Abstract:
This qualitative substudy sought to identify and understand the experiences of primary care patients with type 1 diabetes using the iLet Bionic Pancreas (Beta Bionics, Inc.) during the first clinical trial testing the automated insulin delivery (AID) system in the primary care setting. Participants in that clinical trial completed a brief semi-structured interview after the trial's completion, during which they were asked questions related to their perceptions of and experiences with using the iLet AID system. Analysis of 16 interviews revealed five major themes, which highlighted the positive and beneficial impact of the system on psychological and behavioral aspects of diabetes management.
