Medtronic Enlite Approved in Canada!

Yaaay! The new Medtronic Enlite was approved by Health Canada sometime earlier this month! Unfortunately their customer care team was not able to give us any more info, but hopefully ordering will be available soon. I was really hoping for dexcom approval here but this is definitely the next best thing.

The Enlite sensor is a huge improvement over the previous minilink sensor, especially the inserter:

-6 day wear
-69% smaller sensor
-90 degree insertion angle
-Inserter with button and hidden needle
-26% increased accuracy in the hypo range (this is badly needed!)

I will update with more details as I find them- if anyone has any info on ordering, please let me know!
