The MiniMed™ 780G system is Medtronic's most advanced insulin delivery system, automatically adjusting and correcting† glucose levels every 5 minutes.§ It's the world's only system with a Meal Detection™ feature‡ that is designed to reduce post-meal hyperglycemia when users occasionally forget to give themselves insulin or underestimate the number of carbs in their snacks or meal. The system, which is available with the world's only 7-day infusion set, also features one of the lowest glucose target settings (as low as 100 mg/dL) of any automated insulin delivery system. With this "treat to target" approach, the system more closely mirrors the glucose levels of someone not living with diabetes. With both Simplera Sync™ sensor and the Guardian™ 4 sensor, no fingersticks are required.**
Approved for prescription use in Europe, and investigational use in the USA.

Real-world data on over 100,000 users on the system across many geographies and cultures shows that when using recommended settings the system is delivering an average Time in Range of nearly 80%, raising the bar on what 'good' looks like.
I wouldn’t be at all satisfied with those findings, and I assume that the company is going to go for even better glucose control in the future.
I have been able to maintain 90-95% TIR outside the holiday season with a CGM, injections, and a determinedly low-carb diet. With all of the recent carbs and candy, I am currently down to 51%, but starting back up again.
