ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION: The Medtronic MiniMed™ 780G (MM780G) system uses an algorithm that includes autocorrection bolus (AB) delivery. This study evaluates the impact of omitted meal boluses and the system settings, glucose target and active insulin time (AIT), on the AB. METHOD: Retrospective observational study on data uploaded by all MiniMed 780G users in our healthcare area, obtained through the remote monitoring platform Care Connect, from April to August 2023. Downloads with a sensor usage time <95% were excluded. RESULTS: 235 downloads belonging to 235 users were analysed. AB delivery was significantly higher at 2â¯h AIT (36.08⯱â¯13.17%) compared to the rest of settings (2.25-4â¯h) (26.43⯱â¯13.2%) (pâ¯<â¯0.001). AB differences based on the glucose target were not found. Patients with <3 meal boluses per day had higher AB delivery (46.91⯱â¯19.00% vs 27.53⯱â¯11.54%) (pâ¯<â¯0.001) and had more unfavourable glucometric parameters (GMI 7.12⯱â¯0.45%, TIR 67.46⯱â¯12.89% vs GMI 6.78⯱â¯0.3%, TIR 76.51⯱â¯8.37%) (pâ¯<â¯0.001). However, the 2-h AIT group presented similar TAR, TIR and GMI regardless of the number of meal boluses. CONCLUSION: The fewer user-initiated boluses, the greater the autocorrection received. The active insulin time of 2â¯h entails a more active autocorrection pattern that makes it possible to more effectively compensate for the omission of meal boluses without increasing hypoglycaemias.
