---|---|
Experimental: Automated Insulin Delivery in the Basal Insulin Titration Phase
Participants will use Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) for 10 days in the Basal Insulin Titration (BIT) Phase. This group will then return to their original home therapy (basal insulin using pen) using the new setting in the Maintenance Phase (MP) with a blinded CGM. The total daily insulin (TDI) requirement during the BIT Phase will be translated to a basal insulin dose.
|
Device: Control-IQ use in Type 2 Diabetes under basal insulin injections
Testing the safety and feasibility of using Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) in people with Type 2 Diabetes under basal insulin injections to achieve safe and fast basal insulin titration.
Other Name: Tandem Diabetes Care |
No Intervention: Standard Care with Study Continuous Glucose Monitor
Participants will use a study Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) along with their original home therapy and will be contacted by a study physician as per standard care to adjust their insulin doses if needed. This group will then transition into a 10-day Maintenance Phase (MP) using a blinded CGM, where the basal dose will be maintained.

Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age ≥18.0 years old at time of consent.
- Clinical diagnosis, based on investigator assessment, of type 2 diabetes for at least one year.
- HbA1c ≥ 7.5%.
- Currently using an approved long-acting insulin for at least six months (e.g., insulin glargine, insulin degludec)
- Willingness to discontinue a personal CGM during the duration of the study.
- Access to the internet and willingness to upload data during the study as needed.
- If female and sexually active, must agree to use a form of contraception to prevent pregnancy while a participant in the study. A negative serum or urine pregnancy test will be required for all females of childbearing potential. Participants who become pregnant will be discontinued from the study. Also, participants who during the study develop and express the intention to become pregnant within the timespan of the study will be discontinued.
- Willingness not to start any new non-insulin glucose-lowering agent during the trial (including metformin/biguanides, Glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 receptor agonists, pramlintide, Dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-4 inhibitors, sulfonylureas and nutraceuticals).
Exclusion Criteria:
- Treatment with meglitinides/sulfonylureas.
- Currently using an approved intermediate (e.g., insulin Neutral Protamine Hagedorn (NPH)) or rapid insulin for at least six months (e.g., insulin aspart, insulin lispro, insulin regular).
- Currently being treated for a seizure disorder.
- A known medical condition that in the judgment of the investigator might interfere with the completion of the protocol, such as but not limited to, the following examples: a) Inpatient psychiatric treatment in the past 6 months, b) Presence of a known adrenal disorder, c) Uncontrolled thyroid disease.
- Currently pregnant or intent to become pregnant during the trial.
- Currently breastfeeding.
