The Medtronic MiniMed 670G device received FDA approval in September 2016. This system reads your glucose levels every 5 minutes and automatically adjusts insulin delivery by giving or holding insulin. It includes a subcutaneous sensor, an insulin pump and an infusion patch connected to the pump through a  catheter to deliver the insulin. Although the device automatically adjusts insulin levels, users must manually request insulin doses to counter the amount of carbohydrates eaten at mealtime.

In my professional opinion this current innovation will be of great importance and need in todays society. These advances in control of diabetes will give diabetics more freedom and time back in their lives. Individuals who are able to receive and use this device will be able to live a life closer to normalcy. The need to closely monitor, self stick, and administer insulin is decreased giving individuals the ability to focus on everyday life without hassle. They must however, understand that this isn't a cure for type 1 Diabetes. The only catch I feel that there will be to this device being widely used is it's availability and cost for diabetics.
