Closed loop systems comprising continuous glucose monitor, control algorithm and insulin pump are changing lives of people with type 1 diabetes. The lecture will outline the evolution of closed loop technologies and highlight benefits documented across all age groups including very young children, children, teenagers, adults, and older adults. Burden of diabetes is reduced, glucose control improved, and quality of life increased. These achievements result from transformative translational research including that carried out at the University of Cambridge. Wider clinical practice adoption is underway underpinned by the NICE guidance and equitable access is the goal.
