New insulin pump system tested for safety in toddlers and preschoolers with diabetes

NCT ID NCT06604871

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether the MiniMed 780G insulin pump, when used with a continuous glucose monitor, is safe for children aged 2 to 6 years with type 1 diabetes. Fifty-six children used the system at home. The main goals were to measure how often their blood sugar stayed in a healthy range and to track any serious side effects like severe low blood sugar or diabetic ketoacidosis.

What this could mean

Active substance

MiniMed 780G insulin pump with DS5 continuous glucose monitor

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that an automated insulin pump system is safe for very young children with type 1 diabetes, potentially improving their blood sugar control and reducing daily management burden.

What could go wrong

This is a small, completed safety study with only 56 children and no control group. It does not prove the system works better than other treatments, and risks like severe low blood sugar or device issues remain possible.
