• Have a care partner with the following responsibilities: knowing subject whereabouts and being promptly available for contact by study staff during the day and night, residing in the same dwelling as subject during the night, being agreeable to all device training during the supervised HCL session and additional training on hyper- and hypoglycemia treatment, and assisting with emergency care if needed, such as transportation to the hospital or emergency department.

You may not qualify if…

• Known unstable cardiac disease or untreated cardiac disease, as revealed by history or physical examination.

• Liver and renal function testing drawn at screening visit or within three months prior to screening (for other purposes) will suffice for enrollment purposes
• Dermatological conditions that would preclude wearing a CGM sensor or infusion site.
• Any condition that could interfere with participating in the trial, based on investigator judgment.
• Participation in another pharmaceutical or device trial at the time of enrollment or during the study.
