Episode Description from the Publisher

MiniMed Flex is finally here, and early users are beginning to share what life with the new insulin pump is really like. Our guests discuss using the system, the transition from previous pumps, what surprised them most, and how the smaller, app-controlled pump has impacted their day-to-day. The conversation also explores MiniMed's Meal Detection technology, how the algorithm handles missed or underestimated boluses, and what users would still like to see improved. Plus, stay until the end for a brand-new post-show discussion comparing the Flex to other insulin pump options and sharing the team's candid first impressions.   Learn about the Eversense 365 CGM   Learn about Omnipod 5 (today's sponsor)*   T1D Exchange Registry   MiniMed Interview with CTO   Waterproof Connection Data    Join the Diabetech Newsletter   Follow Diabetech: Instagram | Tik Tok | YouTube | Facebook | Threads   DISCLAIMER: This podcast is not medical advice and is for educational purposes only.
