Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Participants in Phase 1 of the study (ACTRN12621000912886) will be offered the option of participating in Phase 2 of the study.

Phase 2: Insulin in Tandem pump and Saline in EOPatch pump
- the EOPatch pump and Tandem pump (delivering via the PDT device) will be used during two in-clinic visits (up to 9 hours each including insertion of devices, baseline measurements and meal challenge) for meal challenges (80g high carbohydrate meal) conducted by a doctor and nurse experienced in managing hypo/hyperglycaemia during daylight hours in a major university hospital with a full resuscitation team available if necessary
- the Tandem pump will be inserted at the start of the study (Day 0) and paired with a Dexcom G6 continuous glucose monitor (CGM) in open loop. The participant's own insulin pump will be disconnected. The Tandem pump will remain in situ until the end of the study. Education for the use of the Tandem pump, Dexcom G6 CGM and Contour Next One meter will also be delivered during this session.
- the PDT device is inserted by study staff at the start of the in-clinic visit for the first meal challenge (Day 14) and the Tandem pump will be connected to it
- the EOPatch pump will be inserted by study staff at the start of the in-clinic visit for the meal challenge (Day 14 and 18) and removed at the end of each meal challenge
- the order of the meal challenges, in which participants receive closed loop insulin delivery from either EOPatch pump or Tandem Control-IQ system (delivering via PDT device) and saline through the other device, will be randomized, and participants will have monitoring of glycaemia over 6 hours after the carbohydrate load
- a 100% insulin bolus based on the participant's insulin to carbohydrate ratio (ICR) will be delivered through one pump and replication of the same volume of saline will be delivered through the other pump
- the EOPatch pump will be removed after the meal challenge and all participants will go home with the Tandem Control-IQ system (delivering insulin via PDT device) in open loop until their next in-clinic visit for the second meal challenge (4 days later)
- the 2 meal tests will be 4 days apart

Statistical methods / analysis
This feasibility study is exploratory for data generation to determine sample size for larger studies. The sample size for this study is based on experience with prototype closed loop studies.
For Phase 2 data analysis: Glucose sensor accuracy (absolute relative difference) during insulin delivery will be calculated by using two types of calibration schemes: a one-point calibration with fixed offset, performed before meal administration; and a retrospective all point calibration as proposed for early device evaluation, as proposed by Heinemann and Lodwig. In addition to mean and median absolute relative difference, other accuracy metrics will include signed difference (bias). Error grid analyses will include Clarke, Parkes and continuous analyses. Bland-Altman analysis will be used to stratify accuracy as a function of glucose level.

Summary
Brief summary
Phase 2 of the study will assess glucose sensing accuracy of the investigational Pacific Diabetes Technology (PDT) combined continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and insulin delivery device, and compare post meal glycaemia with the EOPatch pump automated insulin delivery (AID) system with a commercially available closed loop system (Tandem Control-IQ system).

We hypothesize that the PDT sensor is able to measure interstitial glucose accurately without being affected by the preservatives in insulin.
We hypothesize that the EOPatch pump is as effective at reducing post-prandial blood glucose excursions in persons with Type 1 diabetes compared with a commercially available closed loop system (Tandem Control-IQ system).
