Data are mean (SD) or median (IQR), unless otherwise stated. No significant period effect was observed. AUCday=sensor glucose area under the curve per day.

*

Unless specified otherwise, data are normally distributed and presented as mean difference of closed-loop period minus control period, with 95% CI for mean; a positive value indicates that the measurement was higher during the closed-loop period than in the control period.

Non-normally distributed data are presented as ratio of closed-loop data over control data, with 95% CI for ratio; a value greater than unity indicates that the measurement was higher in the closed-loop period than in the control period.
