Abstract
Background and aimsThe new advanced hybrid closed loop insulin infusion systems have the potential to significantly improve glycaemic control. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Minimed 780G system in 59 patients with type 1 diabetes. Methods and resultsGlucose control obtained by using the system in automatic mode at 1–2 months of activation, at 2–4 months, at 4–6 months, and beyond 6 month was compared with those obtained with the system in manual mode. A significant improvement in time-in-range and in time-above-range throughout the follow-up was observed, as well as a significant reduction in time-below-range (<54 mg/dl) after 6 months, a significant reduction of the glucose variability and of HbA1c. After switching the mode, all target percentages lied on the average within the recommended ranges by literature consensus and no severe hypoglycemia nor ketoacidosis episodes were recorded. ConclusionThe Minimed 780G allowed a rapid and progressive improvement of the overall glucose control.
