Adherence to Mediterranean Diet in Type 1 Diabetes Initiating Minimed 780G: Glucose Metrics vs Insulin Metrics, is There a Difference
In this observaltional study, 240 patients aged \>12 years old with T1DM who are on multiple daily injections or insulin pump and are scheduled to start using MiniMed 780G system will be included.We aim to compare patients' adherence to Mediterranean diet (MD) before and 12 weeks after initiation of MiniMed 780G and its association with CGM and insulin metrics, as well as anthropometric measurements, BMI, body composition, lipid levels, blood pressure and gut microbioma. Moreover, at baseline, at six and 12 months, markers of endothelial and cardiovascular function will be also assessed and associated with the use of Minimed 780G and the adherence to MD.
