Instinct Sensor

[Fairygodmother]

Has anyone tried the Instinct sensor? Just heard about it. Made by Abbott, to be used with the Medtronic 780g.
I was wondering if anyone knew how accurate and reliable the Instinct sensor is?

The Medtronic Diabetes business posted on social media an early preview of a new integrated Abbott sensor for its insulin delivery systems.

It’s unlikely there’s going to be any reliable reviews yet. It has only just been FDA approved at the beginning of September and looks to only be available in the USA as of yet. I’m part of a Facebook group where many people in the USA have the option to switch to either the Simplera or Instinct sensor but shipping dates at the earliest appear to only be October/November.

If you had all your ducks in a row and ordered from Minimed yesterday, 9/22/25, one might have a unit to insert by the end of the week…and be able to report on results next week. I came to this forum for this exact reason knowing it’s too soon for a report, but look forward to hearing about folk’s experiences with the new sensors. G4 users KNOW all the ups and downs of those units and are really looking forward to something better!!

Heck, Medtronic still haven't offered me the upgrade to the Simplera yet!!, let alone something newer
And yes recently I've been having a right fight with the G4's

We in the U.K. are relying on you to let us know what it’s like @hairy
