This monitor comes with the desired feature of an insulin pump display without a separate monitor. Alarms are set for low and high threshholds, although alarms for all monitors are difficult to hear at night. Monitor also displays directional trends with 3 and 24 hour graphs. $999.

	officervanessa March 2 at 5:35 pm My Rating this has changed my life for the better, and am sad to see that so many people have problems with it! for the first time in 10 years, i have control over my blood sugars, and my A1c is finally at a descent level. Pros better control, and you can see what your blood sugar is doing the other 23 hours and 55 minutes a day that you dont check it. Cons if not covered by your insurance, it is pretty expensive :(

	ikswalps December 22 at 10:32 am My Rating This thing is absolutely a huge rip-off by Medtronic. They are charging an exorbitant amount for a device that does not work. Even though my insurance paid for it, I had to fight with Medtronic to take it back and reimburse the insurance company. DO NOT LISTEN TO THE SALES PITCH THEY GIVE YOU! Pros None Cons Most of the time this piece of junk sent "weak signal" to my pump which means no data is available to me. They could not get it to work properly. When it did occasionally send something, it was rarely close to my meter test. Once, about 4 hours after calibration it sent me a reading of 112. I did not feel right, so I tested…I was 60. Let me say again, this thing could be dangerous to use. I am not new to type 1 diabetes control, after struggling with this disease for 53 years. My last A1c was 5.7 so I know how to do it pretty well with all the practice I have had. This device will not help you and could hurt you in my opinion.
