Better Control and More Flexibility

You already know an A1C test is an average of the ups and downs in your blood glucose levels over the previous three months. Since lowering your A1C can help you avoid diabetes complications,2,3 it’s often one of the most important factors when choosing new therapy.

It’s more than a pump, it’s the confidence of knowing you are taking care of your health.

Six-week evaluation program at no charge*

Looking for better diabetes control? Medtronic is offering patients the opportunity to evaluate a MiniMedTM 630G System for six weeks at no charge*


MiniMed™ insulin pump therapy is clinically proven to reduce A1C better than multiple daily shots for people with type 2 diabetes.1 Studies have shown that lowering your A1C can reduce the risk of long-term complications2,3 such as:

heart
kidneys
eye

Benefits of Insulin Pumps

An insulin pump uses predictable rapid-acting insulin, which means you don't need to follow a strict schedule for eating, activity, and insulin injections. Imagine eating when you're hungry, delaying a meal, even broadening your food choices.

  • Improved A1C levels.1
  • Fewer injections: only once every two to three days when changing your infusion set.
  • Reduced risk of long-term complications from diabetes.2,3
  • Helps with dawn phenomenon# (high blood sugar occurring in the early morning hours).
  • Reduce the amount of insulin1 and oral medications you take.4
  • Get accurate dosing: the pump delivers exactly as much insulin as you program it to. No need to second guess what dose is being drawn up in a syringe.
  • More flexibility in food choices, eating schedules, and activities.
  • Ability to temporarily take less hourly insulin to prevent low blood sugars in exercise or temporarily give more for times of stress when your glucose is likely to be higher.***

Assumes 4 shots per day for 30 days and one infusion set change every 2 to 3 days.

Take Insulin with the Press of a Few Buttons

An insulin pump is a small device that is worn on your body and delivers tiny drops of rapid-acting insulin to closely match your body’s needs. The pump can be discreetly hidden out of sight to anyone around you.

Insulin Pump

A small durable medical device that has:

  • LCD screen and buttons to program your insulin delivery settings.
  • Battery compartment to hold 1 AA alkaline battery.

Infusion Set

An infusion set includes a thin tube that goes from the reservoir to the infusion site on your body. The cannula is inserted with a small needle that is removed after it is in place.^ The infusion set is changed every two to three days.

Pump Features

  • The Bolus Wizard™ feature helps you calculate the proper insulin dose to match your meals, without having to do math.**
  • Missed Meal Bolus Reminder helps to remind you to give yourself insulin with meals.

No More Keeping Logbooks

CareLink™ Personal software serves as a virtual logbook so you can track your insulin intake and glucose levels. It creates reports which help you and your healthcare provider discover patterns and make therapy adjustments faster and more accurately than with meter software and logbooks alone.

Real Customer. Real Story.

“Using the MiniMedTM pump has dramatically changed my life. I no longer have to take multiple daily injections and the preset dosages meet my needs.”

Myth vs. Reality, the Truth About Wearing a Pump

If you’re still wondering if pump therapy is right for you, let’s set the record straight about some common myths.

  • MythInsulin pumps are uncomfortable and painful.
    Reality

    What you feel when injecting insulin with a needle is similar to when inserting an infusion set. However, with an insulin pump you only have to insert 12 times a month vs. 120 times a month with insulin shots!

  • MythYou have to know a lot about technology to learn to use an insulin pump.
    Reality

    Successfully managing your glucose with an insulin pump is often as easy as entering your blood sugar and meal information—then pressing enter. Your insulin pump even does the work of keeping track of your insulin, so you don’t need to write anything down.

  • MythHaving a pump attached to me will just be a constant reminder.
    Reality

    Pumps help keep your blood glucose under control so you can focus on life. The easy detachability combined with less insertions vs. injections makes it much more user friendly. According to one study, 94% of pumpers said they’re either very satisfied or completely satisfied with their insulin delivery device (vs. 56% of people on injections).5 They discussed how an insulin pump gave them a level of control and flexibility that injections just couldn’t match—and what they’re reminded of isn’t that they have diabetes, but that they’re doing what’s best for improving control.

  • MythAn insulin pump will interfere with my daily activities.
    Reality

    Insulin pumps can be easily worn on or under your clothes securely with a clip. The pump can also be easily detached for activities like swimming, showering, exercise and other activities you enjoy, so it won’t stop you from living your life.^^

    ^^ 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 of up to 12 feet (3.6 meters) for up to 24 hours. This is classified as IPX8 rating. See user guide for more details.

    Due to the ability to have multiple basal rates

    ** The Bolus Wizard™ calculator does not account for manual injections and could prompt you to deliver more insulin than needed. Too much insulin may cause hypoglycemia. Consult with your healthcare professional for how long you need to wait after a manual injection before you can rely on the active insulin calculation of your Bolus Wizard™ calculator.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION: MINIMED™ 630G SYSTEM WITH SMARTGUARD™ TECHNOLOGY

MINIMED™ 630G SYSTEM WITH SMARTGUARD™ TECHNOLOGY Indicated for the continuous delivery of insulin, at set and variable rates, for the management of diabetes mellitus. MiniMed™ 630G system is approved for ages 14 years or older with Guardian™ Sensor 3 and MiniMed™ 630G system is approved for ages 16 years or older with Enlite™ sensor. Both systems require a prescription. Insulin infusion pumps and associated components of insulin infusion systems are limited to sale by or on the order of a physician and should only be used under the direction of a healthcare professional familiar with the risks of insulin pump therapy. Pump therapy is not recommended for people who are unwilling or unable to perform a minimum of four blood glucose tests per day. Pump therapy is not recommended for people who are unwilling or unable to maintain contact with their healthcare professional. Pump therapy is not recommended for people whose vision or hearing does not allow recognition of pump signals and alarms. Insulin pumps use rapid-acting insulin. If your insulin delivery is interrupted for any reason, you must be prepared to replace the missed insulin immediately. Replace the infusion set every 48–72 hours, or more frequently per your healthcare professional’s instructions. Insertion of a glucose sensor may cause bleeding or irritation at the insertion site. Consult a physician immediately if you experience significant pain or if you suspect that the site is infected. The information provided by CGM systems is intended to supplement, not replace, blood glucose information obtained using a blood glucose meter. A confirmatory fingerstick using a CONTOUR®NEXT LINK 2.4 meter is required prior to making adjustments to diabetes therapy. Always check the pump display when using a CONTOUR®NEXT LINK 2.4 meter, to ensure the glucose result shown agrees with the glucose results shown on the meter. Do not calibrate your CGM device or calculate a bolus using a result taken from an Alternative Site (palm) or a result from a control solution test. If a control solution test is out of range, please note that the result may be transmitted to your pump when in the “Always” send mode. It is not recommended to calibrate your CGM device when sensor or blood glucose values are changing rapidly, e.g., following a meal or physical exercise. The MiniMed™ 630G system is not intended to be used directly for preventing or treating hypoglycemia but to suspend insulin delivery when the user is unable to respond to the Suspend on low alarm and take measures to prevent or treat hypoglycemia themselves. Therapy to prevent or treat hypoglycemia should be administered according to the recommendations of the user’s healthcare provider.

WARNING: The SmartGuard™ Suspend on low feature will cause the pump to temporarily suspend insulin delivery for two hours when the sensor glucose reaches a set threshold. Under some conditions of use the pump can suspend again, resulting in very limited insulin delivery. Prolonged suspension can increase the risk of serious hyperglycemia, ketosis, and ketoacidosis. Before using the SmartGuard feature, it is important to read the SmartGuard™ feature information in the User Guide and discuss proper use of the feature with your healthcare provider.
