Real-Life Achievements of MiniMed 780G Advanced Closed-Loop System in Youth with Type 1 Diabetes: AWeSoMe Study Group Multicenter Prospective Trial

Diabetes Technol TherPublished Prospective observational cohort study

Authors' conclusion

The AHCL 780G system enhances glycemic control in children and adolescents with T1D, demonstrating improvements in HbA1c and CGM metrics, albeit most participants did not achieve optimal glycemic control.

Study context

Population
Children and adolescents with T1D in their initial 12 months of MiniMed 780G use; 43% girls, median age 15.1 years (IQR 12.9,17.0)
Participants
93 children
Exposure
MiniMed 780G Advanced Hybrid Closed-Loop (AHCL) use: 12 months vs baseline
  • 780Gn = 93
Outcome
Longitudinal changes in glycemic parameters and composite optimal glycemic control measures (CGC, GRI, COGI scores) and their predictors
Follow-up
12 months

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

Optimal glycemic control measures · 12 months

Composite glycemic control (CGC) improved 5.6-fold (P < 0.001)
24% attained
Glycemia risk index (GRI) improved 10-fold (P = 0.009)
10% achieved
COGI improved 7.6-fold (P < 0.001)
20% attained

Predictors of optimal glycemic control

Lower baseline HbA1c and greater adherence to AHCL use predicted optimal glycemic control
