Article Synopsis
  • Scientists studied how well the MiniMed 780G worked for people in Australia with type 1 diabetes compared to the MiniMed 670/770G over a couple of years.
  • They found that those using the MiniMed 780G had better control over their blood sugar levels, meaning they spent more time in the right range and less time with high blood sugar.
  • After switching from 670/770G to 780G, users improved their blood sugar control even more, and this improvement lasted for a year.

Carbohydrate counting (CC) and meal announcements, before eating, introduce a significant burden for individuals managing type 1 diabetes (T1D). An automated insulin delivery system with automatic bolusing that eliminates the need for CC and premeal bolusing (i.e.

The mean absolute relative difference (MARD) is a numerical metric that has been adopted by the diabetes technology community as the main indicator that describes the accuracy of a glucose sensor at a single point in time. The appropriateness of this adoption is questionable because there is limited evidence that MARD has meaningful clinical relevance in the current era of sensor technology. The calculation may be simple, but evaluation of MARD can be very complex because it is substantially impacted by the design of the data collection in an accuracy study.

Intensive therapy with exogenous insulin is the treatment of choice for individuals living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and some with type 2 diabetes, alongside regular glucose monitoring. The development of systems allowing (semi-)automated insulin delivery (AID), by connecting glucose sensors with insulin pumps and algorithms, has revolutionized insulin therapy. Indeed, AID systems have demonstrated a proven impact on overall glucose control, as indicated by effects on glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), risk of severe hypoglycemia, and quality of life measures.
