barnaclínic+ adds closed-loop systems to its type 1 diabetes treatment offering
The Endocrinology and Nutrition Unit at barnaclínic+ is now offering the most advanced automated insulin delivery systems on the market, providing people with type 1 diabetes better glycemic control, greater autonomy, and improved quality of life.
Treatment for type 1 diabetes has significantly evolved in recent years thanks to new technological developments. Among these, closed-loop systems, also known as artificial pancreas systems, represent a paradigm shift: they automatically adjust insulin delivery based on real-time glucose levels, reducing hypoglycemia and consistently increasing time in range. Most importantly, these improvements are achieved while reducing the patient’s involvement in daily decision-making. At barnaclínic+, this next-generation technology is now available as part of our comprehensive, personalized approach to diabetes treatment.
“With closed-loop systems, we’re improving outcomes and quality of life for our patients while reducing the daily workload—something never before seen in the history of diabetes care.”

The incorporation of these devices has been made possible thanks to the teamwork of a specialized group led by Dr. Jesús Blanco and Advanced Practice Nurse in diabetes, Dr. Montse Granados. Both are recognized experts with extensive experience in the management and support of patients using technologies such as automated insulin delivery systems.
barnaclínic+ currently offers three of the most advanced and scientifically validated closed-loop systems:
-
MiniMed™ 780G® by Medtronic®.
-
Tandem t:slim X2® with Control-IQ® by AirLiquid/Novalab®
-
MyLife Ypsopump® by Ypsomed® with CamAPS FX.
Want to use a different artificial pancreas system?
We are also prepared to incorporate any new system that becomes commercially available in our region in the future.
“Our role is to support and empower people with diabetes from day one—teaching them how the system works, answering questions, and ensuring safe and effective use of the technology. The impact on daily life is tremendous,” says Dr. Montse Granados.

Closed-loop systems are recommended for anyone with type 1 diabetes, whether due to difficulties maintaining glycemic control, frequent and/or unrecognized hypoglycemia, or a desire for a more convenient and effective treatment approach.
The integration of this technology at barnaclínic+ is part of a patient-centered care model based on experience, innovation, and continuous support.
