Smart insulin pump takes on diabetes and stomach paralysis
NCT ID NCT07287943
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether the Medtronic 780G automated insulin pump can improve blood sugar control in adults with type 1 diabetes who also have gastroparesis (stomach paralysis). Participants will use the device for three months, and researchers will measure how often blood sugar stays in a healthy range. The trial aims to see if this smart pump can handle the unpredictable digestion caused by gastroparesis.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Medtronic 780G automated insulin delivery system (a device that automatically adjusts insulin delivery)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could show that the Medtronic 780G system helps people with both type 1 diabetes and gastroparesis achieve better blood sugar control, potentially reducing complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 34 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The device may not work as well in people with gastroparesis due to unpredictable digestion.
