MiniMed Insulin Pump Reviews

On the market for over 25 years, the Paradigm MiniMed insulin pump is an innovative device that continuously administers insulin to diabetics. MiniMed systems are relatively easy to use; instructions are as follows:

Measure their blood glucose levels with the a REAL-Time Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGMS) and the OneTouch UltraLink Meter (Together, these components instantly measure blood sugar levels, immediately transmit them to the pump, compile data trends of these levels and sound an alarm when incorrect insulin doses are administered).
Use the Quick-set Infusion Set to place a thin tube (cannula) beneath the skin.
Fill the pump's reservoir with fast-acting insulin.
Fix the pump to the cannula and securely place the pump (which is the size of a compact cell phone) in a pocket or on the waistline.

Patients who have reported positive reviews of the Medtronic MiniMed insulin pump have stated that the pump:

Allows them to diverge from strict meal and exercise schedules (i.e. Patients can exercise without eating first)
Allows them to discretely take in insulin (as opposed to the more overt act of administering an insulin injection)
Administers more accurate amounts of insulin than syringes
Reduces the incidence and risk of developing serious diabetes complications, such as hyperglycemia or diabetic ketoacidosis
Overall, offers a superior method of managing diabetes

Negative MiniMed Insulin Pump Reviews

About 60,000 defective insulin pump systems produced by Medtronic have led to a number of negative MiniMed insulin pump reviews, due to the fact that patients:

Reported that the cannula was bending or becoming detached and, thereby, dangerously hindering the flow of sufficient insulin
Were, as a result, developing hyperglycemia, a life-threatening condition characterized by acutely low blood sugar levels

More than 200 hospitalizations have resulted from pump defects and their related injuries.
