  • The FDA Approves Medtronic’s MiniMed 670G Hybrid Closed Loop System
  • the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Medtronic’s MiniMed 670G hybrid closed loop insulin pump and more accurate Guardian continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensor, Guardian Sensor 3. 
  • the 670G will reduce time at dangerous high and low blood sugar levels, improve time-in-range, reduce glucose variability, bring much greater nighttime safety and target morning blood sugars, and reduce diabetes hassle. The 670G is not a “cure” and still requires some user effort (see below), but it is a very welcome advance that will make insulin therapy safer and easier for many people with diabetes – and potentially greatly improve their control.

  • Many companies are working on similar automated insulin delivery products – Animas, Tandem, Insulet, Bigfoot, and others – meaning several options should exist for people with diabetes in the coming years. A special mention goes to JDRF and the tremendous vision and commitment of Jeffrey Brewer and Dr. Aaron Kowalski for pioneering this approach back in the early 2000s.

    My Fiance received a smiliar model, the 630G, last week. This is a huge improvement from the older model she was wearing! I'm excited for her and her safety as the technology advances to help people with Type 1 Diabetes to live a more normal life.
