CareLink^™ software

CareLink™ Personal is designed for use by people with compatible devices and their care partners at home. Account creation is required with an active email account.  

1. Go to https://carelink.minimed.com
2. A “Create an Account” button is available on the CareLink™ Personal homepage.
3. You will need to select your country of residence, preferred language, and accept the terms of use and Privacy Statement.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to create your account.
5. The final step will prompt you for a two-step authentication process to verify your registered email address. It will send an email to the address you register as part of setup with a verification code, which you must correctly enter before submitting your registration. Afterwards, when logging in, you may be prompted to do this process in the future depending on your country of residence’s security requirements. Your valid email address is very important to allow this to work.

CareLink™ Personal has a two-factor authentication process in some countries that provides extra protection for your health information. This security feature asks you to verify who is logging into your account by providing an authentication code via your registered email to prevent others from accessing or using your account. Check “My Profile” to see if this option is available in your country.

To successfully complete the two-factor authentication procedure, you need to:

Have access to the email address you registered in CareLink™ Personal setup, along with your username and password.

When prompted, enter the authentication code sent to your email address to access your account. The code is valid for 15 minutes; if it expires, a new one must be requested by attempting to log in again.

NOTE: You can change the email address in the “My Profile” screen in CareLink™ Personal.

If uploading data from a pump, you will need one (1) of the following:

  NOTE: The white CareLink™ USB used with MiniMed™ Paradigm™ pump systems is not compatible with Mac^® operating systems. On Mac^®, you should use the Ascensia CONTOUR^® NEXT LINK meter.
• Ascensia CONTOUR^® NEXT LINK for MiniMed™ Paradigm™ systems
• Ascensia CONTOUR^® NEXT LINK 2.4 or CONTOUR^® PLUS LINK 2.4 for MiniMed™ 600 series systems

For more information, view our resources on how to upload to CareLink™ Personal.

If you are physically in a clinic with your healthcare professional, you can share your data by entering your CareLink™ Personal username and password into their computer. Otherwise, if you provide your HCP your CareLink™ Personal username only, they will be able to send you a request remotely to share your data. 

For a MiniMed™ 700 series pump user: You must be using the MiniMed™ Mobile app and your care partner needs to download the CareLink™ Connect app on their mobile device. Your care partner will need to follow the instructions in the app and will need your CareLink™ Personal username to send you a linking request.

For a Guardian™ Connect CGM user: Your care partner will need to sign up for a CareLink™ Personal account in the website (https://carelink.minimed.com) but select a “Care partner account.” Once they are signed up, they can send you a linking request using your CareLink™ Personal username. Guardian™ Connect users can only have their data viewed by care partners on the CareLink™ Personal website (laptop, mobile device, or PC).

Guardian™ Connect app and MiniMed™ Mobile app users will have their full data uploaded automatically every 24 hours unless changes are made in the respective app settings.

We recommend having data syncing switched on or uploading manually at least every 4 to 6 weeks.

Login to your CareLink™ Personal account. Click Reports in the left-hand column. Select the date range of the data you would like to view using the calendar at the top of the page and then select the reports you would like to generate below by clicking on the circle in the tiles. Once you have selected a time frame and report types, click Generate Reports.

You can narrow down your report options by selecting the data type at the top of the report tiles. You can choose “Insulin Pump,” “Standalone CGM,” or “Meter.” Unsuitable reports based on the selection will be grayed out.
