When used with the MiniLink™ Transmitter and our glucose sensors, the MiniMed® Paradigm® 522 or 722 Insulin Pump displays on-screen REAL-Time glucose data 24/7 so you can get the information you need to manage your glucose levels while you are on the go without increasing lows.

• Displays updated glucose values every five minutes on the pump.
• Displays 3-hour and 24-hour glucose trend graphs, at the touch of a button.
• Trend arrows indicate how fast, and in what direction glucose is moving so you can minimize glucose extremes.
• Designed to alert you to potentially dangerous low blood sugar and high blood sugar episodes by sounding an alarm or vibrating.
• A confirmatory finger-stick using a blood glucose meter is required prior to making self management decisions.
