Medtronics

Medtronics is a medical company that is responsible for some of the cutting edge technological advances for the treatment of diabetes. The insulin pumps, continuous glucose monitoring systems, and software by Medtronics are top of the line medical devices that can improve one’s quality of life.

Medtronics Paradigm Insulin Pump

The Medtronics Paradigm insulin pump is a small medical device that is portable and can administer insulin around the clock. The insulin pump is connected to the diabetic’s body through a small catheter that is attached to the abdomen and the insulin delivered can be programmed by the user depending on how much is needed based on meals, exercise, illness, and other considerations.

Medtronics Paradigm Insulin Pump and Glucose Monitoring System

The Medtronics Guardian Glucose Monitoring System is a system that has been approved by the FDA to continuously monitor glucose levels. The monitor helps diabetics see how exercise, meals, and even illness impact their blood sugar levels, which can in turn allow them to better manage their diabetes. Also, the Guardian system has an alarm to alert the diabetic to glucose levels that are either too high or too low. The way the monitoring system works is by a small sensor that detects glucose levels. The sensor is located under the skin. Diabetics using a glucose monitoring system are able to learn how their body reacts to many situations and how those same situations affect their blood glucose levels.

Medtronics Guardian Glucose Monitoring System

The Minimed requires some training for the diabetic to understand how to use the pump and learn what all of the functions do. It can take some time to properly learn how to use an insulin pump, but it is not so difficult and it has many benefits. Once patients know how to use the Minimed it’s a question of administering additional doses of insulin as needed after meals.

Medtronics CareLink Software

Medtronics also offers a Carelink Software system that is for users of insulin pumps and glucose monitors to manage their levels for even tighter control. The software helps users better understand the results from the insulin pump and/or glucose monitor. Also, the diabetic’s doctor can review the information and make changes to the individual’s therapy.

Medtronics Conclusion

Overall, Medtronics is working to improve the treatment and care of diabetics through their extensive line of technologically advanced medical devices. Diabetics interested in the Medtronics line of products should talk with their doctors to learn more.
