The regular Medtronic pump does not have this function since glucose
readings are not being fed into it. The Medtronic plus CGM does because the
CGM feeds glucose readings, alerting the pump when sugars are low and can
then turn itself off.
If you need this feature, the regular pump will not work for you. Unless
things have changed since the last time I looked at Medtronic pumps, then a
regular Medtronic pump without CGM feature does not have feature to turn on
and off.

For those of you who are using Medtronics can you tell me if the low blood
sugar warning noise is loud? Can you adjust the sound?
Now I thought it makes a sound, but how does it know if your sugar is low?
If the only way is by actually testing your blood sugar and entering in the
numbers, if I could do that then I wouldn't need it to make a noise.
