Simplera Sync, from MiniMed (Medtronic), is presented as a fully disposable, all-in-one glucose sensor. Unlike earlier generations, it doesn't require extra protective tape, reducing the number of steps needed to apply it.

The insertion process has been simplified to two steps, designed to make it more accessible both to people just starting with diabetes technology and to those who have been monitoring their glucose for years.

This type of device is part of a broader trend: making monitoring technology less and less visible and easier to fit into daily routine.
