Great job!! Love the methodical approach to comparing the CGMs. When you see meaningful differences in the numbers, try to note the conditions (pre/post meal, pre/post exercise, etc.) to see if you find a correlation between some behavioral or environmental factor and that difference at that timepoint.

I love my 780G. It’s kept me in range way more than my X2 and OP5 did. Hopefully the Simplera Sync comes out to the U.S. soon

Thank you for the video! Would love to know about the simplera insertion when it bleeds. I've currently been on the 780G for a while now, and bleeding on the G4 sensor insertions is sadly quite common (just for me that is), and it also reads poorly when certain amounts of blood seeps through (or it just isn't able to warm up completely in the end). Would love to know about this :). Keep up the great work! It's always super nice knowing more info from you.

Hi, congratulations on the video and what you do as a youtuber. I use the 780 pump and would love to see its use with simplera to understand any improvements in blood glucose management considering they have also implemented a revamped algorithm.

Love your videos I'm diabetic type 2 and use a Inpen and a dexcom g7 I'm new to this was diagnosed in Easter 22

Hi Justin. Great video. When you experienced blood sugar dropping, I am interested to see if you can tell whether Dexcom or the Simplera pick up on the change sooner. When I wore Dexcom G6 and Medtronic G4 side by side last year, the Medtronic G4 would show the drop sooner. This difference means the pump algorithm can respond sooner to those drops.

Thanks for attaching so many sensors for this! (lol) On another note - Spain! I was born in Madrid. I guess I should travel back to get these. (live in Arizona) I am currently having many issues with my Medtronics 780g CGM Guardian 4 sensor. The past 3 applications have NOT been lasting 7 days. 4 at best. Medtronics is good about replacing those free but something is wrong - maybe the transmitter? (it was dropped 4 changes ago) Not a big deal about the 7 day use & 2 hr warm up - I'm use to that - just would like it to last the 7 days. Taping also not a big deal. One other gripe is the Medtronic app will only work with my Galaxy Pixel 6a in phone lock. Thanks again for your great KZbin vid on this!👋👋👋

Thank you! This is really exciting. I'm especially looking forward to you trying to get data out of the Medtronic walled garden. I've been having the worst time of it. On Android through XDrip, and it's really terrible.

I’ve got the chance to change insulin pumps in January 25 and I was without doubt going to change from the Medtronic one because of the guardian 4 sensors. Not only does it have a two hour warmup but it often goes into updating mode for hours on end (more than the 3 they say is normal). I need to unplug it from the transmitter and restart it on another two hour warmup and if I’m lucky it will work the second time around, so yeah, I was definitely going to change away from Medtronic. But the simplera sensor might make me think twice.

@theresa8697 2 ай бұрын

Not ready for a pump yet, but I am leaning toward the Medtronic 780G. I have hesitated because I don’t like the G4 CGM. This seems better. The seven day wear time doesn’t bother me since Medtronic also has a seven day infusion set for their pumps. Theoretically, one day a week could be set aside for site changes. Probably Sunday evening for me. Yes, the 14 day Libre would allow for the same thing but this works. Since you got it Spain, you can’t comment on pricing in the U.S. but I would certainly be curious how it might compare to the Dexcom or Libre cgms.

When you remove the CGM does the needle come out? Does it hurt? What if it breaks and stays in?

With the performance on day one looking to be good and the ability to start it before swapping to the next I don't se the 7 days as an issue. I waiting to get the closed loop simplera and 780G.

If we’re on the subject of Medtronic: - what is the timeline on the Abbott Freestyle sensor? Is there any? - do they have any development on their algorithm for endurance sports? The current one seems to fail miserably when the human produces more than 200 watts on their ride. - And pls a status-update on the Medtronic 8 series pump.

I am on Guardian 4 with 780g pump. The GMI on the carelink reports is lower than my A1c (6.4 vs 6.8) which means all the data provided by G4 is not fully accurate. Would be interested to know if Simplera (Sync) is better in this regards.

Great Job diabetech. I love your Work. Do you know if the simplera for 780g can Be read in an Android smartwatch? Thank you

@Joanna-vu1se Ай бұрын

Thank you for this review! I am highly interested in switching Guardian 4 to Simplera Sync. My only concern is : I put Guardian 4 couple of hours before I connect it to the Minimed 780g pump and the sensor seems to work much better (more accurate from the beggining) this way. Will I be able to do the trick with Simplera? When does a 7 day wear start - is it the moment I pair it with pump or it starts right after it has been inserted?

After insertion the 2 hour warmup begins

The reason for the disposable transmitters is to prevent extending the sensor past 7 days (Medtronic) or 10 days (Dexcom). It’s about money.

@maartenvanderpoel5804 Ай бұрын

one big issue im having with the simplera is the amount of pressure needed to make it release the spring, like jezus i have had 2 in the same box just not going off in the first place.

Oh wow! Did you contact Medtronic? What happened?

Medtronic just called me to c if I have enough supplies stockpiled. Apparently they r having problems getting things out to people on time. I would think that will just make more people leave them for Dexcom and Omnipod and whoever else is doing a better job than Medtronic is currently.

Only Libre 2 for me. T1 for 66 years. To bad 780g doesn't work with Libre 2 CGM. Will not get this 780g pump because of this. 😢 My warrenty is expired on my 670g pump so will get T-slim 2X pump instead...

What is the MARD of Simplera, I believe it is above 10 and is this true. Strange, because I would have expected it to get better with each new cgm release, not worse.

@diabe_tech 9 күн бұрын

I believe it is 10.2% which is the same/similar to guardian 4. Simply uses the same CGM technology as Guardian 4. It leads me to believe that’s why Medtronic is working with Abbott on a new censor that would have a better accuracy.

The warmup period is closer to 2hrs 45 minutes if you add the time needed for the transmitter to recharge. Add the time needed for placement and you’re close to three hours

Yeah. With the freestyle libre 3 taking only 1 hour and lasting 14 days, unless this one is massively lower in cost, I don’t see the point.

Hey Justin, It sounds like you have a teeny bit of a cold or you had just been talking for a long time or yelling at a soccer game just prior to the filming of this video in this video, are you okay? I heard this at the beginning of the video where you were wearing your glasses.
