THE BASICS OF
CONTINUOUS GLUCOSE MONITORING

WHAT IS CGM?

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems track glucose levels, every few minutes, 24/7 through a tiny sensor inserted under your skin, either on your belly or arm using an automatic inserter. The sensor measures your interstitial glucose level, which is the glucose found in the fluid between the cells.


WHAT IS SMART CGM?

Smart CGM predicts future high and low sensor glucose events up to an hour in advance and provides access to information that can inform you of clinically relevant glucose patterns.†

TO MEET YOUR NEEDS

The system allows you to customize your alerts. Be notified 10 to 60 minutes before your glucose is out of range. You can also silence alerts if needed plus, choose different settings for day and night.

Leveraging both modern mobile technology and the latest advances from Medtronic, the Guardian™ Connect system provides a smarter† way to manage your diabetes.

Through the Guardian™ Connect system individuals can:

  • See current glucose levels and trends, right on their mobile device, at any time
  • Get alerts – including predictive alerts up to 60 minutes in advance – of high and low glucose events*
  • Connect with care partners and healthcare professionals (HCPs) via the CareLink™ system platform, to enable care partner remote monitoring and HCP therapy optimization when connected to the internet via wifi/mobile data

The Guardian™ Connect system is the only CGM system with customizable predictive alerts that helps you outsmart both highs and lows. Using smart technology to predict where your glucose levels are headed, the system can alert you from 10 to 60 minutes before a high or low.

The Guardian™ Connect CGM system allows you to track your sensor glucose trends in real-time on your compatible mobile device. The Guardian™ Connect app will also alert you up to an hour before a high or low. Without predictive alerts turned on, it has a 90.5% hypoglycemia detection rate (when worn on the abdomen). With predictive alerts, turned on and set at 30 minutes before a low, the Guardian™ Connect system had a 98.5% hypoglycemic detection rate (when worn on the abdomen. With this information, you can take action to help avoid highs and lows.2,3
In the U.S., customers will need a prescription from their physician for the Guardian™ Connect system. (While anyone can download the Guardian™ Connect app, it will not function without being paired to a Guardian™ transmitter.)

The Guardian™ Connect system compatibility information can be found by visiting Guardian™ Connect FAQs.

You should confirm compatibility with the Guardian™ Connect system using this link before updating your operating system.

The transmitter used with the pump system is different and doesn’t have Bluetooth® connectivity so it isn’t compatible with the Guardian™ Connect app. The MiniMed™ 600-series pumps use the Guardian™ Link 3 transmitter, which uses a different wireless technology to communicate with the pump. The transmitter shell for the Guardian™ Connect system also has a “GC” etched on the surface opposed to the pump system transmitter shell, which just has a “G.”
