This study is intended to test a Web-based Information Tool (WIT) software providing additional information regarding time in range, GMI, hypo- and hyperglycemia risks, variability tracker, daily glycemic profiles, and potential changes of insulin pump parameters, to users of a commercially available Closed-Loop Control (CLC) System (Control-IQ Technology).
This is a randomized two-arm crossover group trial in which both groups will use the CLC (Control-IQ) plus WIT. The difference between the two groups will be the order of the interventions. Each group will undergo screening and collection of baseline data from their personal AID system (Control-IQ) followed by randomization 1:1 into two groups. Both groups will have the same three interventions but will progress in the study in a different order allowing for crossover comparisons. The three interventions are: * Use of personal CLC system for 2 weeks * Use of personal CLC system and adding a behavioral adaptation module (BAM) for 4 weeks * Use of personal CLC system and adding the ABC which includes: BAM and PAM (which includes ATM and WST described below) for 16 weeks. The BAM will consist of modules in which information only is given to participants (e.g. time in range, Glucose Management Indicator (GMI), hyper-and hypoglycemic risks, daily glycemic profiles, and variability tracker). The PAM includes auto suggestions for titration of insulin pump parameters every two weeks (ATM) and is aided by a web simulation tool (WST) which can replay 'what if' scenarios for the participant based on various combinations of insulin pump parameter changes.

CGM-measured Percent Time in Range 70-180 mg/dL
The primary outcome for this study is CGM-measured percent time in range 70-180 mg/dL over the last 4-week periods on CLC+ABC versus 2 weeks of the current CLC system.
Time frame: 2 weeks of CLC, 4 weeks of CLC+BAM, last 4 weeks of CLC+ABC
CGM-measured Percent Above 180 mg/dL During the Day
A key secondary outcome is CGM-measured percent above 180mg/dL during the day comparing last 4 weeks of CLC+ABC to 2 weeks of the CLC system alone.
Time frame: 2 weeks of CLC, 4 weeks of CLC+BAM, last 4 weeks of CLC+ABC
CGM-measured Percent Below 70 mg/dL During the Day
A key secondary outcome is CGM-measured percent below 70mg/dL during the day comparing last 4 weeks of CLC+ABC to 2 weeks of the CLC system alone.
Time frame: 2 weeks of CLC, 4 weeks of CLC+BAM, last 4 weeks of CLC+ABC
CGM-measured Mean Glucose
A key secondary outcome is CGM-measured mean glucose comparing the last 4 weeks of CLC+ABC to 2 weeks of the CLC system alone.
Time frame: 2 weeks of CLC, 4 weeks of CLC+BAM, last 4 weeks of CLC+ABC
CGM-measured Coefficient of Variation During the Day
A key secondary outcome is CGM-measured percent coefficient of variation during the day comparing last 4 weeks of CLC+ABC to 2 weeks of the CLC system alone.
Time frame: 2 weeks of CLC, 4 weeks of CLC+BAM, last 4 weeks of CLC+ABC
Time in Range (70-140 mg/dL)
A key secondary outcome is CGM-measured time in range from 70-140 mg/dL comparing the last 4 weeks of CLC+ABC to 2 weeks of the CLC system alone.

Time frame: 2 weeks of CLC, 4 weeks of CLC+BAM, last 4 weeks of CLC+ABC
TIR <60 mg/dL
Time below 60 mg/dL as measured by CGM.
Time frame: 2 weeks of CLC, 4 weeks of CLC+BAM, last 4 weeks of CLC+ABC
Low Blood Glucose Index (LBGI)
The low blood glucose index (LBGI) is based on a nonlinear transformation of blood glucose values that corrects for the asymmetry of the glucose scale. This transformation maps glucose values into a risk space (minimum risk = 0), where higher values correspond to higher risk. Values \<1 suggest low risk of hypoglycemia.
Time frame: 2 weeks of CLC, 4 weeks of CLC+BAM, last 4 weeks of CLC+ABC
High Blood Glucose Index (HBGI)
The high blood glucose index (HBGI) is based on a nonlinear transformation of blood glucose values that corrects for the asymmetry of the glucose scale. This transformation maps glucose values into a risk space (minimum risk = 0), where higher values correspond to higher risk. Values below 10 suggest low to moderate risk.
Time frame: 2 weeks of CLC, 4 weeks of CLC+BAM, last 4 weeks of CLC+ABC
TIR >250 mg/dL
Time above 250 mg/dL as measured by CGM.
Time frame: 2 weeks of CLC, 4 weeks of CLC+BAM, last 4 weeks of CLC+ABC
TIR >300 mg/dL
Time above 300 mg/dL as measured by CGM.
Time frame: 2 weeks of CLC, 4 weeks of CLC+BAM, last 4 weeks of CLC+ABC
HbA1c (%) at End of Study
The percentage of glycated hemoglobin. A higher percentage indicates a worse outcome.
Time frame: Labs taken at the completion of study, approximately 6 months after enrollment; hence, results are stratified only by arm and not by intervention.
Technology Expectations Survey
This questionnaire is rated on a 5-point Likert scale and is the baseline version of the Technology Acceptance Survey. Technology Expectations and Technology Experience Survey have identical items, except future tense is used in the Technology Expectations Survey (administered at randomization), while past tense is used in the Technology Experience Survey (administered at the end of each intervention). These surveys yield two subscale scores (burdens and benefits); the score of the items in the burden subscale are inverted before averaging the score of all the items to obtain the total technology acceptance reported here (range: 1-5, with 5 indicating higher acceptance).
Time frame: Participant baseline
Clarke's Hypoglycemia Awareness Scale
Number of individuals with hypoglycemia awareness, reduced hypoglycemia awareness, and in between, based on Clarke's Hypoglycemia Awareness Scale.
Time frame: 22 weeks
Technology Experience Survey
This questionnaire is rated on a 5-point Likert scale and is the endpoint version of the Technology Acceptance Survey. Technology Expectations and Technology Experience Survey have identical items, except future tense is used in the Technology Expectations Survey (administered at randomization), while past tense is used in the Technology Experience Survey (administered at the end of each intervention). These surveys yield two subscale scores (burdens and benefits); the score of the items in the burden subscale are inverted before averaging the score of all the items to obtain the total technology acceptance reported here (range: 1-5, with 5 indicating higher acceptance). The score is not reported for CLC only, as no technology was used during this intervention.
Time frame: At participant completion, approximately 6 months
High Blood Glucose Levels Survey
This questionnaire evaluates generalized avoidance of hyperglycemia across 4 subcategories using items rated on a 5-point Likert scale. Range is 1-5, with 5 indicating higher hyperglycemia avoidance and worry. The total score reported is obtained by averaging the scores of all the items in the survey.
Time frame: 22 weeks
Hypoglycemia Fear Survey
This questionnaire evaluates Fear of Hypoglycemia and each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale. Range is 1-5, with 5 indicating higher hypoglycemia fear and worry. The total score reported is obtained by averaging the scores of all the items in the survey.
Time frame: 22 weeks
Diabetes Distress Scale
A questionnaire evaluating different domains of diabetes-related distress. Each item is scored on a 6 point Likert scale. Range is 1-6- with scores of 2-2.9 indicating moderate distress and scores \> 3.0 indicating severe distress. The total score reported is obtained by averaging the scores of all the items in the survey.
Time frame: 22 weeks
