MiniMed NMX8-AID System for Diabetes
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to test the safety of the MiniMed™ NMX8-AID System, a new insulin pump, when used with the Disposable Sensor 5 continuous glucose monitor for people with diabetes. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups to test different methods of using the pump with meals. Individuals with Type 1 diabetes (for at least 6 months) or Type 2 diabetes (insulin-dependent for over a year) who are willing to wear the devices and log meals and exercise may be suitable candidates. As an unphased trial, this study offers a unique opportunity to contribute to innovative diabetes management solutions.
Do I have to stop taking my current medications for the trial?
You may need to stop certain medications before joining the trial. If you are taking non-insulin diabetes medications, you must have stopped them at least 6 weeks before the trial, except for metformin, GLP-1, and SGLT-2, which you can continue if the dose is steady. Check with the trial team for specific guidance on your medications.
What prior data suggests that the MiniMed NMX8-AID System is safe for people with diabetes?
Research has shown that the MiniMed NMX8-AID System, a new insulin pump, is generally safe to use. Previous studies found it works well with a continuous glucose monitoring sensor, such as the Disposable Sensor 5. Data from these studies did not reveal any major safety concerns. Users of the system did not report any serious side effects, indicating it is well-tolerated for managing diabetes. However, as with any medical device, some minor issues might occur. Discussing any concerns with a healthcare provider is advisable.12345
Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about the MiniMed™ NMX8-AID System because it offers a flexible approach to insulin delivery for diabetes management. Unlike traditional insulin pumps that often require precise meal bolus administration, this system includes options for users to either skip bolusing, bolus with every meal, or bolus as they wish. This flexibility allows for more personalized diabetes management, which can significantly enhance a patient's quality of life. By adapting to individual needs and preferences, the NMX8-AID System could potentially improve adherence and overall glucose control, making it a promising advancement in diabetes care.
What evidence suggests that the MiniMed NMX8-AID System is effective for diabetes?
Studies have shown that the MiniMed™ NMX8-AID System can effectively manage blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. This trial will evaluate different approaches to meal bolus administration using the NMX8 pump. Research indicates that similar systems, like the MM780G, improve blood sugar control by automatically adjusting insulin delivery with advanced technology. This capability helps maintain stable blood sugar levels throughout the day. Initial findings suggest that users of these systems experience better blood sugar control, spending more time with their levels in the target range. The system has succeeded in real-world settings, demonstrating its potential to enhance diabetes management.12467
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for children and adults with Type 1 diabetes aged 7-85, and adults with Type 2 diabetes aged 18-85. Participants must be currently managing their diabetes. They cannot join if they have other medical conditions that could interfere with the study or if they're unable to follow the study procedures.Inclusion Criteria
