Easy-to-read Real-Time display gives you real-time trend graphs, trend arrows, and glucose readings.
Medtronics is the first company to develop real time insulin pump. The Medtronic Diabetes Minimed Paradigm series of insulin pumps allow for radio frequency (RF) communication. This enables the pump to receive data from a Lifescan (in the US) or Bayer (in other countries) blood glucose meter. The RF link also supports a continuous blood glucose sensor known as the Paradigm REAL-Time Continuous Glucose Monitor that wirelessly provides an interstitial glucose value every 5 minutes on the pump screen. The Medtronic REAL-Time System is the first to link a continuous monitor with an insulin pump system.
The Insulin Pump is indicated for adults and children of all ages who require insulin.
The Real-Time System is indicated for type 1 and type 2 diabetes patients who are 18 or older in age. A separate pediatric model is also available for patients ages 7 to 17.

Features
- Displays updated glucose values every few minutes.
- Displays 3-hour and 24-hour glucose trend graphs, as well as arrows that indicate how fast and in what direction glucose is moving.
- Designed to alert patients to potentially dangerous low glucose and high glucose episodes by sounding an alarm or vibrating.
- Requires a minimum of two calibrations each day: A confirmatory fingerstick using a standard blood glucose meter is required prior to making self-management or therapy decisions.
