The goal of this pilot trial is to compare three meal strategies using an ultra-rapid insulin (Lyumjev) and an automated insulin delivery system. The meal strategies to be investigated are carbohydrate counting, qualitative meal announcement (e.g., low-carb meal), and meal detection. The investigators are doing this research to evaluate if carbohydrate counting can be simplified in patients with type 1 diabetes.
Participants will test each meal strategy in random order, and each meal strategy will be 21 days long. For the duration of each meal strategy, participants will use an automated insulin delivery system or "artificial pancreas" with an ultra-rapid insulin called Lyumjev.

Active Comparator: AID-count |
Combination Product: Hybrid automated Lyumjev delivery system with carbohydrate counting
In this system, a Lyumjev insulin bolus is initiated at mealtime based on the total grams of carbohydrates counted. This is the same as commercial hybrid closed-loop insulin therapy (standard treatment). |
Experimental: AID-estimate |
Combination Product: Hybrid automated Lyumjev delivery system with meal size estimation
In this system, a Lyumjev insulin bolus is initiated at mealtime based on the qualitative amount of carbohydrates estimated (e.g., low-carb meal). |
Experimental: AID-detect |
Combination Product: Fully automated Lyumjev delivery system with meal detection
In this system, the patient does not initiate a Lyumjev insulin bolus at mealtime. An algorithm is used to detect a meal and administer a subsequent bolus, rather than requiring a carbohydrate count. |
