Real-World Performance of the MiniMed™ 780G System: First Report of Outcomes from 4120 Users

Background: The MiniMed (TM) 780G system includes an advanced hybrid closed loop (AHCL) algorithm that provides both automated basal and correction bolus insulin delivery. The preliminary performance of the system in real-world settings was evaluated. Methods: Data uploaded from August 2020 to March 2021 by individuals living in Belgium, Finland, Italy, the Netherlands, Qatar, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom were aggregated and retrospectively analyzed to determine the mean glucose management indicator (GMI), percentage of time spent within (TIR), below (TBR), and above (TAR) glycemic ranges, system use, and insulin consumption in users having >= 10 days of sensor glucose (SG) data after initiating AHCL. The impact of initiating AHCL was evaluated in a subgroup of users also having >= 10 days of SG data, before AHCL initiation. Results: Users (N = 4120) were observed for a mean of 5432 days. During this time, they spent a mean of 94.1% +/- 11.4% of the time in AHCL and achieved a mean GMI of 6.8% +/- 0.3%, TIR of 76.2% +/- 9.1%, TBR <70 of 2.5% +/- 2.1%, and TAR >180 of 21.3% +/- 9.4%, after initiating AHCL. There were 77.3% and 79.0% of users who achieved a TIR >70% and a GMI of <7.0%, respectively. Users for whom comparison with pre-AHCL was possible (N = 812) reduced their GMI by 0.4% +/- 0.4% (P = 0.005) and increased their TIR by 12.1% +/- 10.5% (P < 0.0001), post-AHCL initiation. More users achieved the glycemic treatment goals of GMI <7.0% (37.6% vs. 75.2%, P < 0.0001) and TIR >70% (34.6% vs. 74.9%, P < 0.0001) when compared with pre-AHCL initiation. Conclusion: Most MiniMed 780G system users achieved TIR >70% and GMI <7%, while minimizing hypoglycemia, in a real-world condition.

Automated summary

The preliminary performance evaluation of the MiniMed 780G system in real-world settings shows that most users are able to achieve good glycemic control and minimize hypoglycemia, indicating the effectiveness of the system.
