Cambridge, UK, 8 January 2026 – Following approval from its notified body, CamDiab Ltd announces its latest innovation that will allow users to manage their type 1 diabetes without needing to count carbohydrates or give pre-meal insulin.
This latest innovation will be the world’s first, commercially available, automated insulin delivery algorithm to enable people living with type 1 diabetes to utilise a fully closed-loop system.
A fully closed-loop algorithm removes the need for users to count carbohydrates and deliver pre-meal insulin. It looks to reduce day-to-day decision burden and give users a welcome break from some of the mental load related to managing their diabetes.1
A pilot using this fully closed-loop algorithm is planned for early 2026, with wider roll-out to follow.
“We are delighted to receive approval, which represents a significant step forward, introducing fully closed-loop insulin delivery into routine type 1 diabetes care. By removing the need for carb counting and pre-meal bolusing, we can meaningfully reduce diabetes distress and the relentless cognitive load associated with living with type 1 diabetes. This innovation mirrors our commitment to developing technology that not only improves clinical outcomes but also enhances everyday life,” said Professor Roman Hovorka, Director at CamDiab.
“I did not have to do anything. Which was fantastic. And it just made my life so much easier… I just felt I was on a holiday when I was on that,” said a study participant (2024).
