Yes! Our insulin pumps are indicated for persons of all ages requiring insulin. Our REAL-Time Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) technology is indicated for patients age 7 and older. For children and teens ages 7-17 who are using CGM, separate pediatric models are indicated. The pediatric model MiniMed Paradigm 522K/722K Insulin Pump is for children and teens 7-17 who will be using continuous glucose monitoring. (If continous glucose monitoring will not be used, the standard model 522/722 Insulin Pump can be used.) There is also a pediatric model of the Guardian REAL-Time system. Please see our Safety Information page for more details.
