Advanced Diabetes Technology Remains Underutilized in Underserved Populations: Early Hybrid Closed-Loop System Experience at an Academic Safety Net Hospital.

We retrospectively evaluated outcomes of the Minimed Medtronic 670G system in an academic urban safety-net population of adults with type 1 diabetes, between September 2016 and January 2020. Among 32 patients prescribed the 670G, the majority were female (69%), white (69%), achieved advanced degrees (56%), were commercially insured (94%), and were experienced pump users (84%). Patients who initiated auto-mode demonstrated significant improvement in A1c after 1 year.
