Medtronic MiniMed Go App recalled for missed insulin alerts at night
Medtronic MiniMed Go App recalled for missed nighttime alerts
Medtronic MiniMed Go app versions 1.0.0 and 1.1.0 have a software bug: when the "Set day and night" feature is turned off, missed-dose and high-glucose alerts may fail to trigger at night. This means users may not realize they've missed insulin doses, potentially delaying treatment and raising blood sugar levels dangerously.
- Update to MiniMed Go app version 1.2.0 or later
- Do not turn off the "Set day and night" feature if you use missed-dose or high-glucose alerts
- Contact Medtronic or your healthcare provider if you have questions about your device
For MiniMed Go app version 1.0.0 and 1.1.0, when the Set day and night is turned OFF and missed dose or Correct high glucose alerts are enabled, the associated alerts will not be triggered during the nighttime. This could result in missed rapid-acting insulin doses without the user s knowledge, and may lead to delayed therapy and an increased risk of hyperglycemia.
