Treatment: Devices - Closed Loop
Treatment: Devices - Open Loop

Experimental: Closed Loop -

Active Comparator: Open Loop -


Treatment: Devices: Closed Loop
A total of 24 participants with T1 Diabetes with sensor augmented insulin pump therapy (SAPT) experience will be recruited from four tertiary hospitals and will enter an un-masked randomised-control crossover trial, with a run-in period followed by two phases (in-hospital and at-home) in each of two stages (Closed Loop and Open Loop in random order). Closed Loop will be the intervention for this study, and its performance will be assessed compared to Open Loop (control treatment).

Treatment: Devices: Open Loop
The performance of closed loop system will be compared to open loop system (Sensor Augmented Pump Therapy). Therefore, the Open Loop system will be the control treatment.
In stage 1 of study, participants are randomized to either closed loop (CL) or open loop (OL). In stage 2, all participants will be crossed to the opposite study arm.
Throughout the study, those who randomised to OL will receive exactly the same medical attention as the CL participants.
