Medtronic Simplera CGM Review

- The new Medtronic CGM is here- Medtronic Simplera. My review is simple- they starting to catch-up. I found Simplera to be a fantastic and very comfortable wearable. Simplera works as a standalone CGM, connected with inPen and the different Simplera Sync sensor connects with Medtronic 780G. Hope you enjoy my video.

You make such a good point about how terrible the guardian is for anyone with physical disabilities. I don’t have any and still find it difficult to insert and tape adequately.
So ready for this to be available in the US!!
Yeah Simplera is really the first CGM from Medtronic that’s accessible to people with diabetes with physical disabilities. It also means they can now use 780G pump or inPen in a connected way.
@@Nerdabetic What happened to Medtronic's tubeless pump?
The deal to acquire the pump they wanted didn’t happen because of legal challenges and other matters. Medtronic publicly stated they working on an in house tubeless pump but it will be a very long time until we see this
Thanks for the review. It’s such a pity we probably won’t see it launch in South Africa any time soon. The G4 is the bane of my pump experience. The only options we have here are the 780g with G4 and the Tandem with G6/7.
Thank you for the update! Can’t wait til its available in the US
Great Kamil!!
Straight and to the point! Love it. Great vid 🤓😄😄😄
I find Medtronic to be asleep at the wheel because they dominated the North American market for such a long time. This stock unit is obviously an outcome of some internal questioning but it’s no way the best in my opinion.
My opinion being based on video reviews of course. I used 2 different Medtronic pumps then transferred to using Tandem + D6 and wowee! So whatever pump + CGM combo is actually a huge privilege if you can access it.
We are in “Diabetic Disneyland” as I call it after the decades of waiting on the stick… if you are lucky!
And thats why I put my sensor around my stomach/abdominal. Although, simplery is way better than the current G4, but statistically, its outdated comparing to the competitors.
It’s interesting that people do this for this reason. I’m completely not surprised though.
Roll on getting these, My wife went away for a few days and my sensor failed, had to wait until she got back to change it! Impossible on my own 😢Thanks for the content 👍
Oh wow. Thank you for sharing. So as a Guardian CGM user, you couldn’t change it on your own?
@@Nerdabetic No I can't! It's impossible on the back of your arms and my job as a sparks they take a beating in any other area! Crawling through a loft or under a floor 🤣thanks again, keep up the good work 👍
Is the sync version out in the UK now?
If you were on tandem pump and Dexcom g6 would you swap to Medtronic 780g with simplera sensor?
Doesn't it require calibration every day? That's what i read. I could talk a bit more about how did you extended the 7 day period.. it can be restarted, like the G4?
Hey, thanks for the review. Do you happen to know how to show your glucose on your SAMSUNG gear w4 (Android) watch?
Great for apple but... what about android??
wowow can’t wait to ditch the guardian 4 for this :D
Yeah! I’m so excited for you to do so 😄
So, on the DL, there's a trick where you can extend a G3 or G4 sensor by unplugging the transmitter from the sensor and plugging it back in and setting it up as a new sensor on the pump. I've been able to get an additional week quite regularly doing this.
Seems like there might not be a way to do this with Simplera :(
Once taking the transmitter off the sensor do you put on charger first? To make sure it’s charged good.
@@CBC683 My transmitter usually still has 70+% battery life so no I don't, but you can as long as you are careful taking your tape off so that you can reuse it
@@bruxis Thanks 😊
Is it available in the uk?
Is simplera direct to Apple Watch
Great videos btw
Thank you for that! No it’s via iPhone only.
