A History of Diabetes Management Products
Evolution of an industry

At Medtronic Diabetes, our 20 plus year history vividly reflects our dedication and ongoing vision to develop an "artificial pancreas⁵".

In 1983, we pioneered the idea of continuous insulin delivery, introducing our first insulin pump in an effort to find a "better way" to deliver insulin for people with diabetes.
Since that time, Medtronic Diabetes has remained the market leader, earning a reputation for excellence in insulin pump therapy and continuous glucose monitoring.

• We were the first to introduce continuous glucose monitoring⁶ products to the market and the only to offer an FDA approved device for professionals⁷.
• We are the only company working towards delivering the first artificial pancreas onto the market within the next few years.
• We are committed to refining our support services and tools to build our patients' trust and confidence.

We think you'll agree, our advanced insulin pump therapy⁸, combined with our continuous glucose monitoring⁹ products delivers state-of-the-art diabetes management solutions¹⁰ to people with diabetes – not only today, but well into the future.
