SMASH – A study on simplified carbohydrate estimation using a self-thinking insulin pump in children, adolescents, and young adults with Type 1 Diabetes
Zusammenfassung der Studie
This study investigates people suffering from Type 1 Diabetes. It examines an insulin pump system that partially determines the insulin dosage by itself (a so-called "hybrid Closed Loop System"). For these systems to estimate how much insulin is needed after a meal as accurately as possible, it has so far been required that their users estimate the carbohydrates in meals very precisely. This can be challenging in many situations, especially for children. In this study, we test whether a simplified estimation of the carbohydrate content of each meal (small, medium, large portion) can achieve a similar blood sugar control as an accurate estimation. After an initial visit, during which it is checked whether a person can participate in the study and written consent is obtained, the participating person is trained on the hybrid Closed Loop System. Then, chance decides whether a precise or simplified estimation of carbohydrates is performed before each meal in the following 3 months. The first visit also includes measuring height and weight, the current HbA1c, and a series of questionnaires about life with diabetes. For women of childbearing age who are sexually active, a pregnancy test is conducted. Then the second visit follows. During this, HbA1c, height, and weight are measured again. Additionally, the same questionnaires are filled out again. After that, the method of estimating carbohydrates from meals is changed for the next 3 months. After another 3 months, the third and final visit takes place. Here, HbA1c, height, and weight are measured again, and the questionnaires are filled out. Then, the hybrid Closed Loop System is returned, and the participants return to their usual therapy.

Untersuchte Intervention
A hybrid Closed Loop System is being studied, which consists of an insulin pump (Ypsonpump from Ypsomed), a glucose sensor (Dexcom G6 from Dexcom), a mobile app (CamAPS FX from CamDia LTD), and a smartphone.
It is examined whether this system, with the simplified estimation of the carbohydrate content of a meal (small, medium, large), achieves the same blood sugar control as when it receives precise estimations of the carbohydrate content of meals.
