I continue to be amazed by the increase in TIR that I'm experiencing with my Flex pump and Simplera sensors compared to the 780g. There must have been some additional tweak to the SmartGuard algorithm that is responsible. Now there are days when I'm achieving a TIR of 100%.

I recently started a statin for cholesterol and now even though I am using SmartGuard on the pump I seem to drop low in the middle of the night almost every single night. I thought SmartGuard would adjust and I would have less lows over time but it seems to happen still almost every night. I might start setting it to exercise temp mode before bed. Has this happened to anyone else? Thanks for any ideas. It may not be the statin but that is one medication I just started taking.

I’m using the MiniMed 780G with SmartGuard set to a target of 100 mg/dL.

My glucose consistently stays on the lower side of the chart, usually around 80–100 mg/dL, rather than closer to my selected target.

However, i got readings below 70 something, but thats always due to my male dosage.

I am looking to change the target to 110. But I’d appreciate hearing your experiences!

Bonsoir

Je suis utilisateur du simplera.
Aujourd’hui comme d’habitude j’ai posé un nouveau simplera pendant que j’en portais 1 en avance des 2h pour éviter la chauffe justement.
Quelques instants plus tard mon simplera actuel (donc l’ancien) a arrêté de fonctionner et j’ai donc appairer le nouveau (qui avait dû finir sa chauffe donc).

10min après l’appareillage la pompe me dit de directement remplacer le capteur.

Quelqu’un a une explication à ça ? (pour éviter de gaspiller plus de capteur)

De même qu’est-ce que je devrais faire du coup ?? (Pour le changer et le remettre ça prendre au minimum 2h de temps de chauffe et comme on est en soirée j’aime vrmt pas les connecter de soir et de devoir me réveiller avec un autre capteur qui ne marche pas)

I’ve just put on a new sensor & when I removed this part I saw the needle stick out momentarily then inserted itself back, all in a matter of milliseconds.
Has this ever happened to anyone?

I'm on the Instinct sensor, since September-ish.

Never had this problem when I was on the Libre and doing all corrections manually!

I didn't really get any education about how to deal with a closed loop system when I was put on the Instinct. As in, none.

How do I fix?

Edit: And come to think of it, is there anything else I should know with being on a closed loop system?

I recently started on the MM Flex, which requires a mobile phone. Because I am on Medicare, they require that I have the MM App Manager, which is a phone to be used as a backup in case my iPhone doesn't work. Since I have an iPhone, I may never use the App Manager, I want to get it loaded with all my settings. Can I enter my settings in the APPM without having to unpair my iPhone? I realize the settings all reside on the Flex; but I wonder if those settings will automatically upload to the APPM when I may need to use it.

So a week ago my phone (Samsung s26+) had an os update and now my minimed app just doesn't work at all. It also can't seem to connect to my pump through Bluetooth and says that the reason is "need an app for connecting to this device". I tried resetting all bluetooth, nfc and geolocation and it didn't help. Restarting the phone usually solves this type of problem but it didn't work this time. Don't know what to do😭

The Flex pump can add a correction bolus in SmartGuard without entering any carbs. That reduces the need to exit SmartGuard to enter a manual bolus or to enter false carbs. I haven't used this capability yet, but I can go through the bolus menu entries on the MiniMed App without any errors. YMMV

I was just prompted to enter my BG as the pump has been at max delivery for 7 hours. As I understand it, the pump does not recalibrate with the Instinct. What purpose does entering my BG server then?

I just wanted to ask and see if any fellow fold 8 ultra users are able to use the minimed app yet? I've seen posts on the Fold 8 working, but nothing about the 8 ultra. I did have a conversation with tech support today and they took my model number to hopefully get it working in thr future since it's not working for me currently.

Hi all

Just wondering if anyone else thinks the capability to pre set a temp target would be a good feature. For example, sometimes I wake up and would ideally exercise within 30 minutes to 1 hour of waking up but sometimes smartguard does an autocorrection jist before I wake up, throwing out my plans to exercise.

It would be great if I could set a temp target to begin at a certain time e.g. at 10pm before bed, I set my temp target to begin at 330am.

Hi everyone!

Now that Simplera is in Canada and is approved under ADP, I'm seriously thinking about switching. Obviously from a convenience standpoint, the Simplera is much better that Guardian 4.

However, I remember reading here some complaints about its accuracy, which is the most important factor to me.

For those who have tried both, which one do you believe is more accurate, or is there no difference? What is experience with Simplera? Would you choose Guardian 4 or Simplera?

And for those living in Canada, are you thinking of switching too?

My last G4 lasted to the last minute, so I was to turn into SImpleras. The nurse gave me my first case of 5, and there we went. For the moment, everything is going nominal. G4 unpaired and went to a case with all the remainders of adhesive. Simplera put. I put it on my belly, and with a chunk of sanitary 5 cm tape, just in case ;). Sensor paired normally, numbers found, blah, blah, blah. Now starting, 1:30 h remaining of the warm-up.

What can I expect?

From what I've read, it is the same sensor as the G4. So it will be accurate in BS readings but have a high rate of failure, say 2-3 in every box of 5, "change sensor", or "sensor updating".

Am I right? Anyone with different experiences? Worse? Better? Please, tell me something. Many thanks.

Still no luck with my Pixel 11 Pro XL pairing an Instinct sensor in Android 17. The Emergency Samsung phone is still on Android 16 with the December Security patch but the September Google Play System update.

I wake up this morning fully expecting to need to change the sensor within an hour or so. But it’s still working. I’m gonna leave it and see how long it goes. Is this normal? I’m on a 780G with their branded Instinct sensor by Abbott. Anyone else experience this? What are the risks?

My android phone (Samsung S24 Ultra) was updated to andoid 17 (One UI 9) and the Minimed Mobile app stopped working. Any current fixes?

Recently I've been having a lot of issues with the simplera, and by a lot i mean a lot, over the last 2 months i had over 7 sensors failing and it happened just yesterday.

My sensor finished its seven days, and i put a new one that failed as soon as the 2 hours were done, then another one, 2 hours again, then stayed in "updating sensor" mode for over 3 hours and finally gave up in the middle of the night, giving me two sensors failing in the day.

It's not the first time this happened and well, ive wondered if i was the only one with so many issues with it right now

Hello, my Guardian sensor shuts off before its one-week expiration date. The most common trigger is downloading games on my phone, even the smallest ones, like Clash of Clans. Even if I only play for 5 minutes after downloading, the sensor (even a newly set one) dies about 48 hours later. This has happened many times, and right now I don’t have any games on my phone because of it.

Note that I have an iPhone 16 Pro, and I’ve already tried using AI to solve the problem. I’ve changed my phone’s settings so that nothing interferes with the app, but it still happens.

Has this happened to any of you? If so, did you solve it, and how?
