The MiniMed™ 770G insulin pump system is a small insulin pump system which measures a patient’s glucose levels every five minutes. A thin flexible tube attaches to the pump and to a small needle or plastic cannula, which is inserted under the skin around every 72 hours with minimal discomfort.
The pump monitors insulin levels, automatically adjusting them as needed by either administering or withholding insulin based on these readings.
