Overview

The incidence of type 1 diabetes is increasing, with an incidence of +4% per year in France today.

The treatment for type 1 diabetes is insulin therapy. In recent years, new systems have emerged, so-called "semi-closed loop" systems, also called automated insulin therapy, which have proven their superiority in terms of quality of life and glycemic balance in adults and children over 6 years old.

Since January 24, 2024, the HAS now recognizes the indication of the semi-closed loop for the YPSOPUMP model in children aged 2 to 6 years. This is the first reimbursement in France of a closed loop system for the 2-6 year old age group. There are currently few studies comparing the quality of life of children in semi-closed loop versus other treatments (open loop or injections). Regarding quality of life, the studies found mainly concern the contribution for parents and the improvement of adolescents' sleep as in the study by Erin C Cobry et al from 2020 (6).

Our study therefore aims to demonstrate an improvement in quality of life but also in diabetes balance in type 1 diabetic patients on a closed loop insulin pump versus open loop or injections in the pediatric population aged 2-6 years.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
