Home > Tech Finder Tool: Hybrid closed loop systems – CYP | Northern Ireland
Thank you for using our tool. Hybrid closed loop technology can be an effective way to reduce the burden of managing type 1 diabetes for many people.
Hybrid closed loop systems, also known as the artificial pancreas, enable a continuous glucose monitor and an insulin pump to talk to each other, enabling your pump to automatically infuse insulin in response to your glucose levels. They can help to remove some of the burden of constantly having to adjust your insulin levels.
Find out more about how hybrid closed loop systems work.
Hybrid closed loop systems are not yet available through the NHS in Northern Ireland.
Hybrid closed loop systems can be purchased from manufacturers privately, depending on the level of support available to you through your healthcare provider. We would advise you to talk to your healthcare team to find out more about the options available to you.
