MiniMed TM 780G Hybrid Closed-Loop Systems Improves Markers of Vascular and Endothelial Function in Patients with Type 1 Diabetes: Association with Continuous Glucose Monitoring Metrics

Diabetes Technol TherPublished Prospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

MiniMedTM 780G HCLS demonstrated superiority over MDI or SGLT-2i in terms of glycemic control and cardiovascular function in T1D.

Study context

Population
Patients with poorly controlled T1D under MDI treatment
Participants
90 consecutive patients
Exposure
HCL vs SGLT2i added to MDI vs intensified MDI
Outcome
Vascular function (PWV, cSBP, central diastolic blood pressure (cDBP)) and endothelial glycocalyx integrity (PBR of sublingual arterial microvessels)
Follow-up
6 and 12 months
Methodological detailsconsecutive patients, three treatment groups
  • Consecutive patients
  • Three treatment groups
