Anyone using 780g with Instinct?

Hi! I’m narrowing things down as my pump warranty expires soon. I’m looking for your experience using the 780g with the new Instinct sensor.

I currently use Tandem x2 with G7. I’m probably either going to stay with Tandem or move back to Minimed.

Thoughts?

I currently use Guardian 4 Sensors with Medtronic 780G. Studying the Instinct sensors and checking with Medicare for coverage. Will advise when I know more.

I just found out my insurance will cover the 780g, but only with the Guardian 4 sensor. I currently use the G7 and I’m not willing to go back to the Guardian 4. I guess I’ll have to stay with Tandem.

That is correct. I have been following the Instinct saga on Reddit and it is not good. Simplera is a single-insert sensor like the G7 and that is replacing the Guardian 4. – I switched to 780G from Tandem in February of last year and have not looked back! I love it and TIR is unmatched.
