Join Dr. Steve Edelman and Dr. Jeremy Pettus as they delve into their firsthand experiences with the Medtronic 780G system and discuss its pros and cons!
Having lived with diabetes for a combined 80 years, Drs. Edelman and Pettus have tried it all! In this video, your favorite endocrinologists discuss details of the 780G, like predictive glucose monitoring and customized insulin delivery, sharing their real-life scenarios using this hybrid closed-loop system.
HERE'S WHAT YOU WILL LEARN FROM THE VIDEO:
Automated Treat-to-Target Algorithm
Dr. Edelman explains how the Medtronic 780G system learns your insulin needs within the first few days after initiating the pump. This contributes to the algorithm’s calculation of your basal rate and sensitivity factor, taking the insulin adjustments out of your hands while maintaining excellent control.
Frequent Auto Boluses
Dr. Edelman shares how frequent auto-correction boluses every five minutes helped him maintain excellent blood sugar, even during a challenging Italian dinner.
Customizable Insulin Duration Settings
Dr. Pettus highlights the importance of setting the duration of insulin action to as low as two hours for more aggressive and effective control.
Exercise Management
Dr. Edelman demonstrates how the system reduces insulin during exercise, allowing him to stay in range and avoid hypoglycemia during a 35-mile bike ride.
Meal Detection Technology
Dr. Edelman and Dr. Pettus discussed a unique feature of the 780G: It detects rapid and consistent elevations in blood sugar levels without boluses entered. This is a great feature when you forget or delay your insulin before meals and snacks.
