Supporting Medtronic 780G Insulin Pump Adoption in Latino Patients: A Spanish - Language Training Initiative
University of Colorado, Denver
Summary
This study plans to learn more about whether a support program delivered in Spanish or both English and Spanish for bilingual families helps Latino youth with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) successfully use the Medtronic MiniMed 780G system. The main question it aims to answer is: Does a linguistically and culturally tailored onboarding model for an automated insulin delivery system close the gap in technology adoption and improve health outcomes? Participants will: * Use the Medtronic MiniMed 780G Automated Insulin Delivery system for eight months * Attend one in-person nutrition support and insulin pump start class * Participate in regular virtual check-ins with native Spanish-speaking study team members
Description
This interventional, single-group study will assess the effectiveness of a structured, culturally tailored onboarding and support program designed to promote initiation and sustained use of the Medtronic MiniMed 780G system among Latino/Hispanic youth with type 1 diabetes. Participants will transition to the Medtronic MiniMed 780G system and receive ongoing education and support over an 8-month period. The primary outcome is the proportion of participants continuing use of the system at 6 months. Secondary outcomes include clinical measures derived from routine care (HbA1c, time in range, hypo…

- DeviceMedtronic MiniMed 780G Insulin Pump System
Participants will receive a Medtronic MiniMed 780G Automated Insulin Delivery system, an FDA-approved advanced hybrid closed-loop insulin delivery system that integrates with continuous glucose monitoring technology. A unique feature of the device is its availability with a Spanish-language menu and user interface, which may improve accessibility for Spanish-speaking users and families.
