Medtronic Mini. Med Paradigm Veo Insulin Pump (5. Product Guide. The standout advance that the Medtronic Mini. Med Paradigm Veo has brought is its Low Glucose Suspend feature. If the Paradigm Veo is used with Medtronic’s Enlite CGM sensors, Low Glucose Suspend means that, if you glucose levels become too low, the pump will automatically cease insulin delivery until your glucose levels have risen back to normal. Note: An even more advanced insulin pump is now available from Medtronic, the Mini. Med 6. 40. G. The Mini.
- What is an insulin pump? An insulin pump is a small, portable and water-resistant device that continuously delivers rapid acting insulin 24 hours a day. Precise insulin delivery helps you achieve your ideal A1C and reduces the.
- To borrow a phrase from the late, great Rodney Dangerfield, “Basal insulin gets no respect.” Very few people know how to spell it correctly (basil? I mean, really!), and even fewer know what the heck it’s for.
Selecting an initial basal insulin dose. For patients treated with insulin before hospitalization, the daily insulin dose adjusted for the level of pre-hospitalization glycemic control would be a reasonable starting dose. Insulin infusion may be an alternative to a basal-bolus insulin regimen outside of the critical care setting for perioperative and other patients who are not eating (NPO status) and patients whose glycemia is poorly controlled.
The Initial Insulin Pump Requirements calculator estimates the initial insulin requirements for when you first use your insulin pump.
Med Paradigm Veo is available as two separate models, the MMT- 5. MMT- 7. 54). The difference between the 7. Key features As with other modern insulin pumps, the Paradigm Veo has a large number of features with some notable features being as follows: Bolus wizard. Large 3. 00 unit reservoir (for 7. Up to 4. 8 basal rates per day and 3 different basal patterns. Wireless Bluetooth connection with Bayer Contour NEXT Link blood glucose meter.

Low glucose suspend - when used with Enlite CGM sensors. Disadvantages Arguably the most commonly cited disadvantage with the Paradigm Veo is that, whilst it is splash proof, it is more susceptible to water damage than other pumps such as the Animas Vibe and Ypsomed mylife Omni. Pod. Low Glucose Suspend The Low Glucose Suspend feature is available if used with compatible Medtronic CGM sensors. When used with CGM functionality, this allows the pump to suspend insulin delivery if a low glucose level occurs. The feature is therefore very useful for preventing severe hypoglycemia occurring and is a particularly strong benefit for people that experience night time hypoglycemia.
Note that the Medtronic’s latest insulin pump, the Mini. Med 6. 40. G, takes the technology a step further by being able to anticipate low glucose levels and suspend insulin delivery even before the low values have occurred. Bolus doses The Paradigm Veo can deliver bolus doses in increments as small as 0. Express bolus (normal bolus) - full dose delivered immediately.
Square wave bolus (extended bolus) - dose delivered evenly over a specified amount of time. Dual wave bolus - part of the bolus delivered immediately with the remaining dose delivered evenly over a specified amount of time. Basal rates Up to 4. Paradigm Veo a very versatile pump when it comes to basal settings. In addition, the pump allows 3 different basal patterns to be set.
This means that you can choose to switch to using one of 2 additional preset basal rates patterns. This means you can have, for example, a different pattern of basal rates for the weekend or perhaps a lower set of basal rates for use following strenuous exercise. The Paradigm Veo also allows an additional temporary basal rate to be set.
Bolus wizard The bolus wizard helps you to calculate bolus doses by taking into account your blood glucose level, the amount of carbohydrate you intend to have, any active bolus insulin in your body, your insulin sensitivity and your carbohydrate to insulin ratio for the relevant time of day. You can set up to 8 different carbohydrate to insulin ratios. To work, the Bolus Wizard needs to know your current blood glucose level. You can either input the level manually or, if you are using a directly compatible blood glucose meter, such as the Bayer Contour NEXT Link, you can send your reading wirelessly from the meter to the pump using Bluetooth. Infusion sets The Paradigm Veo is compatible with Mini. Med infusion sets.
