Inside the new Flex Pump - and what's coming next from MiniMed with Chief Technology Officer Ali Dianaty

from Diabetes Connections | Type 1 Diabetes · host Stacey Simms with Alie Dianaty

This week on Diabetes Connections, we're talking about the newest pump from MiniMed – the Flex looks a lot different from any pump produced by the company formerly known as Medtronic Diabetes. It has no screen it's controlled by phone.. and has a lot of other features we'll get into. I'm speaking to MiniMed's EVP, Chief Product and Technology Officer Ali Dianaty about the Flex, their upcoming patch pump, new software, a really interesting look at the testing of these algorithms.
