Medtronic is recalling more than 322,000 of its insulin pumps because of a missing or broken component that can lead to over- or under-delivery of insulin. The problem is linked to one death, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The recall is a "class I" recall, which ...
Because insulin pumps regulate the dose and frequency of insulin given to diabetics, interference with their settings could cause potentially serious health implications. "This could lead to hypoglycemia (if additional insulin is delivered) or hyperglycemia and diabetic ketoacidosis (if not enough insulin...
The devices are used to regulate blood glucose levels by delivering precise amounts of insulin based on readings from an integrated continuous glucose monitor (CGM). The pumps are mainly used by people with type I diabetes, but type 2 diabetics can also use them to regulate their glucose ...

Much like the 670g, none of these other looping systems offer tight enough control for diabetics who can achieve an A1C below 6.5 on their own. But Dexcom’s superior sensor tech is almost worth switching to in and of itself. And in fact, I was seriously considering it as the year bega...
Traditionally, since insulin cannot be taken orally, insulin has been injected with a syringe. More recently, use of infusion pump therapy has been increasing, especially for delivering insulin for diabetics. For example, external infusion pumps are worn on a belt, in a pocket, or the like,...
Insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitoring devices may also be configured to communicate with remote control devices, monitoring or display devices, BG meters, and other devices associated with such an infusion system. Individual devices within conventional infusion systems may be configured to supp...
Such readings can be especially useful in adjusting a treatment regimen which typically includes regular administration of insulin to the patient. In this regard, BG readings are particularly useful in conjunction with semi-automated medication infusion pumps of the external type, as generally described...
Insulin pumps and other portable medical devices may also be configured to communicate with remote controller devices, monitoring or display devices, BG meters, and other devices associated with such an infusion system. It may be desirable to use multiple wireless controller devices to remotely contro...
