    The study analyzed insulin delivery patterns and glucose profiles in children aged 2-6 years using the MiniMed 780G system.

  • 3

    Total daily insulin dose increased significantly from 13.3 IU/day at baseline to 16.2 IU/day after 12 months of automated delivery.

  • 4

    Overnight, automated insulin delivery significantly increased time in range from 60.6% to 78.3% and time in tight range from 38.5% to 52.5%.
