June 24, 2024- Medtronic plc will present a comprehensive body of new data at the American Diabetes Association’s (ADA) 84th Scientific Sessions that showcases the benefits of the MiniMed™ 780G system. New data shows how the system addresses hyperglycemia and nighttime burden, adding to the established body of evidence that demonstrates the system’s ability to tackle unique and burdensome challenges of diabetes, such as managing highs and meal-time management or carb counting, while also mirroring outcomes across a wide-ranging patient population.
Along with evidence on the currently available MiniMed™ 780G system, additional data will be presented on the next iteration of the system,* which aims to further reduce diabetes management burden through its design. The system is intended to be paired with the Simplera Sync™ sensor, a disposable, all-in-one continuous glucose monitor (CGM) designed to require no overtape.
Among the burdens of living with diabetes, hyperglycemia can often be overshadowed by hypoglycemia. Yet, in the U.S., only 26% of people living with diabetes achieve HbA1c levels of <7.0%. Reducing the time spent with high blood sugars continues to be a significant unmet need as it can lead to serious health problems impacting multiple organs. For children, prolonged highs can have adverse effects on memory, IQ, executive functioning, and learning.
