Medtronic, soon-to-be MiniMed, officially launched its brand-new Instinct CGM in the U.S., a 15-day, no-calibration sensor that pairs seamlessly with the 780G insulin pump. I sit down with Medtronic’s Laura Endres to break down everything. Laura gives us a live demo of the Instinct applicator, explains how it integrates with both the 780G and the upcoming MiniMed Go smart pen platform, and shares why Medtronic partnered with Abbott to bring this sensor to market so quickly. We also get into how Instinct compares to Simplera, why users might choose one over the other, and what the roadmap looks like for next-generation pumps, algorithms, and the upcoming MiniMed spin-off.
