The MiniMed 780G automated insulin delivery system adapts to substantial changes in daily routine: Lessons from real world users during Ramadan

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Retrospective real-world observational study

Authors' conclusion

The MiniMed 780G automated insulin delivery system is effective, safe and fast in adapting to the substantial changes that occur in the lifestyle of people with type 1 diabetes during Ramadan.

Study context

Population
MiniMed 780G AID users from the Gulf region with ≥10 days of sensor glucose data during Ramadan 2022 and in the month before and after
Participants
449 participants
Exposure
Ramadan vs month before
Outcome
CGM endpoints aggregated per month, reported by time of day (daytime: 05.31-18.00 h, and night-time)
Follow-up
Ramadan 2022

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Glycaemic control during Ramadan
Mean sensor glucose (mean ± SD)
152.6 ± 18.7 mg/dl
GMI (mean ± SD)
7.0 ± 0.4%
TIR (mean ± SD)
70.7 ± 11.0%
Time below 70 mg/dl (mean ± SD)
2.3 ± 2.3%
Some metrics differed from the month before, but absolute differences were very small and considered clinically irrelevant
p < .0001 for all

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

TIR by time of day during Ramadan

Daytime TIR (highest)
80.0 ± 10.7%
Night-time TIR
60.4 ± 15.3%

Time above 180 mg/dl by time of day during Ramadan

Night-time TAR >180 mg/dl (highest)
37.3 ± 16.3%
Daytime TAR >180 mg/dl
17.7 ± 10.7%

Algorithm adaptation

The algorithm adapted immediately upon lifestyle change

Safety

Daytime hypoglycaemia during Ramadan

No increased risk of hypoglycaemia during daytime; daytime time below 70 mg/dl
2.3 ± 2.4%
