 0.6 mmol/L.
7. Body mass index (BMI) within the range ≥ 18.5 to ≤ 27.0 kg/m2.
8. Female subjects must be non-pregnant and non-lactating.
9. Females of childbearing potential must use highly effective contraceptive methods, stable at least 2 months prior to the screening. Male subjects must be surgically sterile, abstinent or if engaged in sexual relations of childbearing potential, the subject and his partner must be using acceptable methods of contraception.
10. Capable of giving signed informed consent and willing to follow study procedures and commitment to the study duration

Exclusion Criteria:
