The MiniMed Go™ system helps people manage diabetes. It is a single-app solution that can integrate glucose measurements captured from a compatible continuous glucose monitor (CGM) with data on insulin doses delivered by the InPen™ smart insulin pen. The app can be used with InPen, Instinct sensor made by Abbott, or Simplera™ sensor CGMs, and with Apple Watch™ to view glucose readings and receive alerts. When connected to a CGM, the app supports display of Sensor Glucose (SG) values and trend arrows. When connected to the InPen smart insulin pen, the app supports automatic logging insulin doses administered by InPen, tracking of active insulin, and a dose calculator. The app also supports alerts or reminders for low glucose, high glucose, and insulin doses. The MiniMed Go app should only be used with supported mobile devices and operating systems. In order to access the list of the supported mobile devices and operating systems, go to https://www.medtronicdiabetes.com/customer-support/app-support/device-compatibility. IMPORTANT NOTE: The MiniMed Go app is intended for use with the InPen smart insulin pen and compatible continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems and compatible rapid-acting insulins (NovoRapid, Fiasp, or Humalog) to aid in diabetes management through multiple daily injections. Instinct sensor with InPen smart insulin pen is indicated for ages 7 and up, or for ages 2-6 years under the supervision of an adult caregiver. Simplera sensor with InPen smart insulin pen is approved for ages 18 years and older. Adequate sight and hearing, compatible mobile device and operating system, pairing and connectivity, proper settings, accurate manual logging of insulin doses administered by means other than InPen, and occasional blood glucose meter (BGM) readings are all required for proper functioning of the system. Treatment decisions are to be made in consultation with a healthcare professional and on the basis of a combination of glucose readings, trend arrows, glucose target, active alerts, and recent events (such as insulin doses, exercise, meals, and medications). Failure to observe these and other details as found in the user guides can result in incorrect dosing, missed alerts and notifications, and ultimately hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia, with serious injury or death possible. For complete details, consult the appropriate system and component user guides at https://www.medtronicdiabetes.com/support/download-library/user-guides, taking care to select the correct country. ©2026 Medtronic MiniMed, Inc.

When You Don’t Have Their Sensor It Still Works

I have used the InPen since its inception. My insurance doesn’t always cover but I pay out of pocket (my pharmacy had a good coupon this time) Also they don’t cover this brand of sensors. I was a bit worried after reading the reviews but it turns out that, once I went through the sign up and sign in rigamarole, when it asked which sensor I use, I just chose the top one. When it comes to the home screen it just says No Sensor. There’s no problem using the app without one. Then it’s similar to the InPen app, just manually enter blood sugar and carbs etc. It doesn’t take long to figure it out. It’s a bit more complex, more steps, than the InPen app but I do like that I can enter carbs from an earlier time, among other things. I’m still getting used to the app but I think overall it is going to be fine.

MiniMed Sensor and InPen pairing is seamless and incredibly easy to use. The app provides clear, intuitive glucose graphs, detailed daily history, event logs, customizable high and low alerts, and helpful reminders—all in one place. Diabetes management is much simpler. Thank you, MiniMed, for creating such a reliable and user-friendly experience!

Horrible, delete it.

Delete this atrocity and go back to the Companion Medical app before it’s removed from the App Store because this app is absolutely horrible. - No support for Dexcom (intentionally)- No more logbook. - No more simple ways to view doses clearly and quickly. - No more convenient reports. - Even the IC & ISF time blocks are more cumbersome to input in the new settings, plus does NOT allow decimals for your values anymore. - Still no iOS widget. - Still no simple approximation of how much insulin may be left in the cartridgeMight as well be a standard disposable pen tbh. You won’t tell the difference. The app appears to solely be focused on boosting sales of their CGM with little to no care for actual features that matter to the patient. — was this even designed by diabetics? Because I can’t tell. This app is Medtronic’s way to bottleneck the patient onto their Simplera sensor and honestly seems more focused on that than the InPen itself.

InPen App is Much Better

This app is more focused for users of the company's cgm, which I do not have. I have only used their InPen for going in 4 years. The entire opening screen is useless to me, there's just one tiny line showing insulin on board and if I want to see how much i've dosed through the day I have to click through two extra screens to get there. If taking away the InPen app is your way of trying to force people to use you CGM, it won't work for me. I'm even more convinced I need to move to EverSense and a pump because this forced MiniMed Go app has made managing my care more difficult,

Use Statement
The MiniMed Go app is indicated for people with diabetes or their caregivers. The indicated patient population varies based on the combination of connected CGM and injector.

Simplera sensor only: Diabetes patients ages 18 years and older

InPen smart insulin pen only: Diabetes patients ages 7 years and older, or younger patients under
the supervision of an adult caregiver

Simplera sensor and InPen smart insulin pen: Diabetes patients ages 18 years and older

Instinct sensor and InPen smart insulin pen: Diabetes patients ages 7 years and older, or patients
ages 2 to 6 years under the supervision of an adult caregiver

The dose calculator of the MiniMed Go app is indicated for the management of diabetes by people with diabetes for calculating an insulin dose based on user entered data, most recent glucose value and active insulin.

To calculate a recommended insulin dose, a healthcare professional must provide patient-specific therapy settings including glucose target, insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio, and insulin sensitivity parameters to be programmed into the software prior to use.

For an insulin dose based on fixed or variable meal sizes, a healthcare professional must also provide patient-specific fixed doses or meal sizes to be programmed into the software prior to use.

When connected to a CGM, the app supports display of Sensor Glucose (SG) values and trend arrows. When connected to the InPen smart insulin pen, the app supports automatic logging of insulin doses, tracking of active insulin, and a dose calculator. The app also supports alerts or reminders for low glucose, high glucose, and insulin doses.

Safety Information
The MiniMed Go system includes the MiniMed Go app, InPen smart insulin pen injector and either the Instinct continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensor or Simplera CGM sensor. The system is intended to aid in diabetes management through multiple daily injections of compatible rapid-acting insulins (Humalog, Novolog, or Fiasp). The app and system components each require a prescription. When used with Instinct CGM, the app is indicated for patients ages 7 years and older, or patients ages 2 to 6 years under the supervision of an adult caregiver. When used with Simplera CGM, the app is indicated for patients ages 18 and over. If using InPen alone, the app is intended for all ages, with patients under age 7 requiring supervision. Use of these systems requires, among other things, adequate hearing and vision, a compatible mobile device and operating system, an open app, adequate pairing and connectivity, use of an approved rapid-acting insulin, mobile device battery power, proper settings, accurate manual logging of insulin doses administered by means other than InPen, and occasional blood glucose meter (BGM) readings. Establishment of settings and treatment decisions should be made in consultation with a healthcare professional and on the basis of a combination of glucose readings, trend arrows, glucose target, active alerts, and recent events (such as insulin doses, exercise, meals, and medications). Failure to observe these and other details as found in the user guides can result in incorrect dosing, missed alerts and notifications, and ultimately hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia, with serious injury or death possible.
