Paradigm Real Time Insulin Pump

The MiniMed Paradigm® REAL-Time System is the world's first diabetes management tool to combine insulin pump technology with a continuous glucose monitoring system. Together, the devices closely mimic the insulin delivery of a real pancreas, an advantage over using a pump alone.

I have had the pump for about 9 years… and went through several different upgrades. I currently have this one, with the cgm. my sugars have never been better, and i would recommend it to anyone. Pros everything. better quality of life, better blood sugars… Cons expensive- but usually covered by insurance if you take insulin and could stand for better control.

My BG's are soooo much better with this machine Pros The greatest thing I have ever had. No more continues sticking myself. Just once and the insulin is delivered for three days. Cons It is expensive, so you need insurance to cover, but it is worth it.
