Official title
Assessing the Effect of Advanced Hybrid Closed Loop System, MiniMed 780G With GS4 Glucose Sensor in Newly Diagnosed Children and Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes on Glycemic Control and Patient Reported Outcomes Compared to Standard Insulin Therapy Historical Data (AHCL in New Onset T1D Children Study): a Single Arm Open- Label Prospective Observational Study Protocol
Overview
The objective of this study is to evaluate glycemic control of users of the AHCL system MiniMed 780G with GS4 calibration-free sensor in children and adolescents with newly diagnosed T1D implemented directly upon T1D diagnosis in combination with continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) compared with those treated with MDI retrieved from historical data- in a single- arm open-label prospective observational study, assessed at 3 months. After the initial study period there will be a 3month extension phase of the study.

Exclusion criteria
- Type 2 diabetes mellitus or MODY diabetes
- Any untreated comorbidities of type 1 diabetes
- Medication affecting metabolic control or interfering in the interpretation of HbA1c
- Pregnancy
- Untreated diabetes retinopathy, or other causes that in the investigator's opinion, precludes the individual from participating in the trial.
- Known or suspected allergy to insulin.
- Regular use of acetaminophen.
- Lack of reliable telephone facility for contact.
