Medtronic MiniMed™ 780G Automatically  adjusts insulin delivery and corrects glucose levels every 5 minutes, 24/7 with no finger pricks 

The MiniMed™ -780G system is approved for people with type 1 diabetes age 7 and above, and a minimum daily dose of 8 units. To learn more about insulin pump therapy for children please click here. If you would like a CGM and not an insulin pump, consider looking into Guardian™Connect CGM.

Yes. With the MiniMed™ 780G system you can easily track your glucose levels and view notifications and alerts on your smartphone. Up to 5 care partners can be invited to download the CareLink™ Connect app and view your real-time glucose values on their phones. Available to download at no cost for most iOS and Android smartphones. To see if your smartphone is compatible, see this reference chart.

The MiniMed™ 780G system automatically adjust insulin delivery to your needs for an easier way to stabilise glucose levels. It features an advance level of automation for diabetes management, known as SmartGuard™ technology. If your glucose levels are trending high, it gives you more insulin. If they are trending low, it gives you less or no insulin at all. Now it can even correct high glucose levels in cases where carb counts aren’t exact.

The MiniMed™ 780G system, automatically adjusts delivery of basal insulin based on Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) values. This means that the pump gets glucose readings from the Guardian™ 4 Sensor and transmitter automatically, and then delivers of a variable rate of insulin 24 hours a day based on your personal needs. This integrated system – meaning having a pump and a CGM that speak to one another – can help to stabilise your glucose levels and reduce both high and low glucose levels.

When you use an insulin pump, you have a dramatic reduction in injections – by up to 90%.* The infusion set that attaches to your body contains a small, flexible plastic cannula that is inserted to be placed under the skin and changed every 2-3 days. A CGM glucose sensor is inserted every 7 days. Using the SmartGuard™ feature does not completely replace finger pricks but you will likely check your BG less frequently. Sensor readings are taken from your interstitial fluid (fluid surrounding the cells in your tissue) and not your blood, you still need to test using a BG meter. With Guardian™ 4 sensor and transmitter a blood glucose reading is needed when you first enter SmartGuard™ feature, otherwise no finger pricks are required. If glucose alerts and CGM readings do not match your symptoms, use a blood glucose meter to make diabetes treatment decisions. It is important to know that all blood glucose values entered & accepted are used for calibration. Refer to System User Guide - SmartGuard™ feature. Some user interaction required.
*Assumes four injections per day for 30 days and one infusion set change every two to three days.

*At the time of manufacture and when the reservoir and tubing are properly inserted, your pump is waterproof. It is protected against the effects of being underwater to a depth up to 12 feet (3.6 metres) for up to 24 hours. Although it’s designed to be waterproof, drops and bumps that occur over time can make it more vulnerable to damage from water. We recommend removing your pump before swimming or bathing. The sensor and transmitter are water-resistant at 8 feet (2.4 metres) for up to 30 minutes. CGM readings may not be transmitted from the CGM to the pump while in water.
