The development of closed-loop systems for glycemia control in type I diabetes relies heavily on simulated patients. Improving the performances and adaptability of these close-loops raises the risk of over-fitting the simulator. This may have dire consequences, especially in unusual cases which were not faithfully - if at all - captured by the simulator.

Our objective was to evaluate the safety and efficiency of the Diabeloop DBL4K (Diabeloop, Grenoble, France) hybrid closed-loop system in prepubescent children.
Methods: We did a multicentre, open-label, randomised, controlled, non-inferiority, two-session crossover study in the paediatric endocrinology departments of three university hospitals in France and Belgium.
Objective: There is room for improvement in the performance of closed-loop regulation algorithms during the prandial period. This in silico study evaluated the efficiency and safety of ultrarapid lispro insulin using the Diabeloop DBLG1® algorithm.
Methods: We modeled the insulin profile of URLi according to literature data and integrated it to the model used within a simulation platform built from a 60 patients' virtual cohort.
A post hoc analysis of the Diabeloop WP7 multicentre, randomized controlled trial was performed to investigate the efficacy of the Diabeloop Generation-1 (DBLG1) closed-loop system in controlling the hypoglycaemia induced by physical activity (PA) in real-life conditions. Glycaemic outcomes were compared between days with and without PA in 56 patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) using DBLG1 for 12 weeks. After the patient announces a PA, DBLG1 reduces insulin delivery and, if necessary, calculates the amount of preventive carbohydrates (CHO).

Research Design And Methods: After a 1-week run-in period with their usual pump, 25 patients were provided the commercial DBLG1 system. The results are presented on time in range (TIR) and HbA over 6 months.
The daily challenge for people with type 1 diabetes is maintaining glycaemia in the "normal" range after meals, by injecting themselves the correct amount of insulin. Artificial pancreas systems were developed to adjust insulin delivery based on real-time monitoring of glycaemia and meal patient's report. Meal reporting is a heavy burden for patients as it requires carbohydrate estimation several times per day.

Methods: Thirty-eight adult patients with T1D were included in a three-armed randomized pilot trial (Diabeloop WP6.2 trial) comparing glucose control using a CL system with use of an OL device during two crossover 72-hour periods in one of the three following situations: large (gastronomic) dinners; sustained and repeated bouts of physical exercise (with uncontrolled food intake); or control (rest conditions).
Aims: Improvement in closed-loop insulin delivery systems could result from customization of settings to individual needs and remote monitoring. This pilot home study evaluated the efficacy and relevance of this approach.
Methods: A bicentric clinical trial was conducted for 3 weeks, using an MPC-based algorithm (Diabeloop Artificial Pancreas system) featuring five settings designed to modulate the reactivity of regulation.
