Using automated technology to improve outcomes for adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes.

New automated technology is revolutionizing management of type 1 diabetes through both confining blood glucose levels to a healthy range and reducing the overall burden of treatment. This study of 20 participants aged 13-25 years, used the Medtronic 780G advanced hybrid closed loop (AHCL) system that both measures glucose and doses an appropriate amount of insulin to maintain glucose levels in a healthy range. We showed improvements in glucose control over a period of 6 and 9 months, with glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) lowering by 33.3%. Maintaining tight control on glucose levels reduces the lifelong risks of diabetes complications, thus this new system has potential to alter the course of disease for those living with type 1 diabetes.
