I recently upgraded from a <a href="https://www.minimed.com/en-us/products/minimed-780g-insulin-pump-system">MiniMed 780G</a> to a <a href="https://www.minimed.com/en-us/products/minimed-flex-system">MiniMed Flex</a>. Overall the Flex is an improvement, but there are some things I wish were different.</p> <p>Both systems pair with a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and use its readings to adjust basal insulin and deliver correction boluses automatically. The algorithm is currently the same on both pumps, although I believe some future algorithm updates may be available only for the Flex.</p>
