NCT ID NCT06947031

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether the Minimed 780G, an automated insulin pump system, helps people with type 1 diabetes keep their blood sugar in a safe range during surgery. Researchers analyzed data from 15 patients who used the system before, during, and after their operation. The goal was to see if the pump reduces dangerous low blood sugar episodes in the operating room.

Active substance

Minimed 780G advanced hybrid closed loop system (insulin pump with continuous glucose monitor)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that automated insulin delivery systems help keep blood sugar stable during surgery, reducing risks for people with type 1 diabetes.

What could go wrong

This is a very small study (15 people) that only looks at data already collected. It cannot prove the system works better than other methods, and results may not apply to all patients or surgeries.
