Smart pump trial aims to ease diabetes management for kids
NCT ID NCT05908708
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 120 Israeli children and teens with type 1 diabetes who use the Medtronic 780G system, a closed-loop insulin pump that automatically adjusts insulin. Researchers will track blood sugar control, sleep, diet, and emotional well-being over two years. The goal is to see if this technology improves glucose levels and quality of life.
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 hybrid closed-loop system (insulin pump with continuous glucose monitor)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that the 780G system helps children with type 1 diabetes maintain better blood sugar levels and improve daily life.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may be less definitive. The device is already approved, so the main question is how well it works in real-world use.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
The study population will include individuals with type 1 diabetes ages 1-21 years who are managed by the pediatric diabetes teams from the AWeSoMe Study Group (five pediatric diabetes multidisciplinary clinics in Israel; Dana-Dwek Children's Hospital, Edmond and Lily Safra Children's Hospital, Maccabi National Juvenile Diabetes Center, Shamir Medical Center and Wolfson Medical Center) and who chose to purchase 780G out-of-pocket as part of their diabetes care, or are eligible according to the updated Israeli basket to receive it. The decision to use 780G will be made prior to and independent of their entrance to the study, and will be based on preferences of the patients and their parents.
