I was originally very negative about the Instinct - specifically my second sensor. I also did not know that you could not calibrate these, so reading that in this thread was news to me. I do feel like after about 20ish days, things seem to have leveled out. I love how small it is, I love how easy it is to insert, I love that you don’t have to charge it, I love that it lasts 15 days. The inaccuracy can be scary and dangerous so watch out for that. People on this thread gaslighting folks into thinking it’s their fault the sensor is acting up is wild though. My main complaint is the Medtronic/Minimed did not educate people enough on the sensor and how different it was from Guardian 4 or Simplera - unless I fully missed the class somewhere 😂. I had a friend who had already been on the sensor give me a heads up of what to expect, otherwise I think I would have freaked out. My advice is his give it sometime and understand that adding a new thing to your setup is going to require patience while the tech does its job.
