Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Subject is age 7-75 years at time of Screening
- Subjects 14-75 years of age: A clinical diagnosis of type 1 diabetes for 2 years or more as determined via medical record or source documentation by an individual qualified to make a medical diagnosis
- Subjects 7-13 years of age: A clinical diagnosis of type 1 diabetes for 1 year or more as determined via medical record or source documentation by an individual qualified to make a medical diagnosis Study-specific inclusion criteria
- Subject is willing to perform ≥ 4 finger stick blood glucose measurements daily
- Subject is willing to perform required sensor calibrations
- Subject is willing to wear the system continuously throughout the study
- Subject must have a minimum daily insulin requirement (Total Daily Dose) of greater than or equal to 8 units
- Subject has a Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) less than 10% (as processed by Central Lab) at time of Screening visit Note: All HbA1c blood specimens will be sent to and tested by a NGSP certified Central Laboratory. HbA1c testing must follow National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program (NGSP) standards.
- Subject has TSH in the normal range OR if the TSH is out of normal reference range the Free T3 is below or within the lab's reference range and Free T4 is within the normal reference range.
- Pump therapy for greater than 6 months prior to screening (with or without CGM experience)
- Subject must have a companion or caregiver available at night for the duration of the study period who resides (or will live) in in the same building (or home). A companion or caregiver should also be available during exercise challenges in the same building, home or location (if not at home). This requirement may be verified by subject report at screening visit.
