Our objective is to evaluate the function of the bihormonal configuration of the ILet bionic pancreas delivering dasiglucagon when compared to the insulin-only configuration of the ILet bionic pancreas in a home-use study in adults with type 1 diabetes.
Our objective is to conduct a home-use study testing the Gen 3.2 iLet bionic pancreas system in the insulin-only configuration and the bihormonal configuration with dasiglucagion in 10 adult subjects (≥ 18 years old) with type 1 diabetes in a random-order crossover study under real-world conditions. The study will assess the safety and reliability of both iLet configurations. Our primary objective is to assess whether the iLet operates as designed comparing the insulin-only configuration of the Gen 3.2 iLet bionic pancreas system with the bihormonal configuration of the device using dasiglucagon at a concentration of 4 mg/ml. Our secondary objective is to assess the impact of both configurations of the Gen 3.2 iLet bionic pancreas system on glycemic control, quality of life, and treatment satisfaction among study participants, their caregivers, partners, and/or family members. The study follows a 2-treatment, 2-period crossover design, 2 and will consist of two 7-day study arms in random order: one bihormonal bionic pancreas arm using insulin lispro or insulin aspart and dasiglucagon, and one insulin-only bionic pancreas arm using insulin lispro or insulin aspart.

Exclusion Criteria:
Pregnant (positive urine HCG), breast feeding, plan to become pregnant in the next 12 months, or sexually active without use of contraception
Personal history of pheochromocytoma, MEN 2A, MEN 2B, neurofibromatosis, or von Hippel-Lindau disease
a.Fractionated metanephrines will be tested to rule out pheochromocytoma in patients with symptoms that could be related to a catecholamine secreting tumor, including those with: Episodic or treatment refractory (requiring 4 or more medications to achieve normotension) hypertension, Paroxyms of tachycardia, pallor or headache
Each sequence of the study will use the iLet Bionic Pancreas. The iLet is an autonomous infusion pump controlled by the bionic pancreas control algorithm that calculates and doses insulin and/or dasiglucagon based on glucose values received by the Dexcom G5 Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM). For this sequence, participants first used the bihormonal iLet bionic pancreas for 1 week. They then used the insulin-only iLet bionic pancreas for 1 week.
