- I tested a brand new continuous glucose monitor. It has been shrouded in secrecy for months and just hit the market the market. It has a big ambition, to compete with FreeStyle Libre and Dexcom. Is the Medtronic Simplera CGM a good alternative or even a better tool to monitor your blood sugar levels? Watch this video to find out.

Hey, brother! I have a success story with significant credit to YOU. I just wanted to stress to you how helpful your content has been. I was taken to the ER in the last part of October and diagnosed with 1) diabetes type 2 and 2) diabetic keto-acidosis. They said that it was just pure luck that I hadn't slipped into a coma and that I was literally on death's door. My BG was almost 600 and my A1C was 13%. I had been drinking 4 gallons of water per day and at the hospital, it took *two weeks* to get my electrolytes back to a safe level, with a constant phosphate/potassium drip *and* pills together. They sent me home with instructions to take 110 units of insulin per day. Long acting morning and night (40 each) and 10 each meal. They did not offer me much hope of doing anything except "getting it under control".
Well, I got home on November 2nd, completely nervous and unsure about how to do things right and screwing things up. I bought the Mayo Clinic's tome on diabetes and then plowed into youtube videos. Though I watched m any, yours specifically were the ones that made me feel more sure of myself. Made me feel that it wasn't the end of the line, that I could do this, and armed me with tools, knowledge, and confidence.
I never took any insulin, despite my prescription, because I took immediate action with my diet and the help of my CGM. Well, today (February 14th), I got my A1C test back. It was **5.4%**. I went form 13% and on death's door with 5 shots of insulin per day to 5.4% and no insulin (also no diabetic pills or anything of the sort whatsoever) in 100 days.
My primary care physician and nurses could not believe it. They've even recruited me to offer my advice for some other patients they're dealing with as to how I was able to talk such a monumental task *SO FAST*. I just told them: Mayo Clinic book for fundamentals and knowledge. Type One Talks on YT for confidence-building, CGM usage/hacks/food tips, and stick to your CGM. If my CGM reads too high, I just don't eat yet. I wait until it's better. I went from it always being near 200 after the hospital visit to now, where even after I eat a meal, it rarely goes above 120 or so.
I could not have done this without your channel and your friendly, positive attitude. I can not thank you enough for what you do. You have given more knowledge and help than my own doctors could or have. And your continued content will help me keep this up for the long haul.
Thank you, brother. A million times over -- thank you!
So thankful to read this. God Bless you. So happy that you pushed through and that you’ve made it and are still here to tell your story. I am new here and I have T2D I also am new to the cgms. Here in like 2 days I change my cgm for the 3rd time and they are 14 day uses. I’ve fought this diabetes I’ve dieted well no diet isn’t the right word. I’ve always eaten healthier than most but I’ve even changed that up some again. I drink enough water to float a battleship. I go through about idk a case every 3-5 days I also try to drink some hot tea I drink coffee in mornings occasionally I will have a soda pop that’s because glucose drops to low. 50s-60s. Like yesterday the cgm decided to go bonkers couldn’t decide if I was high or low. Ugh. So if I’m able I check with my meter. What types of foods/drinks do you consume? If you don’t mind my asking. I so enjoyed reading your post/message. Thank you again.
This comment made me buy a cgm thank you.
thank you for all the info you give us
Great information. Thanks!
I’m putting this same msg on more than one channel because I have reason to believe that a certain video hosting organization is concealing comments from some of my channels from other viewers:
Brian, your thoughts either very closely or exactly mirror my own but you have a unique and very concise way of putting it all together and articulating it that makes it seem obvious--keep up the fight!!!
YAY! I've been using the Medtronic InPen for a couple of years.
Yes, I love my inpen! It really helps me
Hi Patreon
i really like your videos and posts, because they correspond exactly to my experiences.
I have had td1 since 1990 and am familiar with most insulin pumps and cgm systems. In addition to other diseases i have a severe gastroparesis (the food often takes effect first 30min -1 h. if i am low and up to 4 - 8 h after having eaten FPE).
I wore medtronic 640g for 6 years (+ enlite 2 + 3) and 3 years with dexcom g6, then ypsopump + tslim x2 for several months. I recognized that unfortunately my insulin requirement is too big for patch pumps. Since autumn 2023 i am currently wearing the minimed 780g and i luckily have still some supplies of dexcom G6 sensors in parallel to compare. Up to now Medtronic replaced me 8 units of Guardian 4 because of faulty sensors (measurement deviations up to 6mmol) I think the minimed insulin pumps are really perfect for me and as good as the accu chek Combo pump and (I love both besause ot the haptic feel) But the medtronic sensors are absolutely in need of improvement ( i got often so angry and wanted to throw the crappy things in the garbage (by the way i think Medtronic is the world champion in overpacking unnecessary items). Of course I will give this new simplera sensor the chance to change my opinion positively, but up to now i am somehow pessimistic. If that doesn't help either then i'll join to the loopercommunity and will learn all about xdrip and aaps.
how cute. Thanks for the info
Interesting! My family aren’t keen on insulin pumps and still used pens. This could be a game changer.
I was in the original US Dexcom trials and later in the original Medtronic CGM trials. Dexcom really won me over with how simple it is and it provided more accurate blood glucose levels. Medtronic really had the market on durable insulin pumps. I used a Tandem briefly in 2017, and when it stopped working once while shoveling snow and then completely died 6 months later, even though I was issued a replacement I didn’t trust it - additionally I hated the reservoir and syringe set up, so I went back to my previous Medtronic pump. That one lived a few years longer and then died when I drove for 8 hours in the summer with a car that had no air conditioning. It happened to be at the end of my 4 year warranty for the Tandem. So, I got a Medtronic 780g. The instructions for the CGM were so confusing, I never used it and got a prescription for Dexcom. Thank you for reviewing this new CGM. After all these years, whey does Medtronic insist upon reinventing the wheel - that Dexcom already perfected?
Hey everyone! I’ve been recently diagnosed with diabetes type 1 and finding this channel is a life saver. I didn’t know so many were experiencing this disease and to find a community makes me feel a lot more comfortable. Thanks so much. You just earned a sub
It's not a disease
@@PedroskiClimb my bad
It is classified as an autoimmune disease so no worries!
Welcome to the T1 “club”!
I’ve had this for 30 years now & still going strong…🎉
This sounds very cool!
Whenever you get the chance, could you please do a video on the new Dexcom One+ Sensor? I think that it would be great to know more about this CGM.
This is genuinely exciting news - the more cgms on the market, the better. Though the 7 days lifetime is a shame for this one so far compared to the other systems available. The smart pen is a novel idea and I do hope it gets picked up by other manufacturers, too - as someone on MDI who doesn't want to use a pump, it'd be cool to see more such devices. It'd be interesting to see how this CGM continues to develop. I myself got a sibionics recently after watching your video and it's honestly made me wonder how I managed to live for 8 years with manual testing. So yay for cgms in all shapes and sizes!
Honestly, I'm entirely fine with my Libre 3 -- if they could just get the prices down to something a patient could pay out of pocket for and not go broke, it'd be a dream. Thanks to my CGM, I got myself form 13% AC! to 5.4% in 90 days. Unfortunately, it is likely that medicare may stop covering it, because . . . I do longer need insulin . . . because the CGM has been helping me. . . . so they're going to take it away. *sigh*. Though, in the long term, I have great hopes for them improving a device like this that will start to perform more work. Maybe a consolidated device that can provide glucose monitoring, arythmia/afib notifications, and many other things. How damn cool would that be?!?! A little thing you pop onto your skin for a couple weeks, track tons of health related things to give you data/guidance... The sky's the limit on the potential! :)
Thanks!
Thank you!
I like the holder for your meter and test strips! Where is that from?
Looking forward to see if you talk about the upcoming Nia pumps. They seem promising.
The crappiness of the CGM sensors was one of the main reasons I switched from Medtronic insulin pumps to Tandem with the Dexcom (G6) CGM. Not only was the Minimed sensors complicated to insert and secure, but also, I got horrible readings from them. I'm curious about the smart pen. When I was on MDI, I used both long lasting insulin and fast. How does the pen track both, or does it just track the fast?
Have you ever tried Cascade CGM system? it's by a company called waveform, it's CE approved but not available in the USA for some reason, the sensor is rechargeable for up to a year
Thank you a lot for your video’s. They have been helping me a lot since my T1D diagnosis 8 weeks ago. Currently put on the Libre and MDI, not ready yet to get a pump. I would be interested in your experience and opinion of using the Simplera and the InPen combined.
Bit of advice, focus on keeping your insulin resistance in check so you can keep your blood sugar stable.
Thank you for the advise! Getting into it right now.
I know people are a bit sad about the 7 day period but as I'm pretty allergic to adhesives and can't wear the free style libre for more than 7 days (once I managed 10 days by using super glue... Not recommended) before my blisters/rashes burst and the puss forces the sensor off, I kinda like the shorter time period
Have you tried 3M Cavilon 3346E or something else?
👀Thanks 🍓
Hi.. very nice video! cna you also review this CGM fro Sinocare the iCan i3 CGM. thank you!
For a 780g user, it’s a big improvement. But as for the competitors, its seems behind.
Interesting, seems no matter what CGM Medtronic has on the market some of them randomly fail after a short 3-4 days. Hopefully that can be resolved at some point. I am using the 780g pump so having closed loop is a life saver for me.
Currently using the guardian 4 and it’s malfunctioning like nobody’s business - I had five (5) sensors die on me and Medtronic already warrantied the transmitter after five months of use. Medtronic is super helpful but that kind of failure rate is unacceptable.
The smartguard and 780G are perfect but I hope the Instinct version of this new sensor will be better than their current one 🤞
I’d like more info about the Simplera and In Pen, especially the pen does not go through Medicare RX insurance but regular Medicare along with the CGM
What are your thoughts on Sens? The implantable Censor?
is the distance from the phone to the sensor the same as the G7, 20 feet? that's a pain for me I need to carry my phone everywhere, the G6 was a little better 30 feet
you kind of touched on it but not a lot of detail, so how does this inpen work do you stick your insulin pen inside the inpen?
What pump are you currently using?
When will it work with the pump
So when will it be available to the market
Have you tried eversens? What's your opinion?
It's about time that Medtronic catch up the game. My biggest disappointment with all other CGM is that they don't connect with a pump directly. As fo0r the 7 days duration of the sensor, this is not a technological limitation. This has to do with medical authorities giving licences according to test data. For example, the Libre is approved for 12 days in some countries, while in others it's 14 days.
After a start period, I'm certain Medtronic will gather more live data and make representations to increase the approved duration.
I am excited about this CGM from Medtronic, but like every new innovative advancement I will not hold my breath for it's release in USA. Do you know if it will be compatible with pumps or will it be solely used for apps. It is past time for them to release this innovation, especially since the other guys have been doing it for a few years already.
You said the the sensor failed and I've had this issue with two sensors but when it happened the third time I decided to try to turn the app completely off and start it again and then it connected to the sensor without any problems - so I suspect the problem is in the app and not the sensor - so it's basically the old and simple method of turning it off and on again.
I had one of the first Medtronic closed loop pumps in the UK.... I could see the potential... but all the calibrating and operating parameters just didn't work for my gastroparesis affected blood glucose levels! ....it thought it was broken all the time 🤦🏻♀️ I'm pretty done with pumps, I've had enough of having things "attached" to me. In fairness, I've had a feeding tube and and a fair amount of in patient treatment over the years... so not just down to the pumps.
I use the Libre 3 now... impressed by the accuracy, and my bloods can fluctuate wildly. I was initially skeptical.. but the size and accuracy swung me. I haven't heard anything that would convince me to swap. The Libre 2 worked with my Echo Smart Pen, so I'm not that impressed by the Inpen... big deal 🤷🏻♀️ The Libre 3 doesn't scan the Echo Pen for some reason, but honestly, to me, I didn't find that particularly impressive anyway. I would prefer them to work on improving the Libre 3 app.... it's painfully slow and irritates the crap out of me! 😂
When CGMs are price-competitive with aggressive manual monitoring (which I think is achievable today, but we are no doubt waiting for patents to expire), it could be a huge health boon for both T2 and non-diabetics wanting to customize their diet to avoid foods that spike their glucose.
In the meantime, this, like the free blood pressure meters available to many at risk of hypertension, should be freely available for, say, one year out of five for anyone who wants one as part of a more aggressive health management/disease prevention plan. Ideally, the apps would allow for entry of foods and portions/times eaten to create a comprehensive, custom risk/benefit dietary analysis. I'm almost certain it would save far more than even the current cost of CGM. (And genomic evidence of significant risk of diabetes should automatically qualify for that type of monitoring.)
What is the price of this & does the cost compare with others?
How much does it cost in the USA per month? (with/without Insurance)
Does underarm deodorant affect glucose readings? Thanks in advance.
Thanks so much! I’m using the Medtronic 780g with their clunky sensor and loving the closed loop. I have the InPen but gave it up for the brick. I’m from Minnesota, home of Medtronic, and have sent sternly worded messages about their RIDICULOUS app, which is an embarrassment to all midwesterners. Hoping this is a glimpse of them coming full into the future. ❤
yeah im on the 780g with their guardian 4 as well. the pump is good, the sensor... not so much. i dont know about you, but mine only lasts the full 7 days 2/3 of the time, and the warm ups for me tend to take 3hrs+!! dont even get me started on how much i hate sensor change day! its so much effort
The guardian sensor shouldn't be on the market, because it's not good enough to be used in 2024. The simplera, is not as good as the other CGM on the market since 202X. The 780G pump is a pain in my A!!ss too (just got another alert, have to change the injection site.. now). Don't try Medtronic diabetes stuff, think bigger.
At least the device has some way of muting the high and low alarms, its really annoying on the lib 2, I switch it off and then forget to turn it on again later. Pity the lib 2 couldn't be paused for 30 mins or so.
The real question is will this sensor work with the 780G or will it need a different pump, as it isn't so easy as just telling your insurance you want a new pump unless you had yours for 5 years.
Accuracy by MARD for Simplera 10,4 % it is a step back. Libre 3 is 7,2 %, G7 is 8,6 %
Have you tried and reviewed thr sinocare ican CGM? We just received it....Chinese version but there is an English one.....any experience anyone?
1:49 and pray to god that the transmiter fited in perfectly, cuz its not gonna work if the transmiters posisition is correct but not perfectly attached
I didn't completely follow the customizing alarms. My son HATES all the alarms. He often gets 20 or more a day when the dexcom rides a high or low line and just moves back and forth--especially at night. And often when that happens, the dexcom is 15-35 points off so you really don't want to treat it. He had days in a row where it was 100's off and calibration did not fix it long term. Soooooo can you silence the alarms on this cgm and that includes vibrations. We count vibrations as an alarm as well--especially since it wakes you up. I think there needs to also be a do not disturb for driving. Cgm's do not shut up so it is equal to texting and driving when you have to deal with cgm alarms . When it is stuck on a line it can go off every 5-10 minutes as it moves 5 points one way and 5 points back.
Sorry, could you tell me where you bought it?
What about costs?
So it offeres nothing new and is larger and doesnt last as long as any other one. Seems like they are still far behind no real point in going with them. Aside from the pen
But for the Medtronic pump users it seems like even a great improvement, when it gets approved for closed loop, over what they have now. It is not really a good choice when selecting a CGM starting out.
@dwightl5863 ya maybe true, I'm looking at it purely from CGM stand point doesn't seem to offer much and is bulkier. That being said I'm type 2, so there is better options on the market but definitely more limited in the closed loop market
Everything that can be sold is good. Every new product is good. Everything that happens is good.
Means there is competition and the leaders right now should watch out ...
Maybe it's more hackable than others...
Otherwise it covers a narrow slice of the market.
2:41 "guardian 4" *shows the guardian 3*
Thank you but I'll stick with the FreeStyle Libre 3. 😎
We need a CGM to talk to an Insulin Pump.
Kako dexom 7 restart 2x ???
No warmup is super cool. If they bring it up to 14 days and add WearOS and Android Auto app integration, I'll happily ditch my Freestyle Libre for this. Don't even care that the app looks like it's unfinished.
Cost please
Still looking for a cgm for those with muscle atrophy 😢
Conventional is either too painful with the tube, falls out or gives false readings due to not being in muscle
It's not supposed to be in muscle. It's supposed to be just below skin in fat.
Medtroic made me go back to shots. After a huge investment into their pump and cgm. I run from everything they touch
Where could I find a holder like your one touch? Ty
They come with some of the one touch meters! I have 2 that came with them and two that didn’t (totally different generations of meters, I can’t remember which ones had which)
Thank you!
why was my post removed?
The Guardians are terrible actually. But the Simplera doesn't work with the 780g pump yet. From what I was just told. Medtronic is still way behind. I've been pumping for 20yrs with Medtronic. I have used the Dexcom's as well. Thanks for showing how to overlap the sensors. Who says that you can't teach sn old dog new tricks!
is this machine will puncture our muscles or just stick outer skin only ? is it painfull ?
It shouldn't, that's why it should be applied in a specific area. Yet that can all depend on how little fat someone has or how thin they are but alot of people use them with little issues. Usually no pain with application
thankyou so much for your quick reply.,. thanks for your all videos very very informative and usefull@@LukeRT
One has no choice as to how far into the skin the sensor goes. Same for all external CGM's. The Eversense sensor being the exception. A healthcare professional inserts that sensor.
how come you are not placing it on your chest to have the best reading?
Is there anybody working on providing an A1C reading with the CGM?
Libre 3 estimates it but it is not an actual test
Dexcom G7 has it as well in the App.
The AIDEX CGM has a full set of reports on the actual app including current HbA1c and MBG (moving blood glucose)
Time in range and the best is you can specify the time periods for the measurements. It is the best and most accurate I have come across so far. Besides that it is the most accurate BG readings I have found as well. Unfortunately my post has been removed. Not sure why?
Libre 2 does show average over time up to 90 days and you can use a a1c calculator for the reading available by googling it, just enter the average, there is a specific formula used in the calculator, its easy
These sensors are so expensive. 7 days is a definite no. The Libre 2 last 14 days, is much smaller, and only an hr wait time, plus you can pair it with a separate reader vs a phone. However, the Medtronic insulin pen sounds promising they need to go back to the drawing board on the other issues.
Today I was wondering what happened to simplera 😅 well the Middle East alway get the updates after Europe
I heard about this CGM last year from Medtronic representatives, and I was not impressed. Especially because it was still over a year away here in Canada (probably 1 more year to go). It is an upgrade for Medtronic, but that upgrade is only catching up to everyone else, and barely. Not really impressed at all.
Freeze the video when the chart compares the cgm results. Note the Simplera is closest to the BG test meter results. Appears to be the most accurate.
@@franklingarey9877 A sensor's accuracy is based on MARD, not what is closest to a random BG test meter. How do I know his meter is accurate? This video is more about his experience with it and not scientific. I don't think 2 hrs for warm up & 7-day lifespan for the sensor is keeping up with today's sensors.
Hello everyone
Dose anyone do the stem cells operation for diabetes type 1
Am reading to much about it , and still scared so i need someone who try it
I like the 7 days…. If it’s cheaper … after 10 days the other ones start to irritate and itch
I would like to watch the video unfortunately I can’t due to all the writing on the screen so I can’t see how it works!! 🤷🏻♀️
👍🏻
How can I buy a CGM without going through a doctor?
I still use the old Medtronic Guardian sensor. The application is a pain in the ass, without my wife I won't be able to do it. Also the pairing process, it's so bad, we have to remove the transmitter a few times because the app doesn't recognize it, sometimes restart the phone repair the transmitter in order to make it work. You need to calibrate them 2 times a day, but on the day of insertion, you have to do it 4 times, in every 6 hours. This means you can't sleep more than 6 hours that day because you have to wake up and check your glucose, otherwise the app just won't show any data. They are also slow, reads in every 5 minutes only, compared to freestyle libre 3 one minute. One positive thing with the software is that you can personalize your alerts and it has an alert if your glucose is going up or down very abruptly, the helped me a lot to prevent hypos or high glucoses and I missed when I used the freestyle libre 3 software. Compared to the freestyle software a feature what I like and I'm used to it, is that you can't mute the alerts for more than 3 hours (you can turn of for the night most of them), with the freestyle sometimes I forgot to check my glucose and tuned out after 2 hours my glucose still was high.
Try the AIDEX CGM. 14 day period, most accurate of the CGMs I have found. I am an ex Guardian 3 and 4 user.
👍🏿
The manual for the CGM specifically states in can be up to 40% off. Its a quack medical device!!!!!
Ohh, new Medtronic sensor. Maybe this will have 4-6 days of accuracy.
Game Changer is a word that is over used way too much.
The Inpen is expensive, so it makes me wonder how expensive this cgm is if they give you an Inpen for free. It doesn’t really matter for me here in Australia because we still don’t have the Freestyle Libre 3. So this cgm will take years, if ever, to be approved here. Even then it’s unlikely to be subsidised like the FL 2 or dexcom g6. Healthcare device applications are lengthy and expensive. The companies have to weigh up if it’s worth it for a total population of only 26.6 million.
I waited until they release Simplera so i don't need to use Guardians
T2D here on Jardiance, Pio, Met and Sita.
The 1 week (or less) lifespan is a nonstarter. But the Libre 3 is not accurate. It always reads 10 to 30 mg/dL higher than the finger sticks, always. And the larger sensor for the Simpler than Libre 3 is a negative.
Meh, I'll stick with the Freestyle Libre 3. Its tiny and doesn't get in the way. Accuracy, for me, matches blood tests. Their insertion method looks like a direct copy of the Libre device..surprised there isn't a patent issue.
Woaaah a freestyle libre copy but bigger and less accurate 😂😂😂
I have pump and guardian4 this is shitty installation long warmup long wait to charge it
So....nothing crazy new . 😢
Wish i could have fsl3 and my 780
Why are you looking under the camera, and not a me?
If Matt Damon and Jerry Rig Everything morphed
7 days = useless. Even putting costs aside, just having to reapply it is a big hassle (esp. with all CGMs being wonky first day or two). Not to mention excessive packaging, and having to pack multiple of these for longer travels.
With a bunch of cheap Chinese CGMs that work perfectly for 14/15/24… days, not sure whats the point in this.
Pen sounds fun. Would be nice to get to use it independently with xdrip or something.
For type 2, it is a total failure. Big and bulky compared to Libre 3, does not Last near as long (only 10 days instead of 14), and app does not work as well. The pen seems like a great idea but that is only needed for type 1.
Medtronic is falling behind because Medtronic knows that the CGM market is a billion dollar industry and they want to own the CGM and only have there pumps work with there CGM brand only. Yet Medtronic is left behind. If Medtronic could buy out Dexcom, that would use their technology then close the company. For me I will be with Dexcom
These cgm are not accurate. Good for trends but not accuracy. Still doing finger sticks.
This is no better than the Libre 2. In fact it's worse than the Libre 2. Libre 2 has 14 days wear. It has 60 minutes warm up time. Libre 2 has alarms, and lots of data, including my A1c estimates time in range etc etc. Also it updates every MINUTE not every 5 mins which makes the Simpa not a full CGM but a flash glucose sensor. I have only ever had one failure of the Libre 2 in 3 years. That simply was that it fell off at day 7. Normally I keep an eye on the sensor and if it looks like coming a bit unstuck, I slap on some hypafix to keep it on. This time I missed it. Also I NEVER wear it on the back of my arm. For the simple reason that if it is coming unstuck, I won't see it and I may lose it. If it's on the front of my arm where I always wear it, I spot it immediately. For me the Libre has always been spot on in comparison with a finger stick glucose test. It's never been off. I don't see any reason to use this new sensor above my Libre 2 which I am very happy with.
Cool stuff, but lemme guess : This shit is only for rich people and not poor unemployed slobs like me, right?
I am so offended by all these clickbait titles I purposely won’t watch. Even if the content be worth it.
If all people would eat keto/carnivore there would be no T2. But where is profit there.
I stopped watching once you said it's good for only 7 days. It's a deal breaker. Why are you even talking about this product?
Thanks!
Thank you for you support!
