Call to action for
young adults!
Young adult volunteers wanted for a study
of closed loop systems in young adults.
Study coordinator Sam James, who has Type 1 diabetes,
is looking for people 18-25 years old, live in the UK,
have been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and have
self-managed the condition for more than a year. You
also need to have moved out of your childhood home in
the last five years, such as going to university, starting
a new job, moving in with someone else.

Participating in the study will involve filling out consent
forms (roughly 10 minutes) and then a one-to-one
online interview (lasting up to an hour). Volunteers will
receive a Love2shop gift card of £20 for taking part.
"We are very excited to
work together with CamDiab
Ltd, a trailblazer in developing
interoperable loop systems. Together,
we can make a step further in
achieving our common goal, making
life of people living with diabetes
as easy as possible. We are looking
forward to rolling out this solution in
Europe over the coming months, first
on Android and then also on iOS",
says Simon Michel, CEO of Ypsomed.
Personal service
The mylife CamAPS FX Android
mobile application is personalised
and constantly learns and quickly
adapts to ever changing insulin
needs. It adjusts to diurnal and
day-to-day variations in insulin
requirements and compensates
for over- and under-dosing of
the mealtime bolus. If a user
consistently over- or underestimates
carbohydrates, the algorithm adjusts
insulin delivery accordingly to
prevent low and high glucose levels.
This enables a safe and efficient use
in all life circumstances including
pregnancy. With this automated
insulin delivery system, the user
has less work and interactions with
the insulin pump, resulting in more
freedom in everyday life, increased
adherence and better quality of life.
"Many years of research went
into our hybrid closed-loop solution
- and we are thrilled to bring in our
expertise on to this project with
Ypsomed, a leader in innovation in
delivery systems for liquid drugs.
We share a common goal, and that
is to help people with diabetes and
their families to live better lives -
we are excited that technology and
innovation can contribute to a better
and healthier future", says Roman
Hovorka, Director CamDiab Ltd.
