We sit down to unpack our MiniMed Flex podcast episode where we interviewed two users. This is the post-show, where we go beyond the podcast to give our own candid reactions.

We dive into what stands out most about the MiniMed Flex, from how forgiving the Smart Guard algorithm is with missed boluses to the new form factor and magnetic charging. We also dig into some of the trade-offs, including app-only control, finicky sensors, and the arrival of the Instinct CGM. Joining Justin is our producer, Jenna Woolf, who has lived with type 1 for 30 years and used MiniMed as her pump until 2023.

The two also look ahead to MiniMed’s upcoming patch pump, MiniMed Fit, and what they hope to see from it.

If you haven’t heard the original interview with MiniMed Flex users, listen to it here. In that conversation, users shared what their first couple of months with the pump have been like—and this post-show builds on those experiences.
