The MiniMed 780G is Medtronic’s second-generation automated insulin delivery system (an upgrade from the 670G system). The device, available in Europe but still under FDA review in the US, includes automatic basal rate adjustments and correction boluses, an adjustable glucose target down to 100 mg/dl, fewer alarms, and simpler operation with the goal of further increasing Time in Range (TIR).
Real world data of the 780G in Europe shows improvements in TIR and glucose management indicator (GMI) (which can be thought of as an estimated A1C), said Prof Ohad Cohen, Medtronic’s director of Medical Affairs.
“Even with the growing number of users, more countries using it, more physicians using it, we see that these results are stable,” he said. “And when you look at six months of follow up [these results] are also sustainable, and actually there is almost no change in both the TIR and the GMI [from initiation to month six].”
The following three cohorts included 780G users across Europe who uploaded their data to CareLink between August 2020 and July 2021 and who gave permission for their data to be studied.
