Entering recommended SmartGuard™ settings


Device: MiniMed™ 780G insulin pump

When using SmartGuard™ technology, the MiniMed™ 780G system allows you to choose between a 100, 110, or 120 mg/dL auto basal glucose target. The recommended SmartGuard™ auto basal target is 100 mg/dL for adults and 110 mg/dL for children < 15 years old (this may be lowered to 100 mg/dL if there is no concern with lows).

Additionally, because this system uses Active Insulin Time (AIT) differently, a setting of 2 hours is recommended, if appropriate. As always, make sure to work with your healthcare provider to ensure your settings are safe and meet your needs.
