Frequently asked questions

The MiniMed Go™ System brings together an ecosystem of smart tools that provide real-time insights and comprehensive reports to make it easier to manage life on MDI.

  • Simplera™ CGM is a real-time, glucose monitoring system indicated for the management of diabetes in persons aged 2 years and older.
  • The InPen™ smart insulin pen is intended for single-patient use by people with diabetes for the self-injection of a desired dose of insulin. For people with diabetes who do not self-manage their diabetes, the use of InPen™ connected insulin pen should always be under the supervision of a caregiver.

We’ve updated our standalone CGM system app and hardware to improve the customer experience. These are the most significant updates that can be found in the Simplera™ CGM:

  • The previous system was called the Guardian™ 4 Smart CGM System. This next generation of our Smart CGM is called the Simplera™ CGM.
  • The Simplera™ continuous glucose monitoring now takes just 9 seconds to insert with a two-step one-handed sensor insertion.
  • No overtape required to keep sensor in place.

At this time, InPen™ diabetes smart insulin pen is Lilly Humalog®, Lilly Lyumjev®, Novo Nordisk NovoRapid®, Novo Nordisk Fiasp® and Novo Nordisk Insulin Aspart Injection, 3mL cartridges (300 units). The MiniMed Go™ system is designed to work with standard insulin pen needles.

Colour availability varies by region. At this time, within Europe, the following colours are available:

  • Blue InPen™ compatible with Novo Nordisk insulin cartridges
  • Grey InPen™ compatible with Lilly insulin cartridges

The MiniMed Go™ app has a wide range of compatibility with several Apple® and Android™ devices. You can find updated compatibility information here on our website. We recommend checking compatibility and switching off automatic operating system updates to ensure the best possible user experience.

InPen™ connected insulin pen is the first Smart  insulin pen that uses Bluetooth® technology and intelligence through an easy-to-use Smartphone app to help people administer correction and meal-time insulin doses.

As part of our MiniMed Go™ system, you can view CGM data in real time from your Simplera™ CGM by linking the app to your CareLink™ Personal account. At this time within Europe, CGM data from the Simplera™ CGM, Guardian™ Connect and Guardian™ 4 system can be viewed in the MiniMed™ Go app.

Your Healthcare Professional or MiniMed representative may provide training on the MiniMed Go™ system. Additional resources can be found at the MiniMed Diabetes Learning Hub.

Yes, multiple InPen™ Smart insulin pens can be synced with one app account.

Cartridges are not included with InPen™ smart insulin pen. Your Healthcare Professional will provide you with your prescription for your diabetes management supplies.
