About this app

Now you can follow up to five people simultaneously. Right on your phone, The CareLink™ Connect app provides an easy way to view the sensor glucose levels of a person with diabetes using some Medtronic devices.

When a family member or a friend has diabetes, you want to be supportive and stay close. You might want to know if their glucose levels go too high or too low, be able to quickly and easily access their insulin pump or Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) system information.

To remotely access sensor glucose levels or pump system information, care partners need to install the CareLink™ Connect app on their smartphone. Additionally, the person with diabetes must have a compatible MiniMed™ insulin pump or CGM connected to the CareLink™ software through the corresponding patient mobile app. For more information about the CareLink™ Connect app, please visit the local Medtronic website or contact a representative.

IMPORTANT NOTE: For real-time updates, the app must consistently receive data from the CareLink™ server, while the insulin pump or CGM system must continually upload data to the CareLink™ server. The CareLink™ Connect app exclusively supports the MiniMed ™ 700-series insulin pump and selected CGM systems. It does not support all other CGM systems, MiniMed™, or Paradigm™ insulin pumps. To find a list of compatible smartphones, please visit your local Medtronic website.

The CareLink™ Connect app is intended to provide a secondary display of insulin pump and CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor) data on a supported mobile device. CareLink™ Connect app is not intended to replace the real-time display of insulin pump or CGM data on the primary display device. All therapy decisions should be based on the primary display device.

CareLink™ Connect app is not intended to analyze or modify the insulin pump and CGM data that it receives. Nor is it intended to control any function of the insulin pump or CGM system to which it is connected. CareLink™ Connect app is not intended to receive information directly from the insulin pump or CGM system.

Ratings and reviews

The phone/android version support is *critically poor for this app. The app itself I like a lot - it's extremely useful. However: android updates are not optional for android users - and this app *seems to have an excessively narrow range of compatibility requirements. Doesn't work on my recently upgraded Note 12 and the compat list on the company site is almost impossible to navigate (you'd think it would be easy - there's a list - which *looks like a compatibility list... but..)

Doesn't work on Oppo Color OS version of Android. Not compatible with Mobile device message despite Play Store indication that it is compatible. Over 2 years in and app still incompatible with majority of devices. Devs clearly only bothering to test on their own Apple and Samsung devices. For a device of this scale, importance and cost I can't be the only that expects better of an international company within the field of medical devices.

Can't turn on notifications. After checking notification and pressing save it just loses selections without turning them on. Used to work earlier but not any more. Also really annoying that it logs off once and while without notice or reason.
