Background and Aims: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) therapy is continually evolving and Advanced Hybrid Closed Loop (AHCL) insulin pump systems and intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (IS‐CGM) are emerging as the standard of care for many individuals with T1D. The objective of this analysis was to assess the cost‐effectiveness of the MiniMedTM 780G AHCL system versus IS‐CGM plus multiple daily injections of insulin (MDI) or continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) in adults with T1D in Sweden.

Methods: The analysis was performed using the IQVIA CORE Diabetes Model and clinical input data were sourced from observational studies. Simulated patients were assumed to have a baseline HbA1c of 7.8% (62 mmol/mol)[1] and use of the MiniMed™ 780G system was assumed to reduce HbA1c by 0.5%.[2] The analysis was performed from a societal perspective over a lifetime time horizon. Future costs and clinical outcomes were discounted at 3% per annum.

Results: The MiniMedTM 780G system was associated with a quality‐adjusted life‐year (QALY) gain of 1.946 but generated higher overall costs versus MDI/CSII+IS‐CGM, leading to an incremental cost‐effectiveness ratio of SEK 373,700 (€ 36,857.80) per QALY‐gained. MiniMedTM 780G system use resulted in a lower cumulative incidence of diabetes‐related complications. Higher acquisition costs were partially offset by reduced complications costs. Extensive sensitivity analysis on key drivers confirmed the robustness of results.

Conclusions: For the lifetime of adults with long‐standing T1D based in Sweden, use of the MiniMed™ 780G system is projected to be cost‐effective when compared with IS‐CGM plus MDI/CSII.
