MiniMed™ Mobile US

Great with occasional bugs, I really like how it shows the size of the dynamic basal and auto correction bars based on the amount that was given as compared to the new MiniMed app, but it has potential for improvement: 1. There is a fall alert feature on the MiniMed app, which would be extremely useful for the 780G as well. 2. Being able to set the Volume, Sound, and Vibration settings based on the time of day would be extremely useful, currently I have remember to manually turn the sound off to keep it in vibrate mode during the day, and remember to turn the sound back on with maximum volume at night. 3. It would be really useful to be able to scroll back further than 24 hours, by selecting which day I’d like to view - seeing how my sugars were affected previously can be very helpful without having to generate the CareLink reports. 4. Begin able to adjust the time of how long a sensor communication must be lost for in order to get an alert would be a great feature as well, anywhere from 10-60 minutes range. 5. The Apple Watch application doesn’t always show the most recent sensor glucose, even if you open it. If it showed the last time that the value was updated as the new MiniMed app shows, it would make the Apple Watch app a lot more useful. 6. SmartGuard should be able to pull data from CareLink and be able to start much sooner than having to be in manual mode for 48+ hours - as far as I know, the data is already there, why do we have to start fresh if the data is current? 7. It would be really nice to be able to see my sensor glucose along with the trend arrow as a live activity. 8. Having to use the app to start the Instinct sensor is a downside - in my opinion, a huge benefit of the 780G is that you don’t have to rely on your phone. 9. It would be nice if it wasn’t a requirement to be signed in to CareLink to use the app.

Keep trying to log in to have my phone and watch connected and it keeps saying pump pairing lost!! It could use a much needed update/bug fix and this tool is supposed to help manage diabetes easier but it has been doing the complete opposite!! With me being busy all the time, still having to check to recalibrate the sensor is super annoying!! I will try to recalibrate it and sometimes it works but 90% of the time it tells me to insert a new sensor so they haven’t been lasting the full 7 days and it takes 2 hours to warm up so I’ve been thinking about returning it because it has been impractical and inefficient for the last 5-6 months. When I first got it a little over a year ago it worked perfectly and now it seems like it’s not working at all other than displaying blood glucose to the pump but what’s the point if I can’t see it on my watch or phone if I don’t have time to check or busy doing something. With a few fixes I’m sure I would definitely keep it but at this point it’s a waste of money and time unfortunately 😢😡

So, compared to having had the 670g not being able to do anything like this and now the 780g, this is amazing that we have the availability to sync to our phones and also loved ones. Overall, it’s a nice and smooth interface. High on my wish list of things I wished the app did is; I wish that it were able to connect to AppleHealth like Dexcom does and all of that information goes into the Health app. Definitely wish there were widgets that could be made— that’s something that I think would help ease a lot, instead of having to go in the app or the pump, all you’d have to do is have a widget on your Home Screen and your sugars are right there. It’s also hard to find a watch face that allows me to add the app on watch faces— I literally had to go through a bunch of different faces just to see which ones allow you to display your current sensor reading as a complication. I really wish that we could add in different foods that we’re bolusing for and then we’d be able to see how different foods affect our blood sugars. It would also be nice to have more than just the last 24 hours worth of Time In Range for when you swipe left. Even being able to create all of the reports here in the app, instead of having to go online and generate reports through there would also just kind of streamline everything. So, can the engineers make the app sort of like a one-stop-shop, possibly? For sure to connect to AppleHealth, the widgets and watch faces and adding which foods we eat are the most important. Well, to me, they’re all really important but at least those things. Overall, decent app, though.
