Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for adults with type 1 diabetes to test a new system for automatically delivering insulin. Participants will be monitored to see how well this new system controls blood sugar levels compared to a standard system.

An artificial pancreas (AP) is a control system for automatic insulin delivery. The investigators have implemented a high blood sugar detection and dosing algorithm for use within an AP control system.

An artificial pancreas (AP) is a control system for automatic insulin delivery. The investigators have implemented a high blood sugar detection and dosing algorithm for use within an AP control system. If a high blood sugar pattern is detected, correction insulin will be calculated and delivered. The investigators will test how well the new algorithm manages glucose compared to the AP control system without high blood sugar detection and dosing. This type of algorithm may improve glucose control for high risk patient populations.

* Current use of an FDA-approved hybrid closed loop system for ≥3 months.
* Lives with another person age 18 or older who will sleep in the house at night and that can attend the training on using the system.
* Lives within 40 miles of OHSU
* Total daily insulin requirement is less than 139 units/day.
* Able to read, write and understand spoken English
* Current use of a smartphone so can be contacted by study staff off-campus.
* Willingness to follow all study procedures, including attending all clinic visits.
* Willingness to sign informed consent and HIPAA documents.
Exclusion Criteria:
* GMI or A1c \<6.5% or \>10.5%
* Sensor glucose shows \< 2% of time above 250 mg/dl in last 30 days.
* Individual of childbearing potential who is pregnant or intending to become pregnant or breast-feeding, or is not using adequate contraceptive methods. Acceptable contraception includes birth control pill / patch / vaginal ring, Depo-Provera, Norplant, an IUD, the double barrier method (the woman uses a diaphragm and spermicide and the man uses a condom), or abstinence.

Diagnosis of 2nd or 3rd degree heart block or any non-physiological arrhythmia judged by the investigator to be exclusionary.
* Renal insufficiency (GFR \< 60 ml/min, using the MDRD equation as reported by the OHSU laboratory).
* Liver failure, cirrhosis, or any other liver disease that compromises liver function as determined by the investigator.
* History of severe hypoglycemia during the past 6 months prior to screening visit or hypoglycemia unawareness as judged by the investigator. Participants will complete a hypoglycemia awareness questionnaire. Participants will be excluded for four or more R responses.
* History of diabetes ketoacidosis during the prior 6 months prior to screening visit, as diagnosed on hospital admission or as judged by the investigator.
* Adrenal insufficiency.
* Any active infection (example skin infection requiring antibiotics)

* Active foot ulceration.
* Peripheral arterial disease.
* Major surgical operation within 30 days prior to screening.
* Use of an investigational drug within 30 days prior to screening.
* Chronic usage of any immunosuppressive medication (such as cyclosporine, azathioprine, sirolimus, or tacrolimus).
* Bleeding disorder or platelet count below 50,000.
* Allergy to Fiasp insulin
