Acceptability of Hybrid Closed-loop Systems in Patients Living With Highly Unbalanced Type 1 Diabetes

If hybrid closed-loop systems (HCLS) ("artificial pancreas") for automated insulin administration have demonstrated their great interest in patients living with moderately unbalanced type 1 diabetes (T1D) (HbA1c \< 8 .6% on average), no study has looked at their safety, acceptability and efficacy in patients living with highly and chronically unbalanced T1D (HbA1c \> 11%). These patients, often young, present more or less advanced microangiopathic complications (retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy, etc.) or are highly exposed to the appearance of these complications, the prevention of which, whether primary or secondary, involves obtaining a good glycemic balance over time. These patients "escape" the possibilities of current insulin therapy, whether by multiple insulin injections or by insulin pump, more or less coupled to a continuous glucose monitoring system. Automated insulin delivery systems could be a solution to achieve less catastrophic glycemic control in some of these patients. The investigators are proposing a pilot study aimed at evaluating acceptability, safety and effectiveness of a HCLS currently available in France (the SMARTGUARD™ MINIMED™ 780G or the Control-IQ) in patients followed in the diabetology department of the Centre Hospitalier Sud-Francilien (CHSF), living with highly unbalanced T1D (HbA1c \> 11%) in the context of usual follow-up.
