Medtronic's (MDT) CE Marked advanced hybrid closed loop system, MiniMed 780G, is aimed at enhancing management of type 1 diabetes.
Hybrid closed loop (HCL) systems further expand on the capabilities of PLGS systems by adjusting basal insulin delivery rates both up and down in response to values from a continuous glucose monitor. Through this modulation of basal insulin, the system is able to reduce the magnitude and duration both hyperglycemic and hypoglycemic events.
This decision automation was able to become a "closed loop" with the help of an open source decoding-carelink project created by Ben West to communicate with Medtronic insulin pumps, enabling data retrieval and issuance of insulin-dosing commands to pumps that support it. [3] With this update, the DIYPS system became "OpenAPS".
Insulin pumps, cartridges, and infusion sets may be far more expensive than syringes used for insulin injection with several insulin pumps costing more than $6,000; necessary supplies can cost over $300. [3] Another disadvantage of insulin pump use is a higher risk of developing diabetic ketoacidosis if the pump malfunctions. [3]
A closed-loop system monitors blood glucose by CGM and sends data to an insulin pump for calculated delivery of insulin without user intervention. [13] A number of insulin pumps currently offer an "auto mode" however this is not yet a fully closed loop system.
