The Paradigm is a great insulin pump with all the features you would expect from a high-end modern 'smart pump'.

Being able to add the mini-link continuous monitoring system is great if you can afford the cost of the transmitter and sensors. While the cost of buying a glucose monitoring sensor and transmitter is not covered by health funds or medicare today, it is good to have that option in the future if things change (and some hospitals are looking at acquiring a 'shared' transmitter you could borrow for a few days).
Good Points Well known to health professionals
Integrates with online management system
Integrates with Real-Time continuous blood glucose sensor
Bad Points No dedicated backlight button
