Kia ora type 1 whanau,
Our research team is inviting people with type 1 to join a 9-month clinical trial of a new patch pump system (“Patch-APS”). This system pairs a small patch pump (Medtrum Nano) with advanced software to automatically adjust insulin and help improve glucose levels.
During the study, you’ll receive dietitian support and may be offered additional medications such as Metformin, Vildagliptin, or Tirzepatide. We’ll look at glucose outcomes, as well as quality of life, daily burden, and overall treatment satisfaction. The study was approved by the Health and Disability Ethics Committees (reference: 2025 FULL 23337).
The study may be especially helpful for people who find carb counting and meal announcements tricky. We are currently looking for people from the Dunedin/Otago area, with more sites opening soon.
Interested? Check out the eligibility criteria and contact details below.
