Abstract

In this real-world analysis, we evaluated glycemia and insulin delivery in Italian children using the MiniMed 780G system during auto mode use, comparing days with a school routine to out-of-school (OOS) days. Data from 1341 users, self-reported under 16 years old and with type 1 diabetes (T1D), showed no meaningful difference in time in range (TIR) between school days (73.4%) and OOS days (72.4%), and international targets were met on average during both types of day. Minor sensor glucose variations were observed during school hours, such as a more pronounced glucose peak after breakfast and a clearer dip before lunch on school days. The insulin delivery algorithm effectively managed these fluctuations. Maintaining optimized glycemia during both school and OOS days may enhance learning and support cognitive and brain development.
