hybrid closed loop  pivotal clinical trial in type 1 diabetes


it all happened so fast!   the past two weeks have been a whirlwind. 

on october 15, i learned via facebook that a friend had been accepted to  the above clinical trial out in colorado.   i clicked on the  link she'd posted to learn more, and i found out that there were several sites still recruiting (according to the clinical trials website).    i've never participated in a clinical trial before but without hesitation,  i wanted to know more.   i emailed a few sites that would  be easy to get to from  indiana: colorado and  georgia.  

we went camping that weekend with friends and  i mentioned the clinical trial.   i was excited about the possibility of a hybrid closed loop system and my friends and, most importantly, husband urged me to follow up with a few additional sites on monday.  

 within 2.5 hours of taking action monday morning, i'd had a few responses, most saying that recruitment had completed but one response from UVA in charlottesville, virginia -- they had an opening as a  participant had just recently failed his screening,

after several emails back and forth with the clinical research coordinator, i scheduled a phone call for that afternoon (monday the 19th).  during the phone call, the coordinator and i went through the exclusion criteria and scheduled a screening on monday, october 26th (this past monday). 

we were going to virginia!
