Excellent video I've been on the 780g for just under a year now and the only negative is the hassle with setting up the G4 sensors these new ones look so much easier hopefully get changed over when they come to the UK 🤞
I've been with Medtronic for 20yrs and the Sensor 4 has me looking to change pump companies. I was just told that the Simplera doesn't work with the 780g yet. Medtronic has been doing a lot of fibbing now!! Another thing is how can Europe already have it approved, yet in America we're last!! The alarm system will drive you crazy!!
I love the aesthetics of this CGM lol...apparently that's the point I'm at in my CGM opinions heh. But, I have bad memories of the original CGM I was on the Medtronic 530g before switching to Tandem/Dexcom G5 years ago. The Medtronic Enlight was a freakin' harpoon of a device that required like 12 layers of tape to stay down.
Great video. Thanks for the update. Been watching it making its way through the pipeline. Look forward to it coming to the US. The 780G and G4 is a wonderful pump/CGM setup and so are the extended wear infusion sets. Life has become easy and frustration free over the past few years and the Simplera will make it even better. Look forward to hearing more about the 890 in the future also.
Hey Justin! Great video as always (flip hair emoji), I have now been given a cgm which is the Freestyle Libre 2. My dietician said that I needed it because I have long and short-acting insulin. My dietician was originally going to give me the cgm when I first got the long-acting insulin. She felt I would be a bit too anxious and obsessive with it, but surprisingly, I only look at it before breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert and before falling asleep. Which is what the dietician recommended that I would do. As I have seen I completely understand in your videos, how anyone would be around it all the time. But the one bit of advice that has helped me is, "If you want a good result, why look at it every second? Because it's slow and would make anyone feel anxious, so if you want that good result, give it time to get to where you want it to be and why watch paint dry." lol
Well said!! Welcome to CGM life :)
I’ve been T1D for 45 years now and I have lived through all the changes, gone into battle with T1D and come out without any diabetic complications or issues. I used Medtronic for many, many years until I let a young and inexperienced DE talk me into Tandem and Dexcom. Great for some, but it was an absolute nightmare for me. In Australia we have to have private health insurance to receive a new pump every four years ie out of warranty and I’ve gone back to Medtronic. I have had 2 weeks at 100% TIR and the other weeks in the 90’s. I really wish that you had asked the Medtronic spokesperson when the new CGM is bound for Australia. Do you think that you could remember next time you have these opportunities to include Australia in the conversation please. 😊
They told me that Simplera was approved and going to Australia! Simplera Sync, not yet. More info soon.
Thanks for sharing :)
That is great news. I am 40 year T1D here near Sydney, Australia and am finally going on 780G with G4. My brother in USA is on 780G with G3. But when I saw this video I was also wondering how long it will be until we receive access to the Simplera Sync, and then how long before it gets approved for use in National Diabetic Services Scheme (Australia Gov't) NDSS?
Thanks for posting this video, this is tremendous new info. on what looks to be a very user-friendly, less intruding, more comfortable infusion set. I think they said it can be changed in around 10 seconds? That is wonderful! Thank you!
@@diabe_techyes please always include Australia in your question because there is many many people with t1 that got dx recently especially toddlers. My son is only 2 and has been dx since 7 months. We use 780G but the sensor is a NIGHTMARE SERIOUSLY! how come Medtronic they are so behind the concurrences. It’s a shame
What a expert at dodging
I have the 780g and insurance doesn't want to pay I'm fighting with them trying to see what they will help with
👀 florenceee! You are really out here, so proud of you 🤩💓 cannot wait to see what comes next
90% of my censors that have fallen off is on the back of the arm. I find it funny that they say back of the arm is the best place. Never has been for me.
Could you please tell us when it’s going to be available in Australia ?
Add several thousand likes Please 🎉
Awesome 😎
I have scar tissue on back of my arms from 3.5 years of using Guardian 3/4 sensor. Will this be any different or same needle size?
I'm currently on the Medtronic 780g. But, I'm thinking seriously of switching to Beta Bionics iLet pump once it becomes available in Finland.
Why not ypsomed?
The 1.8mL capacity of the iLet Cartridge makes me wish all manufacturers could agree on specification standards most beneficial to the widest variety of users. Or offer two device classes for users with different needs (1.8mL and 3.0mL). Having user replaceable batteries (instead of internal, hard-wired rechargeable batteries that eventually lose capacity) would also be preferred.
Nice video, thanks a lot! Sorry in advance for my very "nerd" comment: I'm using Guardian-4 sensor, no insulin pump, I have an Android Phone supporting Medronic App (Guardian) and everything is working very well (finally): I did not get if Simplera + IN-Pen system supports Android and if yes, what about android Smartwatch integration?Now I can only see notification on my Android smartwatch with Guardian, I'd like to see one day also blood sugar level on my smartwatch.
I’m currently on an Omnipod dash and dexcom g6 (without DIY) and have an option to go for Medtronic 780g with guardian 3/4.
I do not want to change my setup to 780g due to Guardian poor performance, low accuracy and calibration requirements… Am I wrong?
Could be worth waiting out for Simplera Sync and deciding then? Maybe they will have a trial you can do.
@@diabe_tech I thought the same. For time being will look into DIY solutions. I got a little unsure of IAPS after your previous interview on the topic… What option would be the best for first-timer to start getting into a DIY?
I’m on guardian 4, started with it after using Dexcom G7 and Libre 3, and I used the guardian 2 and 3 in the past. The constant need for calibration of the old guardian sensors is gone. Thank God. Those things drove me nuts. The accuracy hasn’t been an issue for me, I don’t expect any CGM to be spot on. My biggest gripe is the large form factor of the guardian transmitter. Hopefully Medtronic can figure their stuff out and catch up with the other CGMs on the market
I just started on the Omnipod 5 / Dexcom G6 last week after 6 years on the 670G. I have heard Medtronic’s newer systems are better, but I’m so so glad I switched. I was scared of the calibration situation. I’m finally sleeping through the night without alerts. Hallelujah!!! And no tubing. It’s was a long 6 years. Hope Medtronic gets much better and it doesn’t take years for this to be available in America
I guess we won't be able to extend this sensor (beyond the 7 allowed days).
Great concept, but we will be waiting forever in the US for this to be approved and released. Medtronic is the best in my experience, I am just so tired of waiting on their releases. Very frustrating.
I think it will be here sooner than we think. Will keep you posted of course :)
@@diabe_techany hints on when the Simplera will be available to order for US based 780g users? 👀👀👀
About time...must have gotten tired if people screaming at them to change their stupid sensors..
I am Australian and have had type one diabetes for 63 years. A few complications, the main being eyes. I'm fairly fit and healthy. I received a 780G recently, under the promise that by June, the Simplera would be available. Now Diabetes Victoria informed me that it will be next year in Australia. Evidently it's a Government decision. They were reticent to comment fully. Compared to other glucose monitoring systems, the G4 is a nightmare. And in Australia, Medtronic's instructs only to insert the device in the back of one's arms, or the rear buttocks. Which is impossible to do if one is by oneself.
Arms were suggested to me as well, but I use my abdomen and it works really well for me, even by oneself. I do some additional taping invented by me over the years (as the design is the same for years). I admit it's a hassle compared to competition but that way it works fine. And the accuracy is also quite ok, which wasn't the case for previous versions. No problems there.
Is this compatible with android cell phones?
Yes!
I just tried today to update my 770 pump to the 780 using my Samsung Galaxy S20. Medtronic does NOT support this phone. So once again, Medtronic lags way behind.
7 days but it fits with 7 days of the pump
MEDTRONIC is such a big company (enormous budgets etc) and yet they are few years behind competition 🤭 NEW, BEST Simplera is much worse even than old FSL2… 😂
Making stock prices go up is not based on innovation. It is based on scamming people with cutting costs with awful costumer service, billing “mistakes”, and cutting corners with sub-par quality control. Sound familiar?
Increasing stock prices relies on cutting corners and cutting costs in things like customer service, r&d and quality control-to name a few.
Whilst it would be amazing to have somthing of similar size to L3 my daughter cannot wait until simplera sync is available with her 780g. She is really struggling with the gaurdian sensor especially as before she was used to being a hit more independent inserting her libre quickly and easily herself. Also being an active child the gaurdian is so much more bulky and more likely to get knocked off.
@@25ween Be sure to secure the transmitter additionally with some very flexible tape - I use kinesiology tape for this. It really helps with knocking off the sensor.
And it doesn't work with the 780g yet! Medtronic is getting so depressing and I've been with them for 20yrs.
It's not the size of a quarter.
Yea I agree. It’s a bit wider and thicker. Prob thickness of two quarters, slightly more surface area and more square. Help me come up with a better comparison!
@@diabe_tech Maybe a Kennedy half dollar...
Maybe smaller than a matchbook??😂
I find Medtronic, is like Apple. They want to keep everyone tied to their eco system... Unlike most other pump companies work with other CGM manufactures to use the best products out their to enhance and advance their own products. Medtronic sensors are 10+ years behind in function, reliably, insertion, and cosmetics to what is currently available.
I went on a ketogenic diet. I got off all my meds, jardiance, ozempic and lantus in just six weeks. That was over a year ago. A1c average has been 5.3. My endocrinologist discharged me from his care. Oh, I'm 77 years old and had T2D for 25 years. Go KETO everyone!
Medtronic is not a good pump company so video's like this are fast forward for me. Sorry but love all your other videos.
how long for the US!!!!! This Harpon is worthless
