About this course
In this video series, we’ll cover everything you need to know about this sensor designed exclusively for MiniMed™ systems.
The Instinct sensor measures 21 by 21 by 3 millimeters and weighs 1 g. It is inserted on the back of your upper arm using an all-in-one applicator. After a one-hour warm-up, it measures your glucose levels in real time and delivers readings to your insulin pump every five minutes. You can then view your sensor and pump data on both your MiniMed™ 780G insulin pump and your smartphone via the MiniMed™ Mobile app. The sensor lasts for up to 15 days. It is intended for people with diabetes 7 and older in the US, but age indication may differ in other regions.
Learning Objective
Upon completion of this module, you will achieve a comprehensive understanding of the Instinct CGM. You will learn how to insert, remove, and start the sensor; set alerts; share your glucose data; and connect your sensor to other devices. You will also get advanced tips for safe and proper use of the sensor. As a healthcare provider, you will be equipped to confidently support Instinct users; as a sensor user, you'll gain practical tools to maximize your experience with the device.
