FDA has approved Medtronic’s Simplera continuous glucose monitor (CGM). The company [says](https://news.medtronic.com/2024-08-07-Medtronic-announces-FDA-approval-of-Simplera-TM-CGM-and-global-partnership-with-Abbott?ref=fdaweb.com) Simplera is its first disposable, all-in-one CGM that is half the size of previous company CGMs. “The discreet design simplifies the insertion and wear experience, eliminating the need for overtape,” it says.
