You should also find that using them is less invasive with cannula sites being less affected due to the fewer set changes.

That’s great news. Well done![emoji122]

I’m on iOS 26.6 and it’s working perfectly. Maybe another wild shot - try turning Bluetooth off and then on again in settings.

I’m also on iOS but no problems. Just a wild shot, but have you tried rebooting your phone?

I registered for the Instinct with Minimed a few days ago. I don’t believe the NHS has adopted it yet, but I would imagine they will on a cost saving basis.

What concerns me most about the Instinct is the inability to calibrate it if and when there are variances.

I wanted to share something I’ve only just discovered, in case it helps other MiniMed 780G users. For some time I was confused because my WeCare reports were showing a much lower Time in Range (TIR) percentage than the figures I was seeing in my CareLink/Minimed Mobile Apps and discussing with...

I’ve been using the extended infusion sets for over 2 years and I’ve only ever experienced 1 similar problem, but that was my fault for not securing the connector correctly. The Extended infusion set connector’s physical structure is identical to that of the standard set and I’m not aware of...

Hi Sasha. Just a thought. Does your control improve at all soon after you change your cannula/infusion set and then deteriorate? I know your night and morning control seems good, but I’m just wondering if it could be your cannula site that’s partially restricting insulin absorption.

Unfortunately, I was recently advised by my hospital’s diabetes consultant that I’m low priority for the Simplera, even when it’s back on stream again. This may partly be that the G4’s work well with me. It seems that the NHS in my area will understandably continue to prioritise pregnant and...

Hi Ricky. The standard infusion sets should be changed every three days and the extended sets up to seven days. So if you’re near to the deadline you could change the set then. It’s good to know you’re off to a good start and your control should continue to improve as your pump gets to ‘know’...

That could well be an issue. Also the required software upgrade for Simplera may render the G4’s unusable. It would be worth asking as Medtronic clearly have some obligation here.

I’m surprised Medtronic didn’t offer the previous G[emoji640]’s in lieu of the Simplera as they appear to have a good supply. I would think there should be no NHS approval required with the G[emoji640]’s being presumably cheaper.

Hi Sasha. It does sound like your carb ratios need adjusting. As a quick help to try and lower your present level have you clicked the bottom arrow key when you’re on the Home Screen? It would be interesting to know if it suggests a Bolus adjustment which you could deliver.

It might be possible that an earlier BG test would have been nearer to the Simplera’s [emoji638][emoji637].[emoji637] owing to the time lag. I’m not using the Simplera yet, but if it’s anything like the G[emoji640] the results should soon be more aligned as SmartGuard takes effect.
