Basal Generator
While using SmartGuard™, the pump adjusts your basal on its own. When your sensor expires or fails, MiniMed 780G switches to manual mode and returns to the basal you set earlier, which may no longer be up to date. This app analyzes your SmartGuard™ history and builds a ready basal pattern from it, before you need it.
Supported sensors: Guardian™ 4, Simplera Sync™, and Instinct™.

About Basal Generator
Basal Generator is a free, independent tool for people with Type 1 diabetes who use the Medtronic MiniMed™ 780G insulin pump. It reads the automatic basal insulin that SmartGuard™ has already delivered and shows it hour by hour, with charts and statistics from your own history.
What is SmartGuard™ Auto Mode?
In Auto Mode, the MiniMed 780G adjusts your basal insulin on its own, based on readings from your sensor. You do not set a basal pattern for this mode - the pump decides continuously, and its work is recorded as automatic basal micro-boluses.
What is Manual Mode and why does the basal pattern matter?
When your sensor expires or fails, or Auto Mode ends for another reason, the pump switches to Manual Mode and delivers the basal pattern saved in its settings. If that pattern was set long ago, it may no longer match what SmartGuard™ has actually been delivering recently. That is the gap this tool lets you look at.
What does Basal Generator show?
For a period you choose (from 7 to 365 days), it shows your automatic basal delivery for each hour of the day as a chart and a table, together with daily totals. You can optionally include automatic corrections in the totals. These are statistics of the past, meant as a reference when you review your Manual Mode basal with your diabetologist - not a recommendation of settings.

Step-by-step setup
- Create an account. First, create an account at guardian.nasiadka.pl.
- Download the app. Download the app for your system (Windows, Linux, MacOS, or Android). Download links are available after logging in.
- Run and log in. Launch the app - it will ask you to log in with your guardian.nasiadka.pl account.Desktop: After logging in to Basal Generator, a browser will open for CareLink login.Android: In the Basal Generator tab, log in to guardian.nasiadka.pl, then go to the CareLink tab and log in there.Windows users may see a SmartScreen warning - this is normal for new applications and safe to proceed.
- Log in to CareLink. Log in with your CareLink account to start synchronization. Using the MiniMed Mobile app is required - it reads your pump data and uploads it to CareLink servers, which our service then fetches.
- You're all set! 🎉 Once authenticated, the application sends your token to our server, which fetches your pump data every few hours. Analysis results will appear on this page. Tip: collect data for at least a few days for the most accurate results.
Privacy & Security
- Your CareLink password stays with youYour CareLink password is never stored or transmitted to our servers. The app only sends access tokens - temporary credentials that you can revoke at any time. Tokens are used only to fetch your pump data.
- Minimal data collectionWe store only essential data: basal micro-boluses and automatic corrections (timestamp and insulin amount). No glucose readings, sensor data, or pump settings are stored. Your personal information is kept to a minimum and never used for advertising or analytics.
- Strong password protectionYour guardian.nasiadka.pl password is hashed using bcrypt before storage - we can't see your actual password. The system requires a complex password for better security.
- You are in controlRevoke access anytime by changing your CareLink password or deleting your account. Once you delete your account, your data is deleted.
- Open and transparentThis is a personal project with no commercial interests. Your data is never sold or used for anything beyond providing you with basal analysis. You can review what data is stored and request deletion at any time.
