New MiniMed™ 780G system data demonstrates ability to address persistent blood sugar challenges for people with type 1 diabetes
Medtronic presented new data on the MiniMed™ 780G system at the American Diabetes Association's 84th Scientific Sessions, highlighting its effectiveness in managing type 1 diabetes. The data demonstrated significant improvements in reducing early morning hyperglycemia, known as dawn phenomenon, and enhancing overnight sleep quality. Users of the MiniMed™ 780G system experienced a decrease in dawn phenomenon rates from 12.2% to 4.5%, and a 45% reduction in nighttime alerts. Time in Range (TIR) increased from 87.7% to 91.4% during the critical hours of 12-6 a.m. The system's advanced algorithm provides autocorrections every 5 minutes, significantly reducing the burden of diabetes management. Additionally, promising results were presented for the next iteration of the system, paired with the Simplera Sync™ sensor, showing improvements in clinical outcomes. The new system will be launched in parts of Europe in late July.

The MiniMed™ 780G system advancements represent meaningful progress in diabetes management. The reduction of hyperglycemia, particularly in the early morning, addresses a troublesome issue known as dawn phenomenon. This can significantly improve the quality of life for people with type 1 diabetes. The ability to minimize blood sugar spikes not only helps maintain target glucose levels but can also prevent long-term complications affecting various organs, including the brain in children. The data showing improvements in Time in Range (TIR) from
The data about the MiniMed™ 780G system could positively influence Medtronic's market position. By addressing both hyperglycemia management and nighttime burdens, this system stands to differentiate itself in the competitive landscape of diabetes care technology. The additional promise of the next iteration, which will include the Simplera Sync™ sensor, could significantly enhance user experience and uptake. Market trends indicate a growing demand for more automated and user-friendly diabetes management solutions. The fact that this system is already available globally and will launch the new sensor in Europe soon positions Medtronic favorably for increased market share. The data from the 24-site single arm study showing improved metrics across all clinical outcomes reinforces this optimistic outlook.
The latest data presented by Medtronic could have a significant financial impact. With the new MiniMed™ 780G system showing tangible improvements in clinical outcomes, there is potential for increased adoption and, consequently, an uptick in revenue. The advancements in reducing the burden of diabetes management resonate well with the market, likely enhancing customer retention and attracting new users. Additionally, the forthcoming launch of the Simplera Sync™ sensor in Europe could drive further growth. Investors should consider this development as a positive signal for Medtronic’s financial health, potentially leading to stock price appreciation.
With its advanced algorithm that provides autocorrections every 5 minutes, the latest data demonstrated that the MiniMed™ 780G system decreased rates of early morning hyperglycemia, known as dawn phenomenon, and improved overnight sleep
Tackling hyperglycemia to improve long-term health with type 1 diabetes
Among the burdens of living with diabetes, hyperglycemia can often be overshadowed by hypoglycemia. Yet, in the
One cause of high blood sugars is the dawn phenomenon, an increase in glucose levels in the early morning.4 This can be a common occurrence for those living with diabetes and may add to feelings of frustration with diabetes. An encouraging new retrospective analysis of real-world data (n= 6026) showed that this morning peak was nearly eliminated for users who upgraded from the MiniMed™ 770G system to the MiniMed™ 780G system. The data assessed the elevation of sensor glucose levels >20 mg/dL from 3 - 6 a.m. compared to 12 – 3 a.m. at least
Early and consistent management of hyperglycemia is critical as it has protective effects on the body that can last for decades.5 "For those living with type 1 diabetes, dawn phenomenon can be a stressful occurrence that feels out of one's control," explained Robert Vigersky, MD, Chief Medical Officer, Medtronic Diabetes. "The introduction of the MiniMed™ 780G system has made it easier to maintain target glucose range with less effort to protect against hyperglycemia.6,7 It's been an absolute gift for my patients who have struggled with stubborn highs throughout their diabetes journey."
Reducing nighttime burden
For individuals living with type 1 diabetes, CGM-generated alerts and the need to deliver manual boluses disrupt sleeping through the night adding to the burden of diabetes. The MiniMed™ 780G system is designed to reduce the burden of diabetes throughout the day and night. Additional real-world data from a retrospective analysis presented at ADA (n=8019; <7 y/o, previously on the MiniMed™ 770G system who had greater than 14 nights on both systems) demonstrated that users had fewer overnight sleep interruptions and Time in Range improvements as a result of the automatic adjustments in insulin and correction† of glucose levels every 5 minutes, including during sleep.§ With the MiniMed™ 780G system, nighttime alerts decreased
The continued evolution of the MiniMed™ 780G system to reduce burden
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.
A 24-site, single arm study evaluated the use of the next iteration of the MiniMed™ 780G system algorithm paired with the Simplera Sync™ sensor. Results were promising across all clinical outcomes metrics including Time in Range (TIR), Time in Tight Range (TITR) and Time Above Range (TAR), compared to the run-in group where hybrid closed loop (auto basal only) or open-loop delivery was used. The study included the use of recommended optimal settings (ROS) (100 mg/dL set target with an active insulin time of 2 hours) related to TIR, TITR, and TAR.
"The MiniMed™ 780G system has firmly established itself as a proven automated insulin delivery system," said study investigator Gregory Forlenza, MD, professor and pediatric endocrinologist at the Barbara Davis Center. "With the next iteration of the system and this next-generation Simplera Sync™ sensor, the overall experience for people living with type 1 diabetes could be enhanced and may prove to be a compelling option for diabetes management — particularly when leveraged in combination with recommended optimal settings."
The MiniMed™ 780G system** is currently available for ages 7 and above in over 100 countries globally and will be launching with the Simplera Sync™ sensor in parts of
