Aim: To evaluate the evolution of glycemic outcomes in patients living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) after 1 year of use of the MiniMed 780G advanced hybrid closed-loop (AHCL) system. Methods: We conducted an observational, retrospective, multicentric study in 20 centers in France. The primary objective was to evaluate the improvement in glycemic control after 1-year use of AHCL. The primary endpoint was the variation of time in range (TIR) between pre-AHCL and after 1-year use of AHCL. Secondary objectives were to analyze the glycemic outcomes after 3, 6, and 12 months of AHCL use, the safety, and the long-term observance of AHCL. Results: Two hundred twenty patients were included, and 200 were analyzed for the primary endpoint. 92.7% of patients continued to use AHCL. After 1 year of use of AHCL, TIR was 72.5% ± 10.6% (+9.1%; 95% confidence interval [CI] [7.6-10.5] compared to pre-AHCL initiation, P < 0.001), HbA1c 7.1% ± 0.7% (-0.5%; 95% CI [-0.6 to -0.4]; P < 0.001), time below range 2.0% [1.0; 3.0] (0.0% [-2.0; 0.0], P < 0.001), and time above range 24.8% ± 10.9% (-7.3%; 95% CI [-8.8 to -5.7]; P < 0.001). More patients achieved the glycemic treatment goals of HbA1c <7.0% (45.1% vs. 18.1%, P < 0.001) and TIR >70% (59.0% vs. 29.5% P < 0.001) when compared with pre-AHCL. Five patients experienced severe hypoglycemia events and two patients experienced ketoacidosis. Conclusion: After 1 year of use of AHCL, people living with T1D safely improved their glucose control and a higher proportion of them achieved optimal glycemic control.
