Reducing Diabetes Burden in Medtronic's Automated Insulin Delivery Systems

Diabetes Technol TherPublished Comparative analysis of pivotal trial data and real-world data

Authors' conclusion

MiniMed™ 780G with G4S use was associated with significant reduction in diabetes management burden with fewer closed-loop exits, fingersticks and other interactions, and improvements in glycemic control when compared to the MiniMed™ 670G with GS3.

Study context

Population
Adults and children in 3-month pivotal trials (MM670G+GS3: 104 adults, 125 children; MM780G+G4S: 67 adults, 109 children); US real-world users transitioning from MM770G+GS3 to MM780G+G4Splus real-world data (RWD) N = 3851 · MM770G+GS3 to MM780G+G4S 3,851
Comparison
MM780G with G4S vs MM670G with GS3
Outcome
Diabetes burden metric (pentagon composite metric), change vs MM670G
