Medtronic trial says pumps & CGM better than injections

STAR 3 trial clinically validates the Medtronic integrated system

STAR 3 is a multicenter, randomized controlled trial that compared Medtronic’s sensor-augmented insulin pump (an integrated system using an insulin pump, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and therapy management software) to multiple daily injections (MDI). The data showed a statistically significant improvement in A1C across the age spectrum (adults, teens, and children) without increasing severe hypoglycemia.

    One wonders how this system compares with regular pump therapy. Seems to me that would be a better comparison…

      @jay451 You are most likely 100% correct, however I would imagine that there focus is to get people who are not currently pumping to consider pumping or better still use medtronic devices. 【ツ】
