Closed-loop strategy is composed of three components: glucose sensor to read glucose levels, insulin pump to infuse insulin and a dosing mathematical algorithm to decide on the required insulin dosages based on the sensor's readings. A dual-hormone closed loop strategy regulates glucose levels through the infusion of two hormones: insulin and glucagon. The objective of this study is to compare, in a randomized multicenter trial, the effectiveness of single-hormone closed-loop, dual-hormone closed-loop, and sensor-augmented pump therapy with low-glucose suspend in regulating day-and-night glucose levels in outpatient settings for 15 weeks in adolescents and adults. The investigators hypothesize that dual-hormone closed-loop will reduce time spent in hypoglycemia compared to single-hormone closed-loop, which in turn will be more effective than sensor-augmented pump therapy with low-glucose suspend.

A sensor will be inserted on the day before the start of the intervention by the participant. The participant will also have to install the study insulin pump. Participants will be advised to continue with study intervention at home for the next 15 weeks. Participants will have been previously shown how to use the study insulin pump.
A sensor will be inserted on the day before the start of the intervention by the participant. On the first day of the intervention, participants will be admitted to the clinical research facility anytime between 8:00 am and 11:30 am. Training on connection and disconnection of the system, meal boluses, etc. will be given. Only participants demonstrating competency on use of study devices will be allowed to continue to the home study phase. Participants will be advised to continue with study intervention at home for the next 15 weeks.
