    Medtronic Simplera Sync sensors not available to order

    I read that Simplera becomes available to order in the US Monday. I’m in the US. I want to try it. The Medtronic website that shows how to update the 780 from the Guardian cgm to Simplera cgm seems straightforward. I just want to make sure all Medtronic 780s can switch to accommodate Simplera.

    Type 1: What are your HbA1c test results?

    I’m in US and for my health insurance to cover my insulin pump supplies they require doctor visit, including notes and a1c every 3 months. My endocrinologist is booked up a year in advance so it’s a struggle. I get the blood work done at my primary doctor’s office when I can. My latest a1c...

    Medtronic 780g with simplera sync

    It must be a quality control thing. I had great accuracy for 4 days…..then bam! Sensor Updating……out of no where! BG had been 111. I let it update for several hours….I knew that Notification was the kiss of death for that sensor. It was…..after 3 hours it said Change Sensor. I wonder if...

    Medtronic 780g with simplera sync

    I had my hopes up for Simplera. I had read good things. I’weary of my Medtronic 780 with G4 going out after 4-5 days repeatedly! I never get 7 days anymore. I’m not the problem. It’s not coming loose. It’s not due to wonky BG numbers. It just happens every week now. I’m beyond disgusted...

    Diabetes Burnout.

    Self care can be a lot of work and require a lot of energy. I’ve managed type 1 for over 24 years and feel fortunate I’m still pretty healthy and vital. I realize everyone is busy, but have you considered a weekend get-a-way or retreat? I realize that might not be feasible for everyone. I...

    T2 on insulin getting lows in the night

    I had to convert those numbers, but isn’t 5.8 the same as 105 in American numbers? Is that considered hypo? For me, and I’m type 1, that’s a great number and I wouldn’t consider it low. What numbers has your doctor recommended for you?

    Introduce Yourself: Answer Some Personal Questions

    Hey Jamanuel and Allan, I‘m a bit of a nutritional fan, but I’m type 1 not 2. So may not be the best person on diet for type 2’s. I take insulin by pump, so cover my carbs that way.

    Introduce Yourself: Answer Some Personal Questions

    Good luck with your pump. I think you’ll like it. I started pump treatment over 5 years ago and love it. My BG management greatly improved. I’m about 25 years type 1 as well. I’ll look forward to seeing your posts.

    Treatment induced diabetic neuropathy???

    Well….time passed and according to my ENT, post covid syndrome takes time to resolve. It could be from post covid. Because at the same time I got foot paresthesia, hand numbness at night, hair loss, chronic congestion, etc, I also had smell/taste disorder. Lost my sense of smell….failed a...

    Treatment induced diabetic neuropathy???

    I’m still not sure what caused my paraesthesia in my feet. One Neurologist said not neuropathy, one said it was likely B12 deficiency. Or, possibly post covid syndrome. Anyway, after getting B12 injections and reducing my BG substantially, the numbness in my feet has drastically reduced. Now...
