Blood Glucose Monitoring
By Charlie on Aug 11, 2008 in Hearing & Orthepedic
Which insulin pumps have blood glucose monitoring with them?
Some pumps have the feature of glucose monitoring with them and other pumps do not. I want a pump that you dont have to buy the continous monitoring thingy seperate. and If you know any sites that compare different pumps, I’d really appreciate it! Thanks!
Medtronic MiniMed has the only pump to date with the CGMS. The CGMS is a seperate unit with a seperate sensors that lasts for several days. Right now most insurance companies will not cover the cost of CGMS sensors and they cost approximately $10.00 each. The technology for CGMS is still pretty new and not really reliable so CGMS will not replace a finger stick glucose monitor yet.
This site is a good one for pump comparisons. http://www.diabetesnet.com/diabetes_technology/insulin_pump_models.php
