Authors' conclusion

This RCT demonstrates that the MiniMed 670G HCL safely and significantly improved A1C and %TBR <70 mg/dL compared with CSII control in persons with T1D, irrespective of baseline A1C level.

Study context

Population
Adults (18–80 years), adolescents and children (2–17 years) with T1D using CSII; Group 1 baseline A1C >8.0%, Group 2 baseline A1C ≤8.0%
Participants
151 vs 151
Comparison
MiniMed 670G hybrid closed loop (HCL) vs CSII without CGM
  • HCLn = 151
  • CSIIn = 151reference
Primary endpoint
Change in A1C for Group 1 (baseline A1C >8.0%) and end-of-study difference in %TBR <70 mg/dL for Group 2 (baseline A1C ≤8.0%), superiority of HCL vs control; primary safety: rates of severe hypoglycemia and DKA
