"The advent of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology has revolutionized outpatient diabetes care in the past decade,"…

The development of the MD-Logic algorithm was initiated at the Institute of Endocrinology and Diabetes at the Schneider Children’s Medical Centre of Israel headed by Prof. Moshe Phillip in 2007. The project spawned the creation of DreaMed Diabetes and an agreement with Medtronic, leading to the implementation of the algorithm into the MiniMed 780G system. The “MD-Logic Artificial Pancreas algorithm,” is an advanced hybrid closed loop system for controlling patient glucose levels. It can alter both basal insulin and provide…

Medtronic won the EU CE Mark for its MiniMed 780G closed loop insulin pump that features both Medtronic’s own SmartGuard algorithm and MD-Logic, an algorithm developed by DreaMed Diabetes, a small Israeli firm. The system, indicated to be used by patients with type 1 diabetes between ages 7 and 80, automatically delivers both basal insulin and correcting boluses every five minutes, if necessary. Such close monitoring and control of blood glucose levels may help patients stay within a healthy range…
