This system includes a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) that communicates directly with an insulin pump. The CGM trends the patient's blood glucose, by monitoring it every five minutes. The device will alert the insulin pump when a trend up or down is recognized and makes adjustments to the basal insulin. For example, if the blood glucose is dropping at more than 5 mg/dl per minute the CGM sends a message to the insulin pump and turns the basal rate off. This will prevent hypoglycemia. This system still requires patients to take insulin for meals. It also gives the patient's the option to stop the auto mode and control basal rates independently. ]]> 2017-10-10 01:30:13 UTC https://padlet.com/chelseynicole8574/68ojzxwhlk1x/wish/195420210 Pros chelseynicole8574 https://padlet.com/chelseynicole8574/68ojzxwhlk1x/wish/195423557 ·      More consistent blood glucose levels

       one for the insulin delivery
·      This product requires to you calibrate the sensor every 12
       hours. It does not allow you to enter a calibration when you are
       rising or falling.
·      This system is incredibly expensive costing more than $8,000
       initially and approximately $300 per month to maintain the
       supplies.
·      Potential risk of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia if the insulin
delivery is changed from an inaccurate reading of the CGM.

A patient with nocturnal hypoglycemia can go sleep at night, and not be as nervous as before knowing the closed loop system will stop insulin delivery if the blood glucose is falling. This will also assist patients who have a hard time managing hyperglycemia by administering more insulin at times when glucose trends rise. This system will assist nurses and diabetic educators by providing them with continuous reading of the patients blood glucose. ]]> 2017-10-10 02:06:55 UTC https://padlet.com/chelseynicole8574/68ojzxwhlk1x/wish/195424942 Sources chelseynicole8574 https://padlet.com/chelseynicole8574/68ojzxwhlk1x/wish/195425749 All information regarding the MiniMed 670G was found on the Medtronic website listed below
