Glycemic Outcomes During Real-World Hybrid Closed-Loop System Use by Individuals With Type 1 Diabetes in the United States

J Diabetes Sci TechnolPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

Real-world HCL system use in the U.S. demonstrated overall glycemic control that trended similarly with the system pivotal trial outcomes and previous real-world system use analyses.

Study context

Population
Individuals aged ≥7 years with T1D in the United States using the MiniMed 670G system with ≥10 days of CGM data after initiating Auto Mode; data uploaded to Carelink March 2017–November 2020overall cohort
Participants
123,355 individuals
Exposure
Post- vs pre-Auto Mode initiation of MiniMed 670G hybrid closed-loop (HCL) system
Outcome
Glycemic outcomes post-Auto Mode initiation:
  • Overall cohort
  • Mean 87.9% of time in Auto Mode
Follow-up
