Challenges in glycaemic control among women with type 1 diabetes and the role of MiniMed 780G system: A narrative review.

Sex-based disparities in the incidence, prevalence and disease manifestations have been observed across various medical conditions, including type 1 diabetes (T1D). Differences in glycaemic control and quality of life between men and women have been reported, with women experiencing lower rates of glycaemic targets and a higher risk for long-term complications, particularly cardiovascular disease. Additionally, women face a greater economic and mental health burden related to T1D. This narrative review explores the challenges that complicate glycaemic management in women living with T1D, including hormonal influences during puberty, pregnancy and the (peri-) menopausal period. We also summarize current available evidence on the safety and efficacy of the MiniMed™ 780G (MM780G) system in addressing these challenges for women living with T1D. Finally, recent real-world data are reported on the absence of significant sex-related differences in glycaemic outcomes of over 280 000 real-world users of the MM780G, across various age groups from childhood and adolescence to the (peri-) menopausal period.
