Technology Solutions for Type 1 Diabetes Management & More Time in Range



What is Time in Range?
Time in Range is the amount of time spent within a healthy glucose range of 70 - 180 mg/dL. Spending more time in range throughout the day makes sure you are spending less time high or low.

Why Does Time in Range Matter?
More time in range means fewer highs & lows – and is correlated with better quality of life.1,2 More time in range means more time feeling healthy and confident about your diabetes management.3

Technology Can Help
Insulin Pump Therapy and Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) can help you keep your glucose levels in range so you can feel better. And when you feel better, you can focus more on the rest of your life. See below for more details.

Medtronic would like to tell you more about technology solutions for type 1 diabetes.

IS INSULIN PUMP THERAPY RIGHT FOR ME?

People can benefit from an insulin pump who want to:4

  • Reduce the number of injections
  • Reduce lows
  • Increase flexibility in food choices, eating schedule, and activities
  • Lower their A1C level
  • Help with dawn phenomenon (high blood sugars in the early morning)
  • Help with delayed digestion

HOW DOES IT WORK?

An insulin pump gives you insulin in a way that matches your needs better than shots or pens can. It’s about the size of a small cell phone and you can wear it discreetly on your belt, in your pocket or under your clothes.



HOW DOES IT WORK?

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) lets you see your glucose numbers anytime, anywhere so you can be more proactive about your diabetes. A small sensor measures glucose levels from the fluid under your skin and a coin-sized transmitter sends those readings to a smartphone or insulin pump. Using a glucose monitor may allow glucose readings as often as every 5 minutes, allowing you to fingerstick less often. CGM can be used with or without an insulin pump.*

DIFFERENT TYPES OF CGM

There is a range of options when it comes to CGM products. Some of them can predict future high and low sensor glucose events anywhere from 10 minutes to up to 60 minutes in advance. And there are CGM options that can also provide input on how activities, food and insulin may be impacting your levels.**

IS CONTINUOUS GLUCOSE MONITORING RIGHT FOR ME?***

CGM is especially beneficial for people who:5

  • Are looking to be more proactive in their diabetes management
  • Want to better understand how different foods impact their diabetes
  • Want to reduce their A1C targets without increasing lows
