Alert: Product and Recall NoticesPump Tip: Square Wave Bolus
MiniMed® Paradigm Models, MiniMed® Revel, MiniMed® 530G system, MiniMed® 630G system
Little kids (and big kids alike) might enjoy the treats and other sweet-goodies that go along with Halloween. It’s hard to resist a cupcake decorated like a vampire, we know. As long as you plan and adjust your bolus amounts accordingly, you can still manage to dip into a treat or two this Halloween.
Your pump’s Square Wave Bolus feature can be useful when you plan to extend your meals or snacking over an extended period of time — like when you binge watch every single monster movie on Netflix. For more information on how to set your Square Wave Bolus feature, here’s a great resource: http://www.medtronicdiabetes.com/customer-support/device-settings-and-features/bolus-settings/square-wave
Before hitting play on that scary movie, it’s important to consult with your healthcare professional before using this feature.

Heard there was a new pump being tested in Canada–insulin for high blood sugar and glucose for low blood sugar. If true, I will be in my 80’s before the FDA approves it in the states (I’m 67). I am interested in clinical trials.
Hi Nicklette – if you’re interested in clinical trials, please visit clinicaltrials.gov and search for Medtronic.
