SmartGuard™ technology

Our most advanced insulin pump system
with SmartGuard™ technology

SmartGuard™ technology continuously anticipates your insulin needs, adjusts insulin delivery, and corrects highs automatically,  while helping to protect you from lows.2 And with the Meal Detection feature, the system can detect if you’ve missed a meal dose and give you more insulin when you need it to help reduce post-meal highs.

Things you should know about the MiniMed™ 780G

Advanced algorithm

The algorithm adapts to you providing better time in range than other systems.7

Wear what you want

Feel free to hide or show the pump 
depending on your outfit choice.

Disconnect for up to an hour for activities.

Waterproof design 

A tough, easy-to-use pump.

Trusted across Europe

Used by hundreds of thousands, MiniMed 780G™ is Europe’s most popular automated insulin pump.

Less carb counting

The only system with Meal Detection™ Technology that automatically  delivers correction doses every 5 minutes.

Fewer injections

With the 15-day Instinct sensor and 7-day Extended™ infusion set, the system requires as few as 6 device insertions a month.

Are you worried about wearing a tube?

Having a tube allows you to disconnect for up to an hour when needed, as well as the flexibility to put the pump in a place that suits your outfit. Proudly on a belt or discreetly in a pocket, a body belt, in a bra it’s totally up to you.

Guardian™ Link 4 TransmitterUsed with your pump for Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM). A device that connects to a glucose sensor. The transmitter collects data measured by the sensor and wirelessly sends this data to monitoring devices.
Guardian™ 4 Sensor & transmitterUsed with your pump for Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM). Does not require finger pricks for calibration or to make diabetes treatment decisions.  It measures glucose levels every 5 minutes, that’s 288 times a day, and provides you and your pump with up to date information on where your glucose levels are, and where they are heading. This data can also be used by the pump to alert you about upcoming high or low.
AccessoriesThere are many ways to wear your insulin pump. You can attach your pump to your waistband or belt, protect it in your pocket, or even clip it under clothing. See our collection of accessories here. https://www.medtronic-diabetes.co.uk/minimed-insulin-pump-accessories
Accu-Chek® Guide Blood Glucose MeterThe MiniMed™ 780G system comes with a compatible meter. It wirelessly connects to your pump, allowing you to send blood glucose meter readings to your pump. 

Frequently asked questions

The MiniMed™ 780G system is approved for people with type 1 diabetes, age 2 and above. If you would like a stand-alone CGM and not an insulin pump, consider looking into Smart MDI System.

Yes. With the MiniMed™ 780G system you can easily track your glucose levels and view notifications and alerts on your smartphone. Up to 5 care partners can be invited to download the CareLink™ Connect app and view your real-time glucose values on their phones. Available to download at no cost for most iOS and Android smartphones. To see if your smartphone is compatible, see this reference chart.

The MiniMed™ 780G system automatically  adjusts insulin delivery and corrects glucose levels every 5 minutes 24/7, requiring no finger pricks . It features an advanced level of automation for diabetes management, known as SmartGuard™ technology. If your glucose levels are trending high, it gives you more insulin. If they are trending low, it gives you less or no insulin at all. Now it can even correct high glucose levels in cases where carb counts aren’t exact.

The MiniMed™ 780G system, automatically  adjusts delivery of basal insulin based on Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) values. This means that the pump gets glucose readings from Instinct sensor and transmitter automatically, and then delivers a variable rate of insulin, 24 hours a day based on your personal needs. This integrated system – meaning having a pump and a CGM that speak to one another – can help to stabilise your glucose levels and reduce both high and low glucose levels.

When you use an insulin pump, you have a dramatic reduction in injections – by up to 90%.** The infusion set that attaches to your body contains a small, flexible plastic cannula that is inserted to be placed under the skin and changed every 2-3 days. A CGM glucose sensor is inserted every 7 days. Using the SmartGuard™ feature does not completely replace finger pricks but you will likely check your BG less frequently. Sensor readings are taken from your interstitial fluid (fluid surrounding the cells in your tissue) and not your blood, you still need to test using a BG meter. With Guardian™ 4 sensor and transmitter a blood glucose reading is needed when you first enter SmartGuard™ feature, otherwise no finger pricks are required. If glucose alerts and CGM readings do not match your symptoms, use a blood glucose meter to make diabetes treatment decisions. It is important to know that all blood glucose values entered & accepted are used for calibration. Refer to System User Guide - SmartGuard™ feature. Some user interaction required.
*Assumes four injections per day for 30 days and one infusion set change every two to three days.

*At the time of manufacture and when the reservoir and tubing are properly inserted, your pump is waterproof. It is protected against the effects of being underwater to a depth up to 2.4 meters (8 feet) for up to 30 minutes. Although it’s designed to be waterproof, drops and bumps that occur over time can make it more vulnerable to damage from water. We recommend removing your pump before swimming or bathing. CGM readings may not be transmitted from the sensor to the pump while in water.

  1. Get started by contacting us https://www.medtronic-diabetes.com/en-gb/contact so we can have someone follow up with you. We will help answer any questions, discuss out-of-pocket costs, if you plan to self fund sensors.
  2. Once the system is purchased and shipped, we will work with you to schedule your training. We have a robust technical support team who will help conduct an in-person training. (With the use of CGM and SmartGuard™ tech. You may need a few training sessions.)
  3. Once you’re trained, we will continue to support you throughout your journey with us. We will provide ongoing educational resources and also offer a dedicated Technical Support team who are available 24/7.
