To date, limited commercial systems and more widely used open-source, hybrid closed loop, Do-It-Yourself Artificial Pancreas Systems (DIY APS) have been used in nontrial real-world management of T1D. The aims of this article are twofold. First, itsynthesizes the emerging literature on DIY APS and identifies a range of evidence including research, reviews, commentaries, and opinion pieces written by DIY APS users, healthcare professionals (HCPs), and researchers. It summarizes the emerging clinical evidence for DIY APS and provide insight into how the DIY APS movement began, has been disseminated throughout diabetes online communities, and is reshaping self-management of T1D in real-world settings. Second, the article provides commentaries that explore implications of DIY APS to healthcare practice. DIY APS are radically changing T1D management. Automating the process of frequently analyzing glucose readings and appropriately titrating insulin delivery is liberating people with T1D (PWD) from some of the demands of intensive management. Within this super-specialized area of T1D management, the expertise of DIY APS users has outstripped that of many HCPs. While educational, ethical, and legal constraints need to be resolved, HCPs still need to stay abreast of this rapidly developing area. Further research is needed to inform policy and practice relating to DIY APS. Meanwhile, HCPs continue to learn from PWD\u2019s real-world experiences of building and using DIY APS to improve metabolic and psychological outcomes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1932296819894296","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,18]],"date-time":"2019-12-18T02:25:55Z","timestamp":1576635955000},"page":"868-877","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":57,"title":["Do-It-Yourself Artificial Pancreas Systems: A Review of the Emerging Evidence and Insights for Healthcare Professionals"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9407-4489","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Peter","family":"Jennings","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Nottingham Trent University, UK"},{"name":"University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6611-8245","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sufyan","family":"Hussain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Diabetes and Endocrinology, Guy\u2019s and St Thomas\u2019 Hospital NHS Trust, London, UK"},{"name":"Department of Diabetes, Faculty of Life Sciences and Medicine, Kings College London, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1932296819894296","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199309303291401"},{"key":"bibr2-1932296819894296","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/dia.2018.0384"},{"key":"bibr3-1932296819894296","unstructured":"NHS Digital.
