With the pump, Linda fills the reservoir with insulin every three or four days and can adjust the insulin pump depending on how she feels and what she's doing if she chooses to. Before receiving the pump, she had to be more cautious when she ran a marathon because her blood sugar levels need to be fairly consistent throughout the entire race. She now uses Medtronic's MiniMed™ 670G system insulin pump with the Guardian™ 3 continuous glucose meter (CGM), which automatically reads her blood sugar levels and adjusts background insulin every five minutes based on sensor glucose changes. To learn more about how the insulin pump helps her achieve her goals, read the article on page 14.
