Connectivity and Compatibility – MiniMed Connect Review

The concept of this app is phenomenal. It provides a handheld platform for displaying glucose sensor trend information, and updates cloud information for my healthcare providers. It has been incredibly useful for driving and skiing when my insulin pump is not readily accessible. I display the app when driving, and use it to plan stops and snacks based on the trend graph. I use it to monitor glucose while skiing similarly when my pump is under layers of clothing. The display of pump, sensor, and uploader status shows battery levels, connectivity, remaining insulin, and remaining sensor life at a glance. One complaint is that it sometimes takes a while to connect and display the trend graph, and sometimes hangs up doing so. A second complaint is that the development team is slow to keep up with Apple IOS releases. While the app still functions, this necessitates an override when first launching the app.
