The main objective of the study is to determine whether automated closed-loop using faster-acting insulin aspart will improve glucose control and reduce the burden of hypoglycaemia over a 23-hour period compared to insulin aspart under conditions mimicking under-estimation of meal carbohydrate content or missed meal bolus. Faster-acting insulin aspart (FIASP) is a novel formulation of insulin aspart in which two additional excipients (L-arginine and Niacinamide) have been added, resulting in accelerated initial absorption and more than double the glucose lowering effect in the first 30 minutes after subcutaneous administration using insulin pump. To date, no closed-loop study has been performed to evaluate the benefit of faster-acting aspart over insulin aspart during closed-loop system use.
This is an open-label, single-centre, two-period, randomised, cross over study. The study involves a screening visit to assess participant eligibility and two 24 hour in-patient stays at the clinical research facility during which day and night glucose levels will be controlled by the closed-loop system with either faster-acting insulin aspart or insulin aspart. Up to 22 adults with type 1 diabetes and treated with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion will be recruited, aiming for 16 completed participants. Recruitment will take place at Manchester Diabetes Centre, Manchester Royal Infirmary, Manchester, UK. Participants will attend the Manchester Clinical Research Facility (MCRF), Manchester, on two occasions. In random order, they will undergo two closed-loop study days using either faster-acting insulin aspart or insulin aspart. During the study days, the closed-loop control algorithm will automatically modulate d insulin infusion rate based on real-time subcutaneous glucose sensor measurements. Participants will receive standardised meals with half usual meal bolus for the evening meal and no meal bolus for lunch time meal during each study day.

Participants will be advised to change their usual insulin to the corresponding study visit insulin formulation, 24 hours prior to admission. (For example; if the participant is on insulin aspart, this will be changed to faster-acting aspart 24-hour prior to the admission for closed loop with faster-acting aspart and vice versa).
Participants will be advised to maintain their usual insulin 24 hours prior to admission.
