Summary

Type 1 diabetes requires a lot of work to try to keep glucose levels in the target range. Hybrid closed- loop, also known as artificial pancreas, takes glucose readings from a sensor (continuous glucose monitor) and uses an algorithm to tell an insulin pump how much insulin to deliver. Hybrid closed-loop has currently been rolled out to many people with type 1 diabetes in England. We are keen to develop a deeper understanding of the perspective of people living with type 1 diabetes who have choices about which hybrid closed-loop systems fit their needs. The main purpose of this study is to explore the choices and experiences of people living with type 1 diabetes regarding closed-loop therapy.

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is gathering information about people's experiences and choices related to closed-loop insulin therapy (also called an artificial pancreas system) for type 1 diabetes — a technology that automatically adjusts insulin delivery based on continuous glucose readings. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 years or older - You have type 1 diabetes (any duration) - You currently use closed-loop therapy, are on a waiting list to start it, or are considering it for the future - You are able to provide informed consent **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have any type of diabetes other than type 1 (e.g., type 2, gestational, MODY) Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
