Adherence to Mediterranean Diet in Type 1 Diabetes Initiating Minimed 780G: Glucose Metrics vs Insulin Metrics, is There a Difference

November 15, 2025 updated by: VAIA LAMBADIARI, Attikon Hospital
In this observaltional study, 240 patients aged >12 years old with T1DM who are on multiple daily injections or insulin pump and are scheduled to start using MiniMed 780G system will be included.We aim to compare patients' adherence to Mediterranean diet (MD) before and 12 weeks after initiation of MiniMed 780G and its association with CGM and insulin metrics, as well as anthropometric measurements, BMI, body composition, lipid levels, blood pressure and gut microbioma. Moreover, at baseline, at six and 12 months, markers of endothelial and cardiovascular function will be also assessed and associated with the use of Minimed 780G and the adherence to MD.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This observational study will include 240 participants (80 participants per country) from IGI region (Italy, Greece and Israel), children adolescents and young adults (12> years old) with T1D that are on multiple daily injections or insulin pump and are scheduled to start using MiniMed 780G system. After a 7-day run-in period, participants will be evaluated with food intake log and adherence to Meditteranean Diet (MD) with PREDIMED questionnaire. One hour session on MD and healthy impact on Diabetes will be provided to all participants and will be assigned to initiate MiniMed 780G and followed for 12 weeks. HbA1c, CGM and Insulin Metrics, anthropometric measurements, body composition, blood pressure and lipid leves as well a gut microbioma will be performed at baseline and 12 weeks, after MiniMed 780G initiation. A 7-day food diary logbook will be collected to identify the amount and type of the food at baseline and at the end of the study. At baseline, at 6 and at 12 months, markers of endothelial and cardiovascular function will also be assessed. An extension phase will include additional 3 and 6, which concludes one year of follow-up.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Child
  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
patients aged >12 years old with T1DM who are on multiple daily injections or insulin pump and are scheduled to start using MiniMed 780G
Device: MInimed 780G
Minimed 780G HCL system (Metronic, Northridge, Ca, USA) is ConformitèEuropëenne(CE)-marked and includes additional functionality aiming to provide further protections from high glucose levels. When the system is used in Auto Mode automatically calculate the insulin dose based on information received from CGM. Signals are converted by the transmitter to sensor glucose values. Sensor values are then transmitted to the insulin pump. Sensor glucose and insulin delivery data are stored by the pump and may be uploaded. The HCL system can be programmed to automatically calculate insulin doses (both basal insulin and correction boluses) based on information received from CGM780G and the adherence to MD.
