MiniMed™ 770G Insulin Pump System (Pump Only)
The Medtronic MiniMed™ 770G insulin pump integrates* with the Guardian Connect CGM to create a system that can automatically adjust your basal insulin every 5 minutes.** The SmartGuard™ Technology uses real-time glucose readings from the Guardian sensor to calculate and deliver insulin based on your specific needs. The MiniMed™ 770G insulin pump monitors sugar levels 24/7 and predicts highs and lows in advance.
MiniMed 770G System users may find it easier to stay in range† and reach their target A1C levels.‡
