Abstract
Advanced hybrid closed-loop (AHCL) therapy with the Medtronic MiniMed™ 780G system improves glycemia; however, the clinical outcomes in younger children remain less established. This pilot study aimed to explore the continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) metrics in very young children on AHCL. Children between 2 and 7 years of age and on insulin pump therapy were recruited. A 2-week phase in manual mode was followed by a 6-week AHCL phase. CGM metrics were analyzed to review glycemic outcomes. Out of 11 participants enrolled [mean (standard deviation [SD]) age 5.3 (0.8) years], 10 completed the study. Time in closed loop was 96.7 (3.9)%. In AHCL, participants had a mean (SD) time in range of 72.6 (7.4)% and spent 3.0 (1.74)% and 0.63 (0.46)% in time <70 and <54 mg/dL, respectively. AHCL is a feasible option for management of young children with type 1 diabetes.
