This means more people with type 1 diabetes qualify for Hybrid Closed Loop compatible systems like the FreeStyle Libre 3 sensor, which is authorised to work with the mylife Loop^ system.

6. An HCL system consists of a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) sensor, a control algorithm and an insulin pump. 

7. NICE [2023] Hybrid closed loop systems for managing blood glucose levels in type 1 diabetes. [GID-TA10845]. www.nice.org.uk/guidance/indevelopment/gid-ta10845.

8. Only use hybrid closed loop systems with the support of a trained multidisciplinary team experienced in continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion and continuous glucose monitoring in type 1 diabetes. Only use hybrid closed loop systems if the person or their carer understands and is able to use them, and is also attending a type 1 diabetes structured education programme.
