The Simplera Sync sensor, FDA-approved on April 18, 2025, is Medtronic’s newest disposable CGM designed for exclusive use with the MiniMed 780G system. The Simplera Sync sensor features a compact, all-in-one applicator designed for a quick, two-step insertion process, with no fingerstick calibration needed. It sends glucose readings every five minutes directly to the MiniMed 780G pump, supporting real-time insulin adjustments, meal detection, and automatic correction dosing.
Each sensor lasts up to six days of wear, with an optional 24-hour grace period, though some users report early failures (day 4-6), especially without overtape. Although the national release is scheduled for fall 2025, we are listing the sensor in advance to help patients explore therapy options ahead of availability.
